pokemon trainer halloween costume

Affiliate links may be included.

Pokemon Go has completely blown up around the world, and that means that Pokemon Halloween costumes are going to be THE thing to wear this year. The good news is that unlike the few years that Frozen dominated the scene and every third trick-or-treater was either Anna, Elsa or Olaf, there’s a heck of a lot more variety in the world of Pokemon.

I’m making a list of the Pokemon characters and trainers, and I have to be honest, this is a big undertaking! I’m adding more content every single day and as more costumes become available I will do my best to keep this list updated. I have no doubts that costume companies and Etsy store owners are frantically making as much Pokemon as they can in light of the incredible hit of the app. At this point, in many cases shirts are about as close to a costume as I can find. Hopefully as Halloween draws closer I’ll find some new actual costumes for many of the characters! Also please note the sizes when reviewing costumes. Some items are sized for adults, and some are sized for children. With the DIY ideas, you should be able to modify things fairly easily if I’m showing options for an adult and you need a child, or vice versa. And if you need extra help, let me know and I’ll help you hunt!

If you know of a costume that I haven’t linked to or couldn’t find what you were looking for here please let me know in the comments so that I can get it added for future readers.
