Pokémon fans may recall Magikarp as a comically weak fish-shaped pokémon. However, one cosplayer’s latest iteration of the pocket monster has turned Magikarp into quite a catch.
Sev, the moniker of a DC area cosplayer, is making Internet waves with his barely-there Magikarp costume, which he debuted at fan convention Colossalcon in June. A month later, the 28-year-old is still in the limelight.
“I never expected the simplest costume I ever made to get so much attention,” he said.
Sev told Forbes he created the costume as a joke based on the “Do You Even Splash” Magikarp meme, a Pokémon-centric version of “Do You Even Lift.” Fitness is a big part of Sev’s routine: he lifts weights, and recently took up gymnastics.
“The Magikarp cosplay took a week to make,” he said. “Unless you count the physique, which took seven years.”
