A group of cosplayers has created an inventive mashup of Sailor Moon and Pokémon’s ever-popular Eevee evolutions. The classic Sailor Moon anime has seen many similar fanmade mashups in the past, including a range of figures giving Psyduck some magical evolutions.

Eevee and its various evolutions have long been a favorite among Pokémon fans. The species’ unique gimmick - of having a wide variety of evolutions available through various means - has helped the franchise to easily introduce and integrate many new game mechanics. These include friendship levels in generation 2, and later on environment-influenced evolutions. For creative fans, meanwhile, the Eeveelutions also present a unique opportunity for fan art. In addition to speculative designs for new Eeveelutions, some artists inspired by the Pokémon can create many variations on a common theme. These can cover a wide variety of reimaginings, some being rather strange, such as one recent piece which turned the Eevee evolutions into kinds of frogs.

Now, a group of friends has created a mashup cosplay of the Eeveelutions and the protagonists of Sailor Moon. An image of the group cosplay was posted to Reddit by user Beckygrace7, with the costumes themselves credited to Instagram’s weeb_next_door. The iconic sailor uniforms have been rendered in the colors of Glaceon, Sylveon, Umbreon, and Leafeon. In addition, each costume also sports a pair of ears matching the Eeevee evolution in question alongside various unique accessories. For example, much like the original Sailor Scouts, each cosplayer sports a different style of shoe. This isn't the first time that the Eeveelution family has been reinvented as a combat-ready cosplay, either. Earlier this year, fans saw Eevee inspire a majestic Valkyrie warrior cosplay.

Pokémon Eevee Evolution Cosplay Has Unique Sailor Moon Weaponry

Another unique aspect of each cosplay is the accompanying weapon, which deepens the outfit’s resemblance to a given sailor scout. Glaceon wields a mirror in the same manner as Sailor Neptune, whilst Sylveon bears a chain of hearts similar to Sailor Venus’ own magical weapon. Umbreon’s staff bears a resemblance to Sailor Pluto’s Garnet Rod, and Leafeon’s Leaf Blade-like sword appears to draw from Sailor Uranus’ Space Sword. Similarly, each cosplay’s front bow has a different style of Poké Ball as its centerpiece, matching the Eeveelution’s color scheme. Umbreon, for example, has a black and gold Ultra Ball. Altogether, these cosplayers are perfect real-life versions of both Pokémon and Sailor Scouts.

These cosplays are brilliantly detailed and excellently made, and put a fresh spin on Pokémon's Eevee evolutions. Each outfit blends an Eeveelution and Sailor Scout together brilliantly. The use of color schemes and ears makes identifying the Eevee evolution in question a simple task. And at the same time, it is also immediately apparent which scout has influenced which cosplay. Both sets of parallels make the final effect that much stronger. All the cosplayers show off a unique style whilst simultaneously clearly belonging to the group as a whole, much like the original sailor scouts do. Furthermore, the use of Scout-inspired weapons such as Leafeon’s sword really brings this awesome Pokémon cosplay together. One can only wonder how the other Eeveelutions may look in the same Sailor Moon style, fighting for love and justice in the name of the Moon.
