Partners in Cosplay

Due to the pandemic last year, Halloween parties and fall cons were minimal or completely MIA. But all the events that were skipped or minimalized last year are coming back, although with restrictions and rules.

So in honor of the fact we spent 2020 either being closer to your family than ever or being forced to see your loved ones, let’s make this year’s Halloween costume post about duos — in other words, costumes representing the same series. It’s similar to the matching theme of my Valentine’s 2020 post, but this time, I tried to include more of a mix besides the typical his-and-hers pairs. I’ve also added some info for groups of three or more members.

Note that sizing appears to be very limited right now, but keep checking for restocks. Also, at several stores, different sizes can be cheaper or more expensive. Price listed is MSRP because of this.

Disguise Ash Ketchum Classic Unisex Adult Costume & Disguise Pokemon Childrens Unisex Pikachu Jumpsuit Halloween Costume – $19.97-29.99 at Walmart

While official Pikachu costumes and/or clothing can be found everywhere, not too many places carry an Ash costume. You can expand your group cosplay with other Pokémon costumes like all these kids options from Party City or a Poke Ball from Oriental Trading Company.
