A creative Pokemon fan and Destiny 2 player is on the receiving end of quite a bit of attention after posting their impressively-armored Titan, outfitted to resemble the fan-favorite Pokemon Vaporeon. The uniquely-styled look, which utilizes a variety of the game’s many cosmetic sets, is catching the eyes of thousands of fans from both Pokemon and Destiny fandoms.
Bungie’s long-running looter-shooter Destiny 2 is currently in the midst of its Revenant Episode, the second installment after its major summer expansion in The Final Shape. While the title has largely maintained its popularity along with its active player base, the game has been met with numerous complaints as of late. While the Tonic controversy is still ongoing, the latest episode is still plagued with bugs, in addition to the perk-weighting issues, prompting Bungie to temporarily make the Vesper’s Host Dungeon have double drops, underscoring the need for Destiny 2‘s Episode 3 to bite the bullet every other release dodged.

The impressive Vaporeon-themed Destiny 2 Titan comes from a Reddit user with the handle of -Bukimina-, who posted their impressively stylized gear to a cosmetic-focused Destiny page. In details confirmed by the original poster, the Vaporeon look comes from utilizing the Apex Draconic gear set from Destiny 2‘s Dungeons and Dragons crossover from earlier this year, coupled with the Omolon Meteor Shader. The cat-like helm is from the more recently released Doki Doki cosmetic line, which when combined with the shaded Apex Draconic gear, certainly evokes the aquatic feline features that can be easily interpreted as Vaporeon.
With well over 2,000 upvotes within a week of being posted, it’s safe to say the uniquely-styled armor is popular with Pokemon and Destiny 2 fans alike. However, it actually isn’t the first time a player has attempted at modeling their character after a Pokemon, with one fan recently modeling their Destiny 2 Titan to look like the legendary Pokemon Palkia. Through the use of Amrita’s Dream Shader, as well as a variety of different armor sets, the fan acheives a striking resemblance to Palkia, certainly on par with the Vaporeon Titan above.
