Z-A Fan Shows Off Hex Maniac Cosplay

Z-A Fan Shows Off Hex Maniac Cosplay

Summary

  • Pokemon Legends Z-A teaser introduces updated Hex Maniac design.
  • Fans excited for Hex Maniac’s return due to occult & supernatural themes.
  • Cosplayer recreates Hex Maniac’s new look, praised for attention to detail.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A has just barely given expectant fans their first glimpse of the Hex Maniac, but that hasn’t stopped one cosplayer from seizing the new opportunity. Pokemon Legends: Z-A fans are sharing their praise for the quick cosplay, and their excitement over the return of the Hex Maniac.

The Hex Maniac in Pokemon has always been something of a mystery. The game franchise has included the occult and supernatural themes since the very first title, while the Hex Maniac made her first official appearance in Gen 3. Since then, most of the games have included a Hex Maniac trainer, or in some cases, an apparition ghost girl that spontaneously appears in Pokemon games.

Pokemon cosplayer sadgirlcitycos has now shared their rendition of the Hex Maniac as they appear in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Hex Maniac’s outfit and appearance have changed somewhat since her last incarnation, with her wearing a shorter layered black dress, a purple ribbon, corset belt, and purple earrings. The cosplayer does a great job of replicating this new look, sans the purple earrings, even going so far as to use makeup to emulate the tired downturned eye look that Hex Maniac has in her first reveal. Fans have been quick to share their support for the cosplayer’s effort, complimenting the overall look, makeup, and recommending that the cosplayer add the purple earrings to fully polish the design.

Hex Maniac’s Return Has Been Long-Awaited

Pokemon fans have counted on seeing a Hex Maniac appear in nearly every game ever since she’s become a regular part of the series. However, Hex Maniac has a particular tie to Lumiose City, where Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set. In Pokemon X and Y, which was also set there, players were particularly spooked by a Hex Maniac – or a ghost that looks just like her – suddenly appearing behind the player, declaring that they’re not the one, and then gliding out of view. No explanation for the character’s random appearance was ever shared. While there’s a good chance that the games will continue with the randomness and secretive nature of this encounter, players are particularly hopeful that the Hex Maniac’s inclusion in the Pokemon Legends: Z-A teaser will mean a follow-up to that odd moment.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A still has a lot to show fans, and a bit to prove following the messy launch of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. With a late 2025 release window, players may still have to wait a while before they learn more about what the game has in store for them.
