Nurse Joy Costume Guide

Dress like nurse Joy from Pokemon with a vintage dress, white apron, costume wig, white heels and a nurse hat.

ABOUT NURSE JOY:

Nurse Joy is responsible for overseeing the Pokemon centers, essential facilities in the Pokemon world where trainers can heal their Pokemon after battles.

There are multiple Nurse Joys spread across all regions and, while most look identical, there are some variations. Certain Nurse Joys, for example, specialize in treating certain Pokemon types such as Water-types or Ice-types.

It is not made clear how there are so many Nurse Joys but the running gag among fans of the series is that they are part of some government-backed cloning program.

How To Dress Like Nurse Joy

1. DRESS – Our Nurse Joy cosplay starts with an adorable pink retro dress with a Peter Pan collar. While not identical to the one worn by Nurse Joy, we’re sure she would approve!

2. APRON – Next, add a similarly retro apron over your dress. We’re not sure an apron is necessary as Nurse Joy doesn’t seem to get her hands dirty too often but it’s always better safe than sorry.

3. WIG – This pink wig was designed specifically for a Nurse Joy cosplay like ours and we couldn’t be happier with it, it really is perfect.

4. FLATS – Sensible footwear is a must when you spend all day healing battle-injured Pokemon. A plain pair of white, strappy flats is just what the Doctor ordered.

5. NURSE HAT – We love the whole vintage vibe of this nurse uniform, particularly this 20th-century-inspired nurse’s hat.

6. CLEFAIRY PLUSH – Because sometimes even the best of nurses need a helping hand, this Clefairy is on call to jump in whenever you need it.

7. POKEBALL – Finally, any Nurse Joy outfit worth its salt needs a Pokeball, hopefully housing a freshly healed and happy Pokemon friend.
