Event Pokémon



Event Pokémon, also called costumed Pokémon, are specifically made for events with visual attributes closely related to the event theme, such as, themed-hats, clothes or costumes. Both regular and shiny can be obtainable during certain events. Some Event Pokémon have only the male/female gender available. They can be seen in the Pokémon collection by using costume search filter. Event Pokémon are recorded in the Event Pokédex. Clone Pokémon are considered Event Pokémon in the search, but are not registered in the Event Pokédex.

In general, all Event Pokémon have the same stats of the non-costumed Pokémon form, being the only difference the visual attributes. However, some Event Pokémon are treated in the game code as different Pokémon forms (such as alolan, galarian, shadow etc). These Event Pokémon can present several different characteristics, and their corresponding shiny switches in the Event Pokédex are only unlocked if, and only if, the costumed shiny form is catched. The Event Pokémons that have this characteristic are:


 * Pikachu Libre, Pop and Rock that have a difference set of possible attacks.
 * Flying, 5th anniversary, Okinawa Pikachu, that has one extra attack - Fly.
 * Explorer, clone, Kariyushi and Holiday Pikachu.
 * Halloween-costumed Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander and Pikachu.
 * Clone Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise. They cannot megaevolve.
 * New year Slowpoke family.
 * Halloween-costumed Gengar. It cannot megaevolve.
 * Lapras with Scarf.
 * Armored Mewtwo. It has different stats and set of possible attacks.
 * Holiday Delibird.
 * Halloween-costumed Sableye. It cannot megaevolve.

Also some Event Pokémon knew specific attacks during certain events.

Some Event Pokémon cannot evolve, while the non-costumed form can. When Event Pokémon are able to evolve, they keep the piece of costume. Event Pokémon do not have any costume when Mega-Evolved. The Event Pokémon forms are presented on Pokémon individual pages on section Event Pokémon forms of the article (such as in Pikachu's).
