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.

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. In some events, the ability to evolve a certain non-evolvable form is released. Clone Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise cannot Mega Evolve. The Event Pokémon forms are presented on Pokémon individual pages on section Event Pokémon forms of the article (such as in Pikachu's). Unlike regular forms,Event Pokémon cannot be transferred to other games.

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 unlocked if, and only if, the costumed Shiny form is caught. The Event Pokémons that have this characteristic are:


 * Halloween Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu.
 * Clone Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Pikachu.
 * New Year Slowpoke family.
 * Halloween Sableye and Gengar.
 * Drip Lapras.
 * Holiday Delibird and Cubchoo.
 * Libre, Pop star, Rock star, Explorer, Kariyushi, Winter, Shaymin scarf, Worlds 2022, Flying (Okinawa, 5th anniversary, green and purple), green shirt, and purple shirt Pikachu.
 * Armored Mewtwo.

Also, some of them have a difference set of possible attacks:
 * Armored Mewtwo.
 * Libre, Pop star, Rock star, Kariyushi, Flying, Flying Okinawa, and Flying 5th anniversary Pikachu.
 * None of them can be Elite TM able to learn Surf and Thunder.
 * With exception of Flying 5th anniversary Pikachu, none of them can be Elite TM able to learn Present.
 * Flying, Flying okinawa, and Flying 5th anniversary Pikachu can learn Fly.

Armored Mewtwo is the only Event Pokémon that has different stats from its non-costumed form. Also some Event Pokémon were caught with exclusive non Elite TM able legacy attacks during certain events:
