Pokémon Masters EX
A one-day special event, Electricity Disruptors, saw the Pokémon Center be plunged into darkness due to a mysterious power outage, causing a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon to appear and the Lavender Town theme from Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow to replace the usual background music. Several actual ghosts also made an appearance, including the Lumiose City ghost girl from Pokémon X and Y and the fake Acerola from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Pokémon Sleep
During the second week of the Raikou Research event (held from April 1 to 7, 2024), the Snorlax raised on Greengrass Isle starts at a rating of Ultra 4 rather than Basic 1.

For April Fools' Day, Bulbagarden became Larrygarden, being restyled to the aesthetic of the Paldean Gym Leader and Elite Four member Larry.[3]
Bulbapedia had a grayscale theme for the day to match Larry's plain personality,[4] while the Bulbagarden forums had a simple, plain-style skin.[5]
