Event Pokémon (GO)

Event Pokémon or costumed Pokémon are special forms that have appeared during various events for a limited time in Pokémon GO.

These forms are usually an otherwise-normal Pokémon with an event-relevant costume. Some Event Pokémon can potentially be Shiny as well, or know event-exclusive moves. Some Event Pokémon can evolve, and will retain their costume after doing so. From July 2021 until February 6, 2025, event forms (except Clone Pokémon) had their own category in the Pokédex of Pokémon GO. As of February 6, 2025, Event Pokémon, including Clone Pokémon, are shown as part of individual Pokémon entires within the standard Pokédex. Since Event Pokémon are unique to Pokémon GO, they cannot be transferred to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and Pokémon HOME.

As of November 6, 2026, there are 330 Event Pokémon in total, originating from 130 species of Pokémon. This includes:

  • 73 costumed Pokémon released since the February 6, 2025 Pokédex update
  • 245 costumed Pokémon categorized in the deprecated Event Pokédex (243 unique costumes, and 2 duplicate costumes)
  • 4 Clone Pokémon
  • 8 variations in form (3 additional for Pumpkaboo, 3 additional for Gourgeist, 1 additional for Sinistea, and 1 additional for Polteageist).

Trivia

  • Mewtwo is currently the only Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO to have an event-exclusive form.
    • Armored Mewtwo is also the only event-exclusive form in the game to have different base stats from its normal form, being more defense-weighted than regular Mewtwo.
  • Lugia caught at GO Fest 2017 in Chicago and Mewtwo caught at Pokémon GO Stadium in Yokohama appear when searching "Costume" in the list of a player's caught Pokémon. They do not appear in the Event Pokédex.
