Legendary Beasts
When will the beasts be added? They unlock something in Black and White... - unsigned comment from Don't Hug Lucario! (talk • contribs)
- We know nothing about them except for the fact that they unlock something. That's it. R.A. Hunter Blade 12:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Jirachi
The Pokewalker course is unlocked through having any Jirachi, so does the gamestop one need to be here? RB Golbat (talk) 21:42, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
NPCs with more info
For Arceus, it has another in-game effect in Platinum that allows more information to be learned at the Oreburgh Mine. For those that can have NPCs give out more info only, would they be counted here? --Super goku (talk) 20:52, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Is it any Arceus or just event/fateful encounter Arcues? If the latter, it's probably fine for this page. Tiddlywinks (talk) 21:03, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Although it is kinda off-topic to me, the Oreburgh Mine lists it as "Either one caught from the Hall of Origin or one obtained from an event distribution" for the NPC. However, my point was on any NPCs that do so since the Arceus listed here states that it activates an in-game event to "Learn more about Arceus at the Oreburgh Mine" in Platinum. To give a similar example, the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief will appear in Lumiose Press should the player have the Japanese Nebel Volcanion and give more information on Volcanion, while the American Mac Hoopa will cause a NPC to give more info on Hoopa in the library of the Parfum Palace. --Super goku (talk) 22:33, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, I misunderstood. Looking more closely, I guess this page really is focusing on specifically Pokemon ("individuals") distributed as events.
- So the answer is "yes". (Reasonably, even, if you think it belongs, just add it; if there's a disagreement it can be sorted out.)
- Kind of on a tangent, this page could maybe use a minor overhaul. The full event distro template is a bit overkill: the moveset and stuff is beside the point, I'm pretty sure the in-game events don't need the Pokemon to look (or be distributed) exactly like that. And the "Effect" in that template is pretty limited as well, putting more complete descriptions in each section would be nice too. Tiddlywinks (talk) 23:21, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Zarude in Isle of Armor
zarude has in-game effects in the isle of armor, as listed here. when you show it to an NPC in Armor Station, you receive a Partner Cap. i'm not sure how to format this on the page. - unsigned comment from Crows (talk • contribs)
Suggestion for splitting into 2 categories
Some Pkm only state their content in their debut generation (Shaymin, Keldeo, Meloetta, Hoopa) and some are not mentioned at all (Forces of Nature, Kyurem). However, these pieces of content likely are for when the Pkm are traded to a newer game, since not all of them are distributed through an event (at least not in every generation). So, should we rename the article and split? --Fawfaw (talk) 21:19, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- I don't quite understand. What exactly are the two "categories" you want to split the article into? Storm Aurora (talk) 21:42, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- I mean like "event Pkm" and "non-event Pkm". One that we already have in the article is Rotom. I was thinking about moving it to the trivia section because Rotom was not distributed in Gen4, but then I remember there are more as mentioned above. --Fawfaw (talk) 22:00, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, I see what you mean - I was thinking Rotom's inclusion on this page was weird. I think it's better to keep this page restricted exclusively to in-game events/items/Pokémon encounters that are unlocked by having an event Pokémon, since in most circumstances you can't obtain these event Pokémon anymore, so documenting them serves more of a historical purpose than a practical one. In-game events that can be triggered by having a Pokémon that's not event-exclusive can be triggered at any time, so I think they should have a separate list (or maybe even multiple lists, as there are bound to be a lot of them). In short, I don't think this page needs to be moved at all - we can just make a new article called "List of Pokémon with in-game effects" or smth and have it link to this page if people want event-exclusive Pokémon with in-game effects.
