They are especially notable in that certain rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[item]]s in the games, as well as cards and other things, are only available for a limited time from them. The methods used to transfer Pokémon and items to a game have varied over time, and include direct [[Trade#link cable|link trading]] and physical reception from an [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional Cards|e-Card]] via [[Mystery Events]].  Wireless reception from a ''Wonder Spot'' and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection via [[Mystery Gift]] and the use of a [[distribution cartridge]] were also used. Other methods may occur in the future.

Event Pokémon are usually desired because they are hard or impossible to find in the games, holding a rare item, and/or know at least one special move that would otherwise be impossible to have via leveling up, TMs, HMs, Move Tutors, or even breeding.
