Event Pokémon: Difference between revisions

'''Event Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are distributed at Nintendo promotional events, such as movie premiers, expositions, festivals, places like PokéPark, real-life Pokémon Center stores and sometimes found in bonus disks or specially transfered from another game.  They typically have a special OT indicating their authenticity, and usually a special promotional Ribbon from Generation III onward.  In Generation IV, all event Pokémon are distributed in Cherish Balls.  Event Pokémon are usually desired because they know at least one special move that would otherwise be impossible for them to learn via leveling up, TMs, move tutors, or even breeding.

==Generation I==

==Generation II==

*{{p|Celebi}}

==Generation III==

*{{p|Mew}}: The [[Old Sea Map]] e-card could be obtained from an event, which would then be scanned for a player of {{pkmn|Emerald}} version to receive an item of the same name in-game, which could then be used to access [[Faraway Island]], where Mew could be battled.

*{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}: The [[Mystic Ticket]] e-card could be obtained from an event, allowing the player to access [[Navel Rock]] in-game by using the item in {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}} or {{pkmn|Emerald}}, where Lugia and Ho-Oh could be battled.

*{{p|Celebi}}

*{{p|Jirachi}}: People who pre-ordered {{pkmn|Colosseum}} would receive a bonus disk that would download a Jirachi to a GBA game. In Europe, Jirachi can be downloaded from {{pkmn|Channel}} after the game is completed.

*{{p|Deoxys}}: The [[Aurora Ticket]] e-card could be obtained in an event, allowing the player to access [[Birth Island]] and battle Deoxys after completing a puzzle.

==Generation IV==

*{{p|Darkrai}}: People were given a Darkrai with the moves {{m|Roar of Time}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}} to commemorate the movie, [[The Rise of Darkrai]]. Darkrai can also be obtained after doing a mission in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].

*{{p|Shaymin}}: People were given a Shaymin to commemorate the movie, [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]].

*{{p|Arceus}}

==Nintendo Promotional Event Pokémon==

Periodically, [[Nintendo]] hosts or sponsors parties and events for fans, often in connection to the premier of a new [[game]] or [[movie]]. They are especially notable in that certain rare [[Pokémon]] 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]], wireless reception from a '''Wonder Spot''' via [[Mystery Gift]], or physical reception from an [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional Cards|e-Card]] via [[Mystery Events]]; other methods may occur in the future.

Note that all of the Pokémon with specific natures cannot have a different nature, gender and ability and they cannot be shiny. For Pokémon obtained in Generation {{Gen|IV|}}, the dates do not need to be the dates the events were held. This is because the date is based on the one set on the DS.
