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 transferred from another game.  They typically have a [[List of notable ID numbers|special OT and ID number]] indicating their authenticity and usually a [[Classic Ribbon|special promotional Ribbon]] from Generation III onward.  In Generation IV, most event Pokémon are distributed in [[Poké Ball#Generation IV_Poké Balls|Cherish Ball]]s, special [[Poké Ball]]s that exist solely for event distribution. 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.
