List of clothing (anime)
In the Pokémon anime, while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.
Ash
Main outfits
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his hat.
Original series
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike May and Dawn, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by Red's, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of Brock and Misty, which were designed purely for the anime instead of using the outfits seen in the game itself and the artwork for the game.
Advanced Generation
Diamond & Pearl
Side outfits
Formal clothes
- In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wears an outfit based directly on that of Sir Aaron: it is a blue tunic over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded cape.

- Brock wears a white tuxedo in Beauty and the Breeder.
- Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink bow tie.
- Brock wears a purple suit in fantasies in Berry, Berry Interesting and Hail to the Chef. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a tie, and in the second, with a wp:bow tie.
- In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of cape or mantle in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange skullcap.
Weather clothes
Swimwear
- Brock's usually wears light blue swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as purple instead of light blue, due to the different palette.
- In the hotspring scene in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, he wears a different pair of swin trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
Other clothes
- One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly apron. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
- He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the Pokémon movies. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.

Jessie, James and Meowth
Main outfits
Side outfits
Formal clothes
- In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagent outfits based more on the Victorian era than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a suit of armor.
