==Cosplay Pikachu==
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the player will be able to receive a unique female [[Cosplay Pikachu]], which has a black, heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This event occurs after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest Spectacular]].
This particular Pikachu is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each kind of Contest stat ({{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness) and learn exclusive moves which are linked to these stats. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the rightmost back room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.
Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}, meaning it cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Raichu}}.
