'''Event Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are distributed via the Internet or at promotional events (such as {{pkmn|movie}} premieres, expositions, festivals, places like {{OBP|PokéPark|theme park}}, real-life [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center stores]], toy stores, etc.), or sometimes obtained from bonus discs or a special transfer from another game. Some Pokémon that were event exclusive in a certain generation have also been made available through other means at different points in time.

On a number of occasions, Pokémon formerly exclusive to events have later become available through other means, either in normal gameplay or from a [[save data bonus]].
