Event Pokémon

rdfs:comment

Event Pokémon are Pokémon that are distributed during events. Before the advent of Wi-Fi in Generation IV, these special Pokémon were usually given out by direct trade at Nintendo promotional events or sometimes found in bonus material such as discs. The majority of these events were held in Japan, with few making it to other countries. From 2009, Pokémon and Key Items needed to access Event Pokémon could be delivered by Wi-Fi; this made it much easier for players around the globe to get their hands on rare Pokémon. In Generation V, this has extended to the Dream World.

Event Pokémon are Pokémon that are distributed during events. Before the advent of Wi-Fi in Generation IV, these special Pokémon were usually given out by direct trade at Nintendo promotional events or sometimes found in bonus material such as discs. The majority of these events were held in Japan, with few making it to other countries. From 2009, Pokémon and Key Items needed to access Event Pokémon could be delivered by Wi-Fi; this made it much easier for players around the globe to get their hands on rare Pokémon. In Generation V, this has extended to the Dream World. Event Pokémon have a special OT and ID number indicating their authenticity and usually a special promotional Ribbon from Generation III onward. In Generation IV, most event Pokémon are distributed in Cherish Balls, special Poké Balls 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.
