'''Event Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are distributed through outside promotional sources; either via the internet, at live in-person events or attractions, promotional sales (including {{pkmn|movie}} premieres), or from promotional bonus discs or other special cross-promotional transfers from another game.


'''Event Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are distributed at promotional events organized by [[Nintendo]], such as [[Pokémon movie|movie]] premieres, expositions, festivals, places like [[PokéPark (theme park)|PokéPark]], real-life [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center stores]], and sometimes found in bonus disks or specially transferred from another game.  
On a number of occasions, Pokémon otherwise obtainable exclusively through events in the [[core series]] games have been made available through other means, either in normal gameplay (sometimes requiring [[save data bonus]]es) or by transferring the Pokémon from a [[Pokémon games#Side series|side series]] game.

[[Generation I|From the very beginning]], there were Pokémon that were made not obtainable in the initially-released pair of [[version|main series]] games, making these species of Pokémon only legitimately obtainable from Nintendo's promotional event distributions. In later generations, some of these event-exclusive Pokémon became available through [[side games]]. However, besides these games, these Pokémon can only be obtained from events, or for some, they can only be caught in the games after an in-game event is unlocked through a real-world event.
Since {{g|Red and Green}}, there have been Pokémon that were made unobtainable via normal gameplay in the core series games, making these species of Pokémon only legitimately obtainable from Nintendo's promotional event distributions. Some event-exclusive Pokémon have also been made available through cross-promotions with side series or [[spin-off Pokémon games]]. Most of the event-exclusive Pokémon are [[Mythical Pokémon]].

<!--American Video Game Magazine Nintendo Power had an event where players could mail in their copy of Gold or Silver and have it returned with a Celebi. Those without a copy of Gold or Silver received a T-Shirt-->
<!--In 2001, an event Celebi was available only via direct trade in Australia. No event for Celebi was available to players outside of these areas though.-->

==Event-exclusive moves==
Starting in [[Generation V]], the games contained moves that cannot be accessed in-game by means other than events. These are moves that are already known by distributed event Pokémon, not moves that can be learned by level-up by event-exclusive Pokémon.
 
Snarl was a TM move even in {{game|Black and White|s}}, but [[TM95|its TM]] required the [[Lock Capsule]] to obtain. However, the Lock Capsule was never distributed, and no Pokémon could learn Snarl via level-up in these games. However, as TM moves were able to be passed down by {{pkmn|breeding}} in Generation V, non-event Pokémon were able to learn Snarl in Black and White.

==Nintendo promotional event Pokémon==
==Nintendo promotional event Pokémon==

Event Pokémon typically have a [[List of notable ID numbers|special Original Trainer and ID number]], indicating their authenticity, and usually a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Gift Ribbons|special promotional Ribbon}} from Generation III onwards.

From Generation IV onwards, most event Pokémon are distributed in [[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.

Some Pokémon are distributed with a specific [[Nature]], [[gender]], [[Ability]], or {{Shiny|Shininess}}, while others may leave one or more of these random (though Shininess is usually strictly fixed one way or the other). For Pokémon obtained in [[Generation IV]] onwards, the dates do not need to be the dates the events were held. This is because the date is based on the one set on the handheld system.


All of the Pokémon with specific natures cannot have a different [[nature]], [[gender]], [[Ability]] or {{Shiny}} condition. For Pokémon obtained in [[Generation IV]] onwards, the dates do not need to be the dates the events were held. This is because the date is based on the one set on the DS.
Generation IV introduced the distribution of promotional events via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. At first, only [[Key Item]]s were distributed. These items allowed players to enter areas normally inaccessible. In June 2009, Pokémon began being distributed via Wi-Fi as well with the distribution of a [[List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Nintendo Zone Jirachi|Jirachi]]. Owners of the Japanese versions of the Sinnoh-based games, no matter where they were, could use Wi-Fi to receive the Pokémon. Later on, Japan began having distributions occurring simultaneously via events and over Wi-Fi. In March 2010, the [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] became available for North American and PAL versions of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. This became the first event Pokémon to be available to non-Japanese games via Wi-Fi.

There are very few countries or areas of the world where events tend to be held: Japan, {{pmin|the United States}}, {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|South Korea}}, Australia, and various countries of Western Europe, and even then, limited to certain cities or city centers. While it is not unheard of for event Pokémon to be distributed outside of these countries, it is incredibly rare. Some countries may see several years pass between promotional events, and a majority of countries have never had a local event. The establishment of wireless internet has made the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection a much better distribution model to reach Pokémon players around the world.

While it is not unheard of for event Pokémon to be distributed outside of these countries, for whatever logistical reason, it is incredibly rare. Indeed, some countries may see several years pass between promotional events, and most have never had one held in their country.

In [[Generation V]], the [[Pokémon Global Link]] became a new method for distributing Pokémon, though Pokémon were still distributed through Wi-Fi. Though they may not have been as unique as other event Pokémon (in regards to moves, Shininess, event [[Poké Ball]], [[Ribbon]]s, etc.), Pokémon from Global Link promotions can be obtained by anyone worldwide, depending on the country they set on the website; some may require purchase of other products, however.

Event Pokémon are Pokémon that are distributed through outside promotional sources; either via the internet, at live in-person events or attractions, promotional sales (including movie premieres), or from promotional bonus discs or other special cross-promotional transfers from another game.

On a number of occasions, Pokémon otherwise obtainable exclusively through events in the core series games have been made available through other means, either in normal gameplay (sometimes requiring save data bonuses) or by transferring the Pokémon from a side series game.

Event-exclusive Pokémon species

See also: Category:Promotion-only Pokémon

Since Pokémon Red and Green, there have been Pokémon that were made unobtainable via normal gameplay in the core series games, making these species of Pokémon only legitimately obtainable from Nintendo's promotional event distributions. Some event-exclusive Pokémon have also been made available through cross-promotions with side series or spin-off Pokémon games. Most of the event-exclusive Pokémon are Mythical Pokémon.

Event-exclusive moves

Starting in Generation V, the games contained moves that cannot be accessed in-game by means other than events. These are moves that are already known by distributed event Pokémon, not moves that can be learned by level-up by event-exclusive Pokémon.

Snarl was a TM move even in Pokémon Black and White, but its TM required the Lock Capsule to obtain. However, the Lock Capsule was never distributed, and no Pokémon could learn Snarl via level-up in these games. However, as TM moves were able to be passed down by breeding in Generation V, non-event Pokémon were able to learn Snarl in Black and White.

Periodically, Nintendo hosts or sponsors parties and events for fans, often in connection to the premiere of a new game or movie. They are especially notable in that certain rare Pokémon and items in the games, as well as cards and other products, are only available for a limited time from them. The methods used to transfer Pokémon and items to a game have varied over time, and include direct link trading and physical reception from an e-Card via Mystery Events. Wireless reception from a Wonder Spot and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection via Mystery Gift and distribution devices have also been used. Other methods may occur in the future.

Event Pokémon typically have a special Original Trainer and ID number, indicating their authenticity, and usually a special promotional Ribbon from Generation III onwards. (In later generations, these Ribbons may prevent the Pokémon from being traded through the GTS or Wonder Trade.) From Generation IV onwards, 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.

Some Pokémon are distributed with a specific Nature, gender, Ability, or Shininess, while others may leave one or more of these random (though Shininess is usually strictly fixed one way or the other). For Pokémon obtained in Generation IV onwards, the dates do not need to be the dates the events were held. This is because the date is based on the one set on the handheld system.

Generation IV introduced the distribution of promotional events via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. At first, only Key Items were distributed. These items allowed players to enter areas normally inaccessible. In June 2009, Pokémon began being distributed via Wi-Fi as well with the distribution of a Jirachi. Owners of the Japanese versions of the Sinnoh-based games, no matter where they were, could use Wi-Fi to receive the Pokémon. Later on, Japan began having distributions occurring simultaneously via events and over Wi-Fi.
