Cosplay Pikachu (Japanese: おきがえピカチュウ Clothes-changing Pikachu) is a variant female Pikachu that is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each of the five Contest conditions (Coolness, Beauty, Cuteness, Cleverness, and Toughness), and learn exclusive moves, which are linked to these costumes.
Without a costume, Cosplay Pikachu has the appearance of a female Pikachu with a black heart on the tip of its tail (fitting the heart-shaped notch all female Pikachu have on their tail).
In the core series games
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after the first time the player takes part in a Pokémon Contest Spectacular, an NPC will give the player Cosplay Pikachu because according to her it matches the player's costume; the Cosplay Pikachu she gives the player will be in the Pikachu Rock Star costume for male players or the Pikachu Pop Star costume for female players. When obtained, Cosplay Pikachu will have its Hidden Ability and its Contest condition in each category is equally elevated. Cosplay Pikachu cannot be Shiny.
Cosplay Pikachu can switch between costumes at any time by going to any Contest Hall in the Hoenn region and talking to the Pokémon Breeder in the green room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.
Upon removing a costume, Cosplay Pikachu will forget the special move associated with the previous costume. Upon putting on a new costume, Cosplay Pikachu will learn the special move associated with the new costume. When changing costume, if Cosplay Pikachu knows four moves but not the special move of its previous costume, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Cosplay Pikachu cannot put on the new costume unless it does). If Cosplay Pikachu's only known move is the special move and the costume is removed, then it will learn Thunder Shock. Cosplay Pikachu can remain in a costume even if it forgets the associated special move.
Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group, meaning it cannot breed. It also cannot evolve into Raichu and is unaffected by the Eviolite. Like any Pikachu, though, Cosplay Pikachu is affected by the Light Ball.
Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank, nor can it be traded via Wonder Trade or Global Trade System.

Trivia
- Cosplay Pikachu shares several similarities with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver's Spiky-eared Pichu. Both are female-only variants of the Pikachu evolutionary line who were introduced in remakes. They are both incapable of evolving, breeding, or being transferred to later games. They also both cannot be obtained as Shiny, though Shiny models do exist in the game code for them.
- Despite no longer being present in the game data of the Generation VII games, a poster featuring Pikachu Pop Star can be seen on the wall in Totem Mimikyu's room in the Thrifty Megamart.
- In most official books, these costumes are stated to have come from Kanto.
- Cosplay Pikachu's costumes are often not considered distinct forms of Pikachu:
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu is registered as a single form, in its uncostumed appearance.
- In Pokémon Bank, Cosplay Pikachu is not registered as a form at all.
