'''Event Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are distributed at Nintendo promotional events, such as movie premiers, expositions, festivals, places like PokéPark, real-life Pokémon Center stores and sometimes found in bonus disks or specially transfered from another game.  They typically have a special OT indicating their authenticity, and usually a special promotional Ribbon from Generation III onward.  In Generation IV, all event Pokémon are distributed in Cherish Balls.  Event Pokémon are usually desired because they know at least one special move that would otherwise be impossible for them to learn via leveling up, TMs, move tutors, or even breeding.

'''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.  


==Generation I==
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.

:''See also: [[:Category:Promotion-only Pokémon]]''
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]].


==Generation III==
===Generation I===
*{{p|Mew}}--The [[Old Sea Map]] e-card could be obtained from an event, which would then be scanned for a player of {{pkmn|Emerald}} version to receive an item of the same name in-game, which could then be used to access [[Faraway Island]], where Mew could be battled.

*{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}--The [[Mystic Ticket]] e-card could be obtained from an event, allowing the player to access [[Navel Rock]] in-game by using the item in {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}} or {{pkmn|Emerald}}, where Lugia and Ho-Oh could be battled.

==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==
{{incomplete|section|Details on serial codes (Gen VI) and QR codes (Gen VII)}}
Periodically, [[Nintendo]] hosts or sponsors parties and events for fans, often in connection to the premiere of a new {{pkmn|games|game}} or {{pkmn|movie}}. They are especially notable in that certain rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[item]]s 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 [[Trade#link cable|link trading]] and physical reception from an [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional Cards|e-Card]] via [[Mystery Events]]. Wireless reception from a ''Wonder Spot'' and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection via [[Mystery Gift]] and [[distribution device]]s have also been used. Other methods may occur in the future.
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. (In later generations, these Ribbons may prevent the Pokémon from being traded through the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]].) 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.
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.
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.
