In the Pokémon anime, while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

Ash

Main outfits

All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his hat. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.

Original series

File:Anime Ash.png
Ash's first outfit

One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike May and Dawn, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by Red's, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of Brock and Misty, which were designed purely for the anime instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trims worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course Ash's hat. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the Pokémon League. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his Kanto and Orange League badges pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his Poké Balls from his belt.

Ash wore this outfit from Pokémon - I Choose You! to Gotta Catch Ya Later!.

Advanced Generation series

File:SatoshiAG.png
Ash's second outfit

Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new pants and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the Poké Ball symbols seen frequently in the Generation III games, particularly in the designs of the main characters' clothes. Ash's Advanced Generation series outfit is similar to the one Red wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from Gotta Catch Ya Later! to When Pokémon Worlds Collide!.

Diamond & Pearl series

File:SatoshiDP.png
Ash's third outfit

Based on the example set by the Advanced Generation series, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the Diamond & Pearl series. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new pants, and new sneakers. His gloves appear to be the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of Lucas, the male player character from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of Red's outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the Poké Ball symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash started wearing this outfit in When Pokémon Worlds Collide!, and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.

Side outfits

Formal clothes

Weather clothes

Swimwear
  • Ash's most common swimwear in the Kanto and Johto seasons is a pair of blue trunks with yellow stripes going down the side. Virtually every episode in the Kanto and Johto series where he swims, he is in this swimsuit.
  • Ash changes to a different swimsuit along with his clothing in the Advanced Generation series. He has orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down his left side. The same pattern is much smaller on the right, appearing only on the waistband. This actually appeared once before, in The Pi-Kahuna, but the swimsuit itself didn't make frequent appearances until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
  • In the Diamond & Pearl series, Ash is in red trunks with a light blue line at the bottom. Like the orange swimsuit, this actually appeared once before, in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, but didn't appear frequently until the Diamond & Pearl series.
  • A swimsuit similar to his Kanto/Johto one was seen in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, but it was two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on bottom) with white stripes instead of yellow down the sides.

Other clothes

  • Ash has a pair of green and yellow pajamas that he wears whenever he sleeps. It was first seen in Pokémon - I Choose You! when he ran to Professor Oak's Laboratory in it. This clothing stays with him from Kanto to Sinnoh. When he sleeps, he removes his hat.
  • He also wore a cow suit in Challenge of the Samurai.
  • Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into Erika's gym. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "Ashley". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
  • Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for DJ Mary's radio show in Air Time!. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of Robin Hood.
  • A running gag in the series, where Ash's mother reminds him to change his underwear everyday, actually appeared several times, most notably in the Christmas special Holiday Hi-Jynx where Ash went swimming in his blue and white striped boxers.
  • In Pruning a Passel of Pals!, Ash is seen in his new blue boxers.
  • In Tanks a Lot!, Ash wore army clothing.
  • In Battling the Generation Gap!, Ash and Pikachu wore Hawaiian-styled clothing.

Misty

Main outfits

All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.

Misty's first outfit
File:Pokemon - Hoenn - Misty.gif
Misty's outfit in the Advance Generation series

Original series

Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here.She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping or wearing a formal outfit of some sort, such as her mermaid outfit.

Misty wore this outfit from Pokémon - I Choose You! to Gotta Catch Ya Later!.

Advanced Generation series

Misty's second outfit is a yellow vest with a large blue button on the front and yellow shorts worn over some sort of dark-red swimsuit or leotard. She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a Spheal.

Misty started wearing this outfit in The Princess and the Togepi. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, but she was carrying a pink bag.

Diamond & Pearl series

Misty has not yet appeared in the Diamond and Pearl series.

Brock

Main outfits

Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.

Brock's Advanced Generation series outfit

Original series

One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets. With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from Showdown in Pewter City to A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!.

Advanced Generation series

In the Advanced Generation series, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together! to Home is Where the Start Is.

Diamond & Pearl series

Brock's Diamond & Pearl series outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit in Two Degrees of Separation!, and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.

Brock's jacket
  • Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
  • In the hotspring scene in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.

Other clothes

  • One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly apron. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
  • He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the Pokémon movies. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
  • He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for DJ Mary's radio show in Air Time!.
  • He wore army attire in Tanks A Lot! when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
  • He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in Battling The Generation Gap!.

Tracey

Main outfit

Tracey's main outfit.

Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green T-shirt, red shorts, blue sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face. Tracey is the only main character from the original series who never changed outfits at the start of Advanced Generation.

Side outfits

Formal clothes

Weather clothes

Swimwear
  • His first swimsuit was simply a pair of navy-blue swim trunks as seen in The Joy of Pokémon.
  • The second was seen in Pokémon Double Trouble. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
  • The third was seen in The Blue Badge of Courage. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

Other clothes

In Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing, Daisy fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

May

Main outfit

May's main outfit

Advanced Generation series

May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based off of the outfit her game counterpart wears in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Diamond & Pearl series

Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series, and Misty did before her return in The Princess and the Togepi, May changed clothes sometime between her departure in Home Is Where the Start Is and her return in Our Cup Runneth Over! Her outfit in the Diamond & Pearl series is based off of the outfit that her game counterpart wears in Pokémon Emerald. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange vest with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the Advanced Generation Series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.

Formal clothes

  • In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red ball gown decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to Beautifly wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular bandanna, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.

  • During the Wallace Cup, May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach veil with a green gem on top, and a peach long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff and her belly button are exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

Main outfit

Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink Poké Ball print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow back pack with all her personal belongings.

Dawn in her Contest dress

Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her Pokémon Contests.

  • In her debut appearance, she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
  • She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the Floaroma Town contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the Hearthome City contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the Wallace Cup. Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.

Jessie, James and Meowth

Team Rocket's main outfits.

Main outfits

Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white Team Rocket uniforms. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most Rocket Grunts wear a black version of the same uniform. Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in Training Daze, where they wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

Side outfits

Disguises

Main article: List of Team Rocket's disguises

Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a disguise to fool the twerps. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and his friends with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy. Brock is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

Formal clothes

  • In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the Victorian era than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a suit of armor.
  • Whenever she competes in Pokémon Super Contests, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessalina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ Candy Musalina).

Weather clothes

Swimwear
  • Jessie and James both wore two-piece bikinis in Beauty and the Beach. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
  • Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in A Staravia is Born!. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
