List of clothing (anime)
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. At the start of a new series, characters continuing on will change 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
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike May, Dawn, Iris and Cilan, 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 upper outfit is a medium blue jacket with gold trim and white collar and sleeves, worn open over a dark cyan or teal t-shirt. Ash kept his Kanto, Orange League, and Johto Badges pinned to the inside of the jacket, which from time to time, would be taken off by him, most notably when his Pokémon need warmth. His lower outfit consists of jeans with light blue cuffs, black and white sneakers with red dots on both sides, and a brown belt, which he used to hang his Poké Balls.
Ash also wears green finger-less gloves with light green borders, and of course, his hat. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which he won from a contest from the Pokémon League. Ash would turn his hat backwards when he was concentrating heavily, such as when he would face a Trainer or capture a Pokémon. This was very much the case early in his journey in Kanto, though by the time his journey in Johto ended, he hardly ever turned his cap.
He has a green backpack with a yellow square label and slings with black adjusters on it. The backpack has two pockets and two open compartments on each side. The main, bigger pocket is delimited by a black zip fastener, while the external pocket has an orange stripe on it.
Ash wore this outfit from Pokémon - I Choose You! to Gotta Catch Ya Later!.
Advanced Generation series
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. This outfit was given to Ash as a gift by his mother in Gotta Catch Ya Later!.
Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new jeans and sneakers. In Hoenn Alone! and Get the Show on the Road!, Ash can be seen wearing a T-shirt similar to the original series, but with an orange horizontal stripe. However, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps Badges pinned to the inside. The backpack is green, with one pocket and a red Poké Ball design on it.
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: the new ones take on the style on the former outfits.
The symbol on his hat, backpack, 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 Hoenn Alone! to When Pokémon Worlds Collide!, making this the first outfit he has wore during more than one series, with a total of three.
Diamond & Pearl series
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.
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 jeans, and new sneakers. The gloves are the same as those from his second outfit. The backpack is similar to the one he wore in AG, being green with one pocket, and having a white Poké Ball design with a red "button". It should be noted that this new outfit possessed some similarities to that of Lucas, the male player character from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The primary 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 wore this outfit from When Pokémon Worlds Collide! to Memories Are Made of Bliss.
Best Wishes series
As expected, Ash has received a new outfit for the Best Wishes series. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.
As with his previous outfit, this one displayed some similarities to the outfit worn by Hilbert from Pokémon Black and White, with the main differences being the clothing shades, it having a yellow zipper, the coat being nearly all zipped up instead of being partially open nearing the bottom, it lacking a satchel and the hat, which resembles the one from the original series. Ash's new clothing closely follows the same color scheme he has always had: red, blue, yellow, green, black, and white. In this series Ash's sneakers are high tops, rather than the normal sneakers he wore during the other series. Instead of blue jeans, Ash starts to wear black baggy jeans and wears a hooded jacket just like in AG, colored mostly blue and white along with a yellow zipper. He wears black finger-less gloves but the border is red. The backpack is blue-green, with one pocket, black straps, and a light green, curved stripe on it, resembling a Poké Ball design.
Ash wore this outfit from In The Shadow of Zekrom! to The Dream Continues!.
XY series
Ash's outfit possessed some similarities to the outfit worn by Calem from the games, with some differences. Ash uses a backpack instead of a satchel, like his Best Wishes outfit. The jacket that Calem wears has been shortened into a collared shirt for Ash, and a black undershirt is visible, both worn very much in the same style as Red's Generation III outfit. Ash wears red high top sneakers, similar to those worn in the Best Wishes series, and darker blue jeans. The backpack is one pocket, colored green with a white, slanted Poké Ball design on it, similar to previous generations.
Ash's hat continues to sport the rounded Poké Ball design seen in previous generations, and most notably seems to be directly based on Red's Generation III hat; albeit modified to somewhat resemble characteristics of Calem's hat as well. In general, the outfit heavily borrows characteristics from Red and Calem.
Ash started wearing this outfit in The Dream Continues! when he received it from his mother Delia Ketchum.

Misty
Main outfits
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
Original series
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Most of her midriff is revealed here. She wore red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red drawstring backpack 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, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with pearl ornaments.
Misty wore this outfit from Pokémon - I Choose You! to Gotta Catch Ya Later! (and continuing into the first three of four Pokémon Chronicles episodes she was in).
Advanced Generation series
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short pale and burnt orange ankle 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 with a pink backpack.
Pokémon Chronicles series
In the early episodes of Pokémon Chronicles involving Misty (Cerulean Blues, The Blue Badge of Courage, A Date with Delcatty,), she wears her original series outfit. However, in Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing! (which was broadcast after the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

Brock
Main outfits
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
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.
It is assumed 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. His clothing slightly mirrors that of his game counterpart in Generation III. His shoes are a dark blue, and his new backpack is blue, but has no bedroll.
Brock wore this outfit from A Family That Battles Together Stays Together! to Home is Where the Start Is!. In the main series, it was first seen in Brock's comeback episode You Never Can Taillow.
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. His new shoes and backpack are still blue, and his backpack does not have a bedroll.
Brock started wearing this outfit prior in Two Degrees of Separation!, and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
Side outfits
Formal clothes
- Ash and Brock don party outfits in The March of the Exeggutor Squad. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of maracas with it.
- Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in Go West Young Meowth.
- One of Brock's best known outfits is his "Takeshi's Paradise" outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in The March of the Exeggutor Squad. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large sombrero with it, and his maracas now look like Poké Balls. He wore a similar outfit in The Psyduck Stops Here!
- Brock wears a white tuxedo in Beauty and the Breeder. He is seen in it again in Temacu's wedding fantasy in The Heartbreak of Brock with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
- Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink bow tie.
- Brock wears a purple suit in fantasies in Berry, Berry Interesting and Hail to the Chef. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a tie, and in the second, with a bow tie.
- In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of cape or mantle in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange skullcap.
Weather clothes
Swimwear
- Brock's first swimwear was a pair of light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. From the Advanced Generation series onwards, these trunks were colored dark purple, due to the different palette used in the digitally colored episodes beginning with Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid.
- In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Brock wore a pair of olive green trunks with an orange stripe down the side. These trunks would later become Brock's main swimwear in the Diamond & Pearl series. Brock also wore his new trunks in the hotspring scene in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, but this is only known from the artwork, as in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck was seen above water.
- Like Ash and Dawn, Brock wore a different swimsuit than his normal one in Arceus and the Jewel of Life - in Brock's case, a pair of dark green trunks with white lines on them. Like Ash's and Dawn's new swimwear, Brock's new trunks are quite unique, as he only wore them in that movie.
Snow wear
- Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!.
- Brock wore a jacket similar to Lucas's in Platinum from Battling a Cute Drama! to Pillars of Friendship!, as well as part of the credits of Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
Other clothes

Tracey
Main outfit
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green T-shirt, reddish-brown shorts, blue and yellow sneakers, an orange backpack, and his most notable accessory, a salmon-colored headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face. Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of any of the newer series.
Side outfits
Formal clothes
Weather clothes
Swimwear
- His first swimsuit was a pair of navy-blue swim trunks with two red lines on either side, as seen in The Joy of Pokémon.

- The third was seen in The Blue Badge of Courage. It is 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
Advanced Generation series
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark blue bike shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, a yellow waist-pack, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based on 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 on the outfit that her game counterpart wears in Pokémon Emerald. It consists of a green bandanna, a sleeveless and short orange tunic with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waist-pack 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.
Side outfits
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 top with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach-pink veil with a green gem on top, and a light purple long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here.

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 backpack with all her personal belongings. It is nearly identical to her game counterpart's with the exception of her scarf and bag.
Unlike the female companions proceeding her, whom both changed outfits upon returning in later series, Dawn continued to wear this outfit even throughout her return in the Best Wishes series, and presumably continues to wear it to this day.
Side outfits
Formal clothes
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. In her Chimchar fantasy, she was seen wearing a red dress; and in the Turtwig fantasy she was wearing a lavender suit with a top hat; and in the Piplup fantasy, she was wearing a light green dress.
- 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. In the first round of the Celestic Town Contest, she decorated her dress with fluffy fur, similar to Buneary's. In the Lilypad Town Contest, she again wore her yellow Ribbon with long white gloves.

Jessie, James and Meowth
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 uniform of similar design. However, in Dues and Don'ts, it was revealed that Jessie and James designed their own uniforms to "express their sense of style." Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in Training Daze, where they (along with the other trainees) wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.[citation needed]
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.
Best Wishes series
Jessie and James changed into their black uniforms in the Best Wishes series. They wore these outfits from In the Shadow of Zekrom until Battling For The Love of Bug-Types! when they switched back into their white ones.
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 Jessilina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ Candy Musalina).
Weather clothes
Swimwear

- Jessie, James and Meowth were seen using scuba gears in The Island of Illusions!.
