In X and Y, the choices are dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes; fair skin, honey hair, and gray eyes; or pale skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, the choices are pale skin, blond hair, and blue eyes; fair skin, black hair, and black eyes; dark skin, brown hair, and brown eyes; or darker skin, black hair, and brown eyes. In Sword and Shield, the choices are fair skin, brown hair, and brown eyes; pale skin, blond hair, and blue eyes; darker skin, black hair, and gray eyes; or tanned skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the choices are fair skin, blue hair, and gray eyes; tanned skin, brown hair and brown eyes; pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes; or darker skin, black hair and brown eyes. Trainers will start the game with the default outfits worn by the protagonists in their official artwork. A second default outfit is included for both genders.
The player may customize their hair color, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, and contact lenses in salons and fitting rooms throughout Kalos, Alola, and Galar. Customized trainers will appear in the overworld, on the Player Search System, in Festival Plaza, and on the Pokémon Global Link.

Boutiques and apparel shops
In Pokémon X and Y, clothing is sold at boutiques. Each boutique in Kalos has a unique selection of clothing and accessories based on the "essence" of its surrounding city. Players may browse through the boutique's selection before entering a fitting room and activating the Trainer customization screen. Alternatively, the player can purchase an item or accessory immediately by walking up to the displayed items (if there are any) in the shop and pressing "A". The item and accessory price will pop up, along with a close-up of the merchandise, and the player can select to purchase it without trying it on. The Trainer customization screen has separate menus for hats, tops, bottoms, dresses, socks, shoes, bags, and hat accessories.
In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, fashion items are sold at apparel shops. Each apparel shop in Alola has a unique selection of fashion items. Players can browse the shop's selection by talking to the attendant. Upon exiting the menu, the player will be prompted to put on any purchased items. To put on any obtained items, the player can also use the fitting room located in each apparel shop. The Trainer customization screen has separate menus for tops, bottoms, socks, shoes, bags, hats, eyewear, and hair accessories.
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, clothing is sold in Boutiques. In addition, there are Uniform Shops in most stadiums, as well as Motostoke, where players can purchase sets of Pokémon type-themed clothing. Players can browse and purchase items by talking to the NPC behind the counter. After purchasing any item, the player will be asked if they'd like to put it on now. Players can also change clothing by using fitting rooms located in each Boutique. The Trainer customization screen has separate menus for tops, overwear, bottoms, dresses, socks, shoes, bags, hats, glasses, gloves, and uniforms. Any part of a uniform can be worn separately if desired.
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, clothing can be purchased from the Metronome Style Shop in Veilstone City, which was a game corner in Generation IV. The player can choose from a range of pre-picked outfits, but cannot wear each part of them separately: e.g. wearing the coat of the Winter Style with the pants of the Leather Jacket Style.
