Ash in his Journeys outfit wearing his Z-Power Ring, Dynamax Band, and Mega Glove

Ash Ketchum has worn a variety of outfits and clothing throughout his appearances in Pokémon the Series.

Main outfits

Main series

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

Ash's first outfit is, unlike those of many of his friends, a unique outfit design in its own right, though it is also directly inspired by Red's. 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 also the artwork for the games.

The upper part of the 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 them. 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!. Ash has worn this outfit in the most episodes, wearing it during a total of 273.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

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 Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire 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!. Ash has worn this outfit in more different series than any other, wearing it during three different series.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Ash's 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 two pockets, and having a white Poké Ball design with a red "button".

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 and no scarf. It also bears traits of Red's outfit, mainly the white collar and closed jacket.

Ash wore this outfit from When Pokémon Worlds Collide! to Memories Are Made of Bliss.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Ash's fourth outfit is different from his previous outfit, bearing some similarities to the clothes worn by Hilbert from Pokémon Black and White. The main differences between Ash and Hilbert's respective outfits are the clothing shades, Ash's jacket having a yellow zipper while being nearly all zipped up instead of being partially open nearing the bottom, Ash 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!.

Pokémon the Series: XY

Ash's fifth outfit possessed some similarities to the outfit worn by Calem from Pokémon X and Y, 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 Pokémon the Series: Black & White, and darker blue jeans. The backpack is one pocket, colored green with black straps and a white, slanted Poké Ball design on it, similar to previous generations. The gloves are the same as those from his fourth outfit.

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 wore this outfit from The Dream Continues! to Till We Compete Again!. This is the second outfit that Ash has worn in more than one series, namely two.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Ash's sixth outfit is almost identical to the outfit worn by Elio in Pokémon Sun and Moon, with the coloring of the shirt being inverted and the hat being recolored from black to red, in keeping with the usual color scheme of Ash's headwear. This outfit deviates from Ash's previous styles in many ways; Ash no longer wears jeans, instead of wearing ribbed capri shorts with a red border, he now wears only a T-shirt with no jacket or hoodie over the top, and he no longer wears gloves and socks. His shoes are blue and are modeled after those worn by people to stand in water. His backpack, shorts, and shoes are all identical to Elio's.

Ash wore this outfit from Alola to New Adventure! to Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!. In the same episode, Ash obtained a silver Z-Ring, which was eventually upgraded into a black Z-Power Ring in Revealing the Stuff of Legend!.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Ash's seventh outfit consists of a blue vest with yellow outlines, a white short sleeve undershirt with a red stripe, indigo shorts with black outlines, and black sneakers with blue highlights. His hat is red with a black Poké Ball design in the shape of the letter C. His backpack is green and black with one pocket and a C-shaped Poké Ball design similar to the one on his hat. This is the first outfit since the Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire outfit not to have any similarities with a male player character's outfit.

Ash started wearing this outfit in Enter Pikachu!.

In The Climb to Be the Very Best!, Ash received a Dynamax Band from Leon. Ash also left his Z-Power Ring at home, as revealed in Legend? Go! Friends? Go! until he retrieved it prior to Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!, but did wear his Z-Power Ring throughout his return to Alola in Helping the Hometown Hero!. In An Adventure of Mega Proportions!, Ash received a black with red band around Mega Glove with a Key Stone in the middle from Korrina, which resembles the gloves that he wore in Pokémon the Series: Black & White and Pokémon the Series: XY. Unlike his Z-Ring and Z-Power Ring in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Ash usually only wears these in battle.

In The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!, Ash wore red and black shoes with the green league logo on them given by his mom.

Alternate movie continuity

This section deals with the main outfits worn by the alternate version of Ash who appeared in the twentieth, twenty-first, and twenty-third Pokémon movies.

I Choose You!

Ash's outfit in I Choose You

This outfit from I Choose You!, which retells parts of Ash's journey during the earliest episodes of the original series, is nearly identical to his original outfit, with certain parts of its design slightly altered. His hat now bears a logo similar to the one he has on his Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon hat, except it is colored green and a part of the upper section is missing, which gives it a similar appearance to the old logo.

His jacket was also given a few changes. It is a different shade of blue, it now has pockets that are horizontal rather than diagonal, the white collar is slightly smaller, the gold trim on the bottom is now just a small stripe, and there is now just a single top button instead of the original two. His shirt is black instead of dark cyan or teal and it isn't tucked into his belt, making the belt not visible. Ash's blue jeans now have cuffs that resemble bracelets. His black and white sneakers are less detailed and lack the red dots. The hat's original logo now appears on his backpack, which is two shades of green with one pocket.

Ash also wore this outfit during Distant Blue Sky!.

The Power of Us

Ash's outfit in The Power of Us

In The Power of Us, Ash has another new outfit, this time unlike anything seen in the main series. Besides retaining the same hat that he wore in the previous movie, this outfit consists of a light-blue and white jacket with a large red collar, which in turn has a single yellow line across the center and a similarly-colored trim at the bottom of said jacket. His jacket is kept open to reveal a black shirt, looser-fitting than his previous outfit. The bottom half has him sporting gray capri shorts with a thin white line coming down both sides, and blue sneakers with orange laces. His usual fingerless gloves are black with a blue line across the cuff. His backpack is dark blue and black with a small Poké Ball design on it and one pocket.

Secrets of the Jungle

Ash gains another new outfit in Secrets of the Jungle, which closely resembles his outfit from Pokémon Journeys: The Series. Notable differences include more details on his blue vest, white and blue shoes with yellow accents instead of black, dark gray shorts with yellow accents instead of indigo ones, and a Poké Ball on his shirt instead of a red stripe. He retains his hat from I Choose You! and his gloves from The Power of Us.
