Trainers,
the Pokémon Day celebration event is live and you now have the opportunity to catch a special party version of Pikachu. The special version has no special moves or stats, as it’s only a “costume variant” wearing a birthday party hat. The event lasts until 13:00 PST time on March 6!
Surprisingly, Raichu that evolves from a Party Pikachu, continues to wear the party hat. Wild Raichu encounters don’t have the party hat, so it’s only possible to get a Party Raichu by evolving a Party Pikachu.
There is a number of events taking place in the worldwide Pokémon community, both online and offline, and we’re highlighting a few here that we’ll be enjoying today:
- Head to Twitch.tv/Pokemon for an all-day celebration of Pokémon competitions, showing many of the most memorable matches from the Pokémon TCG, video games, and Pokkén Tournament from the past several years. See your favorite players from around the globe as we broadcast epic Championship battles, including some from recent Pokémon World Championships.
-
Starting on Pokémon Day, revisit some of the best big-screen moments of Ash and his friends with a movie marathon on Pokémon TV. For a limited time, watch the original classic Pokémon: The First Movie, as well as Pokémon 4Ever and Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions in their entirety. Remember that you can watch Pokémon TV on Pokemon.com and on the Pokémon TV mobile apps.
Enjoy!
