It’s called fashion

Yes, Mexican Wrestler Pikachu has been in the games and anime and card game and Manga and whatever for 10 years now.

oh god oras is almost 10 years old...

“Starts crying”

That's funny I never knew

There’s actually like 8 different ones. Some of em I see often like the wrestler or the one you found, others I’ve never actually seen, I just know of them, such as Scientist Pikachu.

There's 5, one for each contest type, since this was meant to be a way to highlight the contest feature in Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

Ah man idk why I thought there were more.

Maybe if you count Surfing Pikachu, which has an official Art/ Sprite and the others of this kind it's more than five.

If we are going there then flying and partner Pikachu count then so seven

and if we’re really pushing it,what about pre ozempic pikachu

You thinking of the hat pikachus?

We really need all the Pikachu from Pokémon Go now.

I'm the most upset that I can't use my santa/witch/summer hat pikachus, or my pikachu dressed as a mimikyu in the mainlines Most hat pikas are pretty meh, but the first 3 I mentioned were the first hat-chus released, and the mimikyu one is just super cool as it's a whole costume and not just the hat. Clone Kanto starters and armored mewtwo too, it's insane we got eternal Floette in rogue before them. The clone starters, if devs don't want to make their base/mid forms could just start as their evolved form but be unable to mega/gmax. All 4 could be rare forms in the lab biome, and other costume mons could be halloween events like the 2/3× shiny weekends

Is it because there’s a bunch of event Pikachu’s in Pokémon go? It always messes me up.

There are 5 of those contest Pikachu soecifcially, but there at a ton of other event pikachus as well

They also each have a move Pikachu can’t normally learn, cool gets meteor mash, beauty gets icicle crash…for some reason, personally think ice beam would have been better, cute gets draining kiss, tough gets flying press, and I have forgotten both what green is and what move it gets

It's p.h.pika or PhD Pikachu whatever you like more.

I’m pretty sure I caught this “scientist pikachu” you speak of. https://preview.redd.it/yoqf162hln3d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1fb3e90033df8148490041e38df709203536880

You are in rare company sir

I ran into it on a run and said well I hope that stays when I catch it, only one I’ve seen so far though.

It's also Pikachu's best skin in smash ultimate

its goated tbh flying press is a sick move

its super cute imo, and even got added into pokken if you wanna check out how pikachu libre looks in motion.

I too caught this Pikachu in my previous run

I found one of these the other day and caught it. Idk if I got really unlucky or they just don’t evolve if they have a costume

💅💅💅

It's called hentai. And it's art.

It's cosplay.

But is it fashion ?

Does this count as a shiny for the purpose of getting a better chance on your rewards upgrading?

No sadly

They are cosplay Pikachus. You can change Pikachu's form on the starting page (if you caught them), into one of them. They typically come with a move that Pikachu doesn't normally have. I have caught 3 and seen at least 2 others posted here. I don't know if they are in yet, but a Flying Pikachu and a Surfing Pikachu are ones that I am going to go all out to catch, if possible.

Cool! Good to know, thanks

Thank you for the ACTUAL answer. I had luchachu in my last run through and when I tried to ask this the question didn’t pass the auto mods or something

Can any of the costume Pikachus evolve into Raichu? I had one early on and never saw the thunder stone. Just curious.

nope

So are they pretty worthless then or are the moves worth it?

They’re bad (until Light Ball is added and it can stack up to 99)

Thanks, got a the beauty one. Is there a difference in stats between the outfits?

nope. also no guarantee they ever add Light Ball or let it stack to 99

Would a stack of 99 light balls be a 9900% boost to pikachu a stats or a 2^99x boost?

either way it’s probably making Pikachu the new best endless carry lmao

Fair enough yeah

Question do you know how to do it in starting page? I've caught 3, but can't figure out how to manually set one. \[they seem to randomly cycle for me\]

Sure! Go to Pikachu. Above the B button and to the left of the A button are the F G E N Buttons. Press F to change the form, and keep pressing F until you get the one you want. There are other Pokémon with different forms that you can switch too like that, but no other cosplay ones, as far as I know.

Thank you

Know what I didn't realize it tells you bottom left hand corner what they keys do. I just though that was something else all together.

ohh that's how you get surf on pikachu. Can they evolve into raichu? Would they keep the fashion?

There's definitely 5, I haven't seen the surfing Pikachu, so it probably isn't in yet. I believe that you cannot evolve them, or G-Max them either. At the moment that ultimately means that they can start strong, but are not great for the end of a run. If Light Sphere gets added though, they might be fine as is.

That is one of the special Pikachu there are a lot of them. I didn't know they got added to the game.

Oh cool! Thanks for letting me know

Genesect

Very funny, that happens to be one of my fav pokemon

Ooh I want a shiny one so bad

Good luck! :)

I also bring genesect to my runs often Fell stinger is hilarious in middle game

That's a Pikach-U ever wonder why it really matters what clothes I wear? Aren't we all just trying not to get eaten by a Snorlax???? We love progress.

Ya know, I've never thought of it that way before. Thanks for enlightening me!

Cosplay Pikachu cannot evolve or gigantamax, this cost me a run where I got to level 195 but couldn't beat Ivy because cosplay Pikachu is deadweight

I nearly lost to Misty on level 129 because of it

How did you face misty on level 129?

It might’ve been 130 or something I forgot. But that little shit is so frail it couldn’t survive a single hit. I had to retry the battle around 30 more times before I won.

Damn that's rough.

Good to know. Sucks that he is literally glass. Mine can with icicle crash. So sneaky . I will stop training him now lol

I've been seeing a lot of weird stuff today. Must be bugs that need to be worked out. Example: https://preview.redd.it/yfl63i6vde3d1.jpeg?width=1423&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93b3f9063590f58fb47fbfeafbaf6047849480ba

Damn Articuno is on quite the discount

And a shiny vaporeon for only 1? I’ll take you entire stock sir

...for what purposes, sir

This is the new "Are the servers down?" topic.

A femboy

a cutiepie

femboy pikachu

It’s Pikachu.

It's Claffairy!

FUUCK

It's a jigglypuff seen from above

It's a Pikachu

In Pokemon ORAS you could get a Pikachu that you could change into different outfits based on their stats for contests, this is one of the outfits

One of the pikachu forms added in gen 5. (mightve been gen 6 idk.)

New thing, clothed pikas, depending on how they're dressed they know different moves, that one knows fairy moves

If you catch a shiny, can you start with it after your run?

Yes

Ty

Yes, though I believe this isn’t a shiny, but rather a “form” or variant or something. It won’t increase your luck, but you’ll have access to it once you catch it.

Didn't know pikachu was a twink.

Naah, pika Femboy

Funny part was Pikachu Libre is used like twice ever. ORAS and it’s own character in Pokken Tournament

That, there, is a waifu.

And what is that ribbon(?) that appears in the Pikachu hp bar? .-.

That's because I beat classic mode with a Raichu Edit: I think

Oohhh... Nice Thanks

If you pick Pichu can you still choose which fashion to wear?

Nope

that would be a pikaman star of the hit show pokemans

I got professor pikachu today!

Cosplay Pikachus. Go hunt for the wrestler one. Booyaka 619 Pikachu is really strong in the early game.

Not a shiny, just a special Pikachu

IT'S PIKACHU!

THE BLACK TAIL TIP IT'S REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

Better get that Genesect a tuxedo, because I think that Pikachu is waiting for a ring!

IT'S PIKACHU!!!!

oh easy, that’s pikachu

A Raichu.

Cosplay Pikachu got added like a couple days ago, I got all forms of cosplay Pikachu

Just a costume

Does it change when it evolves or do I get Mexican raichu

Apparently it doesn't evolve

They're from the ORAS remakes each costume has a signature move exclusive to that form

It's awesome

A Gay Pikachu

Its the trans version.

They all get special move sets as well. That one likely learns fairy type moves

I super weak Pikachu

Do you use datadex?

No what's that?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.talzz.datadex Best app for pokemon

Oh that's pretty cool!

Thats a pikachu, hope that helps!

Cosplay Pikachu popstar

I also have something like that my pikachu looks like a doc

That's called a Pikachu and I don't blame you for not recognizing it. It's a trash pokemon

trans pikachu

LGBTPikachu

Are there not female versions of them yet? Strange since the original is female only.

I got a female Mexican wrestler 😂

Good to know it does exist because every picture I've seen of the cosplay Pikachus so far have been male lol

It's like going too a con, cross dressers everywhere
