Pokémon Debuts

New costumed Pokémon will appear during this event!

  • Pikachu wearing a hat and capelet*
  • Zubat wearing a top hat*
  • Sinistea wearing a bow*

*If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!

Sinistea’s bow costume exists for both of its forms in the game data (Phony and Antique), so both are shown.

Zubat’s top-hat costume sprite has not been released in the game assets yet, so a regular Zubat sprite is shown for now. We’ll swap it in as soon as it is available.
