To catch a costumed Pokémon in Pokémon GO, check the active event’s details and use the encounter route listed for that specific Pokémon. Costumes are event-dependent: a particular one might appear in the wild, in raids, as a Field Research or Timed Research reward, or through a Collection Challenge. There is no permanent route that works for every costume.
Where to check which costumed Pokémon are available
- Open Today View > Events in Pokémon GO. Check the current event information and any Collection Challenge listed there.
- Open the official announcement for the active event. Find the exact costume under headings such as Wild Encounters, Raids, Field Research, Timed Research, or Collection Challenge. Follow the method named for that Pokémon rather than assuming it will spawn in the wild.
- Check the event dates and local-time details. The available encounters can change when an event ends, and an old event roster is not evidence that a costume is obtainable now.
Official event announcements show why checking the individual route matters: the Special Anniversary Pikachu Celebration in July 2026 listed costumed Pikachu in wild encounters, one-star raids, and Field Research, while Fashion Week 2025 used wild encounters, raids, research, and a Collection Challenge. These are examples of past event formats, not a current roster. See the Special Anniversary Pikachu Celebration announcement and Fashion Week 2025 announcement.

How to get a costume through each encounter route
Wild encounters
If the event lists the costume under Wild Encounters, explore while that event is active and look for the Pokémon on the map. Wild availability is not implied merely because another Pokémon in the event appears in the wild.
Raids
If the costume is listed under Raids, look for the specified raid tier and defeat the raid boss to receive an encounter. A wild search will not substitute for a raid-only route.

Field Research
Spin PokéStops to receive Field Research tasks, then check the listed reward before investing time in a task. The event announcement identifies which tasks can award the costumed Pokémon; not every task or reward will do so.
Timed Research
Read the event’s deadline, finish the required steps, and claim the reward before the stated expiration. Timed Research can expire, and an unclaimed reward may be lost after its deadline. For example, the Road to Kalos event announcement specified daily expiration and claim times. That event’s dates have passed; it illustrates the deadline risk, not a way to obtain those costumes now.

Collection Challenges
In Today View > Events, open the Collection Challenge and inspect each Pokémon’s requirement. The challenge indicates whether a target must be caught, hatched, evolved, or traded, so an encounter does not necessarily count if it came from the wrong method. Pokémon GO’s Collection Challenges Help Center guide also cautions that some event Pokémon are only available from research task rewards or Raid Battles.

How to avoid missing a limited-time costume
- Prioritize tasks and rewards with explicit expiration times; note whether the deadline is daily or at the end of the event.
- Claim research rewards before the listed cutoff rather than assuming completed progress will remain available.
- Verify the route and event window in current details before spending time on raids or task hunting.
- If the costume is not listed for an active event, do not assume it is currently obtainable. The official event examples do not establish a predictable schedule for costumes to return.
Event formats vary. The Halloween 2025 Part II announcement, for instance, listed costumed Pokémon in wild encounters and Field Research. Its roster and dates are historical, not a guide to what is available today.

Can costumed Pokémon be shiny?
Only treat a costume as shiny-eligible when the current event announcement says a shiny encounter is possible for that specific Pokémon. “Can be shiny” means a shiny may appear; it does not guarantee one. Check the event details rather than relying on a past event’s shiny note.
