Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker: Track Every Pichu
The Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker lets you record every costumed Pichu in your collection, including both normal and shiny versions. Tick off each form you own, search for individual costumes and monitor your overall collection progress in one place.
Costume Pichu are among the most difficult event Pokémon to collect in Pokémon GO. Unlike Pikachu, Pichu is normally obtained from Eggs, meaning players cannot simply search wild encounters or complete raids until the correct version appears.
Some costume Pichu have only been available during short events, while others have not returned for years. Use the complete Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker below to see which versions you already own and which ones are still missing.

How to Use the Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker
Using the Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker is simple. Find each costume in the collection and select the appropriate option whenever you own that version.
Normal and shiny Pichu are tracked separately. This means you can mark a standard costume as collected without accidentally completing its much rarer shiny version.
Your tracker progress is saved in your browser, allowing you to leave the page and return later without losing your collection.
You can also use the search and filter options to:
- Find a particular costume Pichu
- Display only missing Pokémon
- View collected normal forms
- View collected shiny forms
- Check your total collection progress
- Export or import your saved collection
- Reset the tracker when needed

Every Costume Pichu in Pokémon GO
Pichu has received a selection of event costumes throughout Pokémon GO’s history. Many of these match older Pikachu and Raichu costumes, although the three Pokémon do not always receive every design in the same family.
Costume Pichu are generally linked to seasonal celebrations, anniversaries and limited-time Pokémon events. Their availability is often much narrower than costume Pikachu because Pichu must normally be hatched rather than caught.
The Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker gathers all available forms together so you do not need to compare your Pokémon storage against several separate event lists.
Each tracker card allows you to record the regular form and shiny form independently, providing a much clearer picture of your complete Pichu collection.
How to Get Costume Pichu in Pokémon GO
Costume Pichu are usually obtained by hatching Eggs during events in which that particular costume is available.
The required Egg distance can vary between events. Costume Pichu may appear in:
- 2 km Eggs
- 5 km Eggs
- 7 km Eggs
- Event-specific Eggs
- Eggs collected from Gifts
Only Eggs obtained during the relevant event period usually contain the featured costume Pokémon. An older Egg collected before the event began will normally retain its original hatch pool, even when it is placed inside an Incubator later.
For the best chance of hatching costume Pichu, clear space in your Egg storage before an event starts and check the displayed Egg pool before collecting replacements.
You can view the potential contents of an Egg by selecting it in your Pokémon storage. This does not reveal exactly which Pokémon will hatch, but it helps confirm whether the costume Pichu you need is included in the available pool.
Can Costume Pichu Be Shiny?
Many costume Pichu have shiny versions available in Pokémon GO.
Shiny costume Pichu are particularly rare because players must first obtain the correct Egg during a limited event and then successfully hatch the shiny version. There is no way to see whether an Egg contains a shiny Pokémon before it hatches.
The Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker therefore includes separate normal and shiny options for every supported costume. Players who only own the regular version can keep the shiny form visible on their missing list.
A shiny Pichu will retain its shininess if evolved into Pikachu and then Raichu, provided that particular costume supports evolution.
Can Every Costume Pichu Evolve?
Not every costume Pokémon in Pokémon GO can evolve, although many older costume Pichu can become matching costume Pikachu and Raichu.
To check whether a costume Pichu can evolve:
- Open the Pichu in your Pokémon storage.
- Scroll to the evolution section.
- Check whether an Evolve button is displayed.
- Inspect the evolution preview.
- Confirm that the preview shows the expected costume Pikachu.
Never assume a costume can evolve purely because a matching Pikachu exists. Pokémon GO handles individual costume forms separately, and evolution may be disabled for certain releases.
You will need 25 Pikachu Candy to evolve Pichu into Pikachu. Evolving Pikachu into Raichu requires a further 50 Pikachu Candy.
Should You Evolve a Rare Costume Pichu?
Think carefully before evolving an older or shiny costume Pichu.
Pichu can only normally be obtained from Eggs, while costume Pikachu are often available through wild encounters, research tasks or raids. This can make the unevolved Pichu significantly harder to replace.
Before evolving, consider:
- Whether you already own another copy
- Whether the costume has returned recently
- Whether the Pichu is shiny
- Whether you need the evolution for your collection
- Whether another player may want it in a trade
A rare costume Pichu may have greater collection value in its original form than as a Pikachu or Raichu.
Using separate Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu costume trackers makes it easier to see which stage of the evolutionary family you are missing before committing to an evolution.
Can Costume Pichu Be Traded?
Costume Pichu can be traded with another Pokémon GO player.
Trading can be one of the best ways to obtain old costumes that are no longer available from Eggs. However, the Stardust cost may be higher when the costume or shiny form is not already registered in your Pokédex.
A trade may count as a Special Trade when it involves:
- A shiny Pokémon
- A costume form you have not registered
- A Pokémon not already in your Pokédex
- Certain other special Pokémon categories
Special Trades are limited, so arrange the trade carefully before meeting another player.
Remember that traded Pokémon cannot be traded again. Once a costume Pichu has been received through a trade, it is permanently attached to the new account.
Why Costume Pichu Are So Difficult to Collect
Costume Pichu are often harder to complete than costume Pikachu or Raichu because they rely heavily on Egg hatches.
Players must collect the correct Egg during a specific event, place it into an Incubator and walk the required distance without knowing which Pokémon it contains. Even after completing that process, the Egg may hatch another species from the same event pool.
Shiny collectors face an additional layer of rarity. They need the right costume, the correct Egg and a shiny hatch, all during a limited availability window.
This means a player can participate throughout an entire event and still finish without the costume Pichu they wanted. Once the event ends, trading may be the only way to obtain it until the costume returns.
What Is the Rarest Costume Pichu?
The rarest costume Pichu will depend on when you started playing, which events you participated in and whether you are collecting shiny forms.
Older costumes that appeared in Eggs for only a short period are generally harder to replace. Shiny versions are usually even more valuable because they combine limited event availability with the chance of a shiny hatch.
Regional events, ticketed events and costumes that have not returned for several years may also be difficult to find through trades.
Rather than relying on a single rarity ranking, use the Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker to identify the exact gaps in your own collection. You can then focus your trades and event preparation on the forms you genuinely need.
Do Costume Pichu Count Separately in the Pokédex?
Costume Pichu do not receive individual numbered Pokédex entries. They remain alternative forms of Pichu rather than completely separate species.
However, costume forms may still appear within the Pokédex form display after they have been registered. Shiny and costume information can also be recorded separately within Pokémon GO’s collection systems.
Dedicated trackers remain useful because the in-game Pokédex does not always provide a simple checklist showing every normal and shiny costume version you own.
How to Prepare for a Costume Pichu Event
Preparing before an event can improve your chances of hatching a featured costume Pichu.
Try to:
- Clear unwanted Eggs before the event begins
- Leave space in your Egg storage
- Save Incubators for the event period
- Open Gifts only after the event starts when 7 km Eggs are involved
- Check the current Egg pool before collecting more Eggs
- Prioritise reduced hatch-distance bonuses when available
- Keep enough Pokémon storage space for your hatches
Remember that spinning a PokéStop or opening a Gift while an Egg slot is available may immediately give you a new Egg. Check the event start time before collecting one if you are trying to obtain a particular Pichu.
Complete Your Costume Pichu Collection
Completing the full costume Pichu collection can take years. Some forms return during recurring seasonal events, while others may remain unavailable for long periods.
The limited availability of Egg-exclusive Pokémon makes it especially important to keep an accurate record of the costumes you already own. Without a tracker, it is easy to forget whether you have a particular normal form, shiny version or matching evolution.
Bookmark this page and update the Pokémon GO Pichu Costume Tracker whenever you hatch, evolve or trade for a new version. Your progress will remain saved in the browser and device you are using.
You can also use our Pokémon GO Pikachu Costume Tracker and Pokémon GO Raichu Costume Tracker to record the rest of the costume family and build a complete collection across all three evolutionary stages.
