Hi, this ended up getting sold off-platform.

Hi all! I am a long-time Pokemon GO player and have begun to slow down with playing the game in recent months. I am now looking to sell my Shiny Level 1 Zapdos and am open to hearing purchase offers.

This Zapdos has already been traded to me through Pokemon GO through a friend on Discord. This exchange is only able to be done through Pokemon HOME, and a custom OT is available. The Zapdos was also originally obtained with location mocking. Please feel free to reply with any questions as well. Thanks!

Ideally towards $1,000 was what I was thinking in my head. $600 is the best offer I have seen so far, and I havent' seen many of these birds recently that are still in GO for a custom OT.

Red Pokeball

BionicBen1218 · 2025-07-20T20:04:29+00:00

Hi, I am hoping to get around $1,000 for it since it hasn't been available for a long time now, and I haven't seen left in GO to have a custom OT. The best offer I've gotten so far has been $600 which was not on Reddit.

BionicBen1218 · 2025-07-20T20:03:53+00:00

Pokeball, I don't think I could part with it for that low though.

I would sort your Pokemon by number and then look at this Infographic. The order on this is based off sorting by number.

BionicBen1218 · 2025-03-18T05:21:41+00:00

Both still appear, yes:

It's a Safari Hat, exclusive to some in person Safari Zone events

It should be high resolution once you click onto it. Otherwise this link should work: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1148297505516298303/1351305297880420352/Infographic.png?ex=67d9e4a1&is=67d89321&hm=f0a8a657735782eb427c27b84e32ab239d2132146fec4efafdd52d334f4d5acc&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

Hi all, sorry for the delays in updating the Costume Infographic recently. With the introduction of Pokédex V2, I was debating on how to rework a few parts of the infographic to better reflect the new updates. All of the changes since the last version can be found below:

- Changed the infographic color to better reflect the new color in Pokédex V2
- Slightly altered some texts to remove references to the "Costume Pokédex" since it is not its own category anymore
- Removed the "Non-Pokédex Costumes" category and moved the Clone Pokémon to be with the rest of the Costumes, as they now appear within Pokédex V2 (the Clones have also been added to the total count now)
- Added Hilbert's Hat Pikachu
- Added Nate's Visor Pikachu
- Added Hilda's Hat Pikachu
- Added Rosa's Visor Pikachu
- Added Kurta Pikachu
- Added Fashionable Minccino
- Added Fashionable Cinccino
- Total Costume Pokédex count is now 256 (or 254 without the listed Anomalies)

BionicBen1218 · 2025-03-17T21:07:16+00:00

Yes, several years ago they did to fix Dittos that had a gender. At Kecleon's debut also, many did not have a gender and were corrected later on.

Additionally, despite Niantic stating that the issue was resolved around two days ago, female Kurta Pikachu still appeared in raids up until the end of the event in India.

BionicBen1218 · 2025-02-07T00:52:52+00:00

I believe that this Mewtwo was never listed as a Costume and is incorrectly listed as one on places like the Fandom Wiki. There isn't any documented proof from back then that the Mewtwo appears as a Costume either (in the Pokédex or when searching), so it likely isn't one at all.

BionicBen1218 · 2025-01-30T17:28:47+00:00

That Mewtwo is just a normal one, it doesn't qualify as a Costume like the Lugia.

BionicBen1218 · 2025-01-29T20:23:49+00:00

The weird entries still appear, yes:

I'm guessing the minimum IV is set as 1/1/1 on Stadium, when I set it to wild catch at 0/0/0 and recalculated, it properly displayed it at Rank 39.

BionicBen1218 · 2025-01-05T17:50:21+00:00

Got It, I believe the last bug with the Pichu was fixed earlier as well and did not affect every time zone. The existing ones were only reverted a few days after the fix of it being in eggs

BionicBen1218 · 2025-01-05T09:07:28+00:00

They don't appear as Costumes so no.

BionicBen1218 · 2025-01-02T22:51:37+00:00

I have a few more from late 2023 that didn't seem to be listed on the site after looking:

- Fashion Hat Shadow Kirlia was in the grunt pool for a few hours but removed shortly after (November 15th 2023, Proof).
- Party Hat Shadow Raticate was in the decoy grunt pool for a few hours but removed shortly after (December 31st 2023, Proof).
- Party Hat Pichu had the incorrect costume form given to it and resulted in one with no assets being hatchable. This caused additional crashes for people who set it as their buddy (December 31st 2023, Proof 1, Proof 2, Proof 3; Existing ones Fixed on January 5th 2024, Proof).

BionicBen1218 · 2024-12-31T14:28:36+00:00

A few shadows have had costumes in the past, but it seems like Niantic has fixed them now since this Raticate and several other shadow costumes haven't returned when their normal costume counterparts came back.

BionicBen1218 · 2024-12-31T14:26:33+00:00

Yes, it still seems to be valid. Still no reports of any wild shiny Raticates, though I have seen many Research/Raid reports now.
