Why do Pokemon sometimes have dark stripes in Pokemon Go?
Posted On: February 5, 2023

Occasionally I'll face a Charizard or Venusaur in GBL that has dark striping like this:.


How do they get those markings, or what is the significance of them?


Question from user Lysander at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

These are clone Pokémon, which were available in 4-star raids during Pokémon Day 2020. They are just cosmetic variants of Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Pikachu.


The evolved clone starters came with their respective Community Day charge move, so you can expect them to have it even at low MMR.
