The first giveaway is a Pikachu wearing Ash's hat. Pikachu is the icon of the popular franchise and Ash's inseparable friend. During the celebration, trainers can catch "Ash Hat Pikachu" starting July 6 to July 13. This special Pikachu is super rare due to the fact that even in its evolved form of Raichu, they still retain the hat on.
