An incredible 25 Pikachu appear in the parade!!
It is a one-of-a-kind sight, with Pikachu everywhere you look!!

You can enjoy seeing Pikachu with all kinds of expressions!
The sleeping Pikachu was especially adorable.

Because Pikachu is No. 0025 in the Pokédex, it appears that the 25th-anniversary parade includes a special presentation.

For reference, No. 0001 in the Pokédex is Bulbasaur.
Charizard, which appears on the NO LIMIT! Parade float, is No. 0006.

What Happens to the Parade on Rainy Days?

The parade is canceled when it rains.
However, it may still be held in light rain.

The number of Pikachu appearing may be reduced depending on the weather.
In light rain, it is unlikely that all 25 Pikachu will appear.

You may get to see a rare version in which the characters appear wearing raincoats.
Even when the parade goes ahead, the dancers use simplified choreography, so you may not be able to experience 100% of the parade’s appeal,
but it should still be plenty exciting.
