! is the name given to the Cosplay Pikachu given to Arty Haze from a Breeder at the Slateport Contest Hall. This variation of a female Pikachu has the ability to adorn five different costumes related to Contest stats and allows her to learn a special move related to each stat (e.g Pikachu Rock Star can learn Meteor Mash).
History[]
! was received from a Breeder at 0 days, 18 hours, and 13 minutes after Arty had participated (and lost) in his first contest. After receiving contest advice from Lisia, Arty was greeted by a Breeder who watched his contest performance. The Breeder then offered to give Arty a Cosplay Pikachu in which he accepted. The Cosplay Pikachu was preset to Pikachu Rock Star to represent the Coolness contest in which Arty was in.
After the release of Scarface, ! carried the team for a short while before being boxed in Mauville City.
