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.

    Technically, it was to promote the 2019 Remake of the first movie ;)
