Each trim is only an aesthetic change with no effect on gameplay, but knowing the specifics around each form is essential if you’re a collector who wants to add these to your Pokedex.

Here’s the full list of Furfrou forms in Pokémon Go, along with exactly how to change yours to a different trim.

Outside of its base 'Natural Form', there are currently nine Furfrou ‘trim’ forms available in Pokémon Go, but the majority of them are region-exclusive, meaning you’ll have to trade or travel to other countries to get them all; each Furfrou form and its availability are as follows:

  • Dandy and Matron Trims — available worldwide
  • Debutante Trim — available in Americas & Greenland
  • Diamond Trim — available only in Europe (includes UK), Middle East & Africa
  • Heart Trim — available during select Valentine’s Day events
  • Kabuki Trim — available in Japan
  • La Reine Trim — available in France
  • Pharaoh Trim — available in Egypt
  • Star Trim — available in Asia-Pacific region

Whilst you can indeed seek a trade with a Pokemon Go player whose managed to get a Furfrou form in a different region, the Heart Trim is undoubtedly the most difficult, as it’s been only made available either during the 2022 Valentine’s Day event, or 2024’s Carnival of Love event, which took place between the 13th and 15th of February that year.

Whether Heart Trim Furfrou will be available around Valentine’s Day 2026 remains to be seen, but be sure to get as many as you can if it does, so you can trade with friends if need be.
