A new distribution event is now live for Pokemon fans, this time for the Third Generation legendaries Groudon and Kyogre. This distribution is forPokemon Sun, Pokemon Moon, Pokemon Ultra Sun,andPokemon Ultra Moon, and runs until August 26 through local GameStop stores.
Players can redeem the codes given by GameStop by opening up any version ofPokemon SunandMoonand heading to the Mystery Gift option. Once there, players will want to click Receive Gift and Get with Code/Password. From there, players will be prompted to connect to the Internet and redeem their code. Once players have successfully entered their code, the legendary elemental Pokemon will be waiting for players to pick up and take into battle while waiting for the next installment in the Pokemon franchise.
This event is part of theYear of Legendary Pokemon event, where the games are giving out a set of legendary Pokemon every month throughout 2018. Last month’s giveaway was Tornadus and Thundurus, two-thirds of the Forces of Nature trio fromPokemon BlackandWhite. September’s giveaway is the iconic duo Latios and Latias fromPokemon Ruby, Sapphire,andEmerald.October will feature Zekrom and Reshiram fromPokemon BlackandWhite, and November will feature Ho-Oh and Lugia fromPokemon GoldandSilver.
Groudon and Kyogre are part of the legendary weather trio from the third generation of Pokemon. While players will not be able to encounter Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza inPokemon Let’s Go PikachuandEeve e, there are still several fun legendaries from the first generation to findacross the Kanto region.
It’s great to see The Pokemon Company still supporting the core Pokemon RPGs, even after the release ofUltra SunandUltra Moon. While hardcorePokemonplayers will be waiting a while foranother core RPG installment on Switch, at least they’ll have some help from The Pokemon Company for rounding out their Pokedex in the meantime.
Pokemon Sun and Moonare available now for Nintendo 3DS.
