~ACTIVE EVENT~
Ash's Pikachu
Available in Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon
Method: QR

This Pokemon is Ash's Pikachu featured in the film Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You! This event will always be active as it works by scanning the QR code for your region. This Pokemon was intended to be shiny locked, but it is actually possible for it to be shiny due to a bug in how the shiny lock was implemented. The Pokemon does not appear shiny but it will have the red star symbol indicating a shiny.



~ACTIVE EVENT~
Ash's Pikachu
Available in Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon
Method: Serial Code PIKACHUM20

This Pokemon is Ash's Pikachu featured in the film Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You! This Pokemon was intended for distribution in Singapore, but since Singapore does not have a specific region associated with it within the games, it is actually obtainable worldwide and can even be obtained if you have already received the Ash's Pikachu specific for your region. As with the previous entry, this Pokemon may be shiny due to a bug. There is no known end date for this event. To receive the Pokemon, enter the code in the Mystery Gift menu.

~ACTIVE EVENT~
MAGEARNA
Available in Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon
Method: QR

This event will always be active as it works by scanning the QR code for your region. The Pokemon is only available though this method and is shiny locked, meaning as of this writing there is no legitimate way to have a shiny Magearna. Magearna also has an unobtainable form called Original Color. This form resembles a Poke Ball and has never been given out anywhere in the world.

In order to redeem the code, you must first beat the Elite 4 and Champion. After that, you can scan the code using the Rotom Dex's QR code scanner. Then, go to the Antique Shop in Hau'oli City's mall and talk to the person there to receive Magearna.



________________________________________________________________________

This thread is for discussing the special events for the Pokemon video games where you can receive unobtainable Pokemon (Mew, Celebi, etc.), special items (Member Card, Aurora Ticket, etc.), and the like. You can discuss any of the events (past, present, or future) for any of the Pokemon video games. I will keep this first post updated with the current and upcoming events. I will add the events for the main series in the United States as soon as I find out, but I don't always keep tabs on all of the spin-off games' events or the events in other countries. If you know of a present or future event AND can provide evidence that it exists (anything trustworthy, be it a poster in a video game store or a leak from a respected news site), I will add it to this post. I know that sometimes news sites will get leaked info months beforehand, so I will also be keeping a list of likely, but not yet officially confirmed events as well.

Please note that events for specific countries that take place over Wi-Fi can be accessed from anywhere in the world, but only if you have a game from that country. For example, if a Wi-Fi event is being held in Japan, a player in France would be able to access the event if they had a Japanese copy of the game.

Also, it has come to my attention that there are sometimes Pokemon given away at trading card game tournaments. However, I will not be adding those to the list as they are often unannounced AND are only available for an EXTREMELY limited time (often only one day) and only in ONE place. If you wish to learn about these events, visit the website for the trading card game that pertains to your area or attend your local Pokemon League. The only exception to this rule may be if an event is held at the World Championship, in which case I may add it, but only if the event is announced beforehand.

Mhm, the Pichu is nothing too special.

~ACTIVE EVENT~ will now be placed above events that are currently being held.

[Dracoslythe]

fsd that sounds pretty cool.
I guess Pokewalker is a new feature in HG/SS?

[TheGameNinja]

It's sort of like the old Pokemon Pikachu. It's basically a pedometer that comes with the games which you can use, among other things, to level up and even catch Pokemon.

Yeah, it counts.

When traded to HeartGold or SoulSilver, that Arceus gives you the chance to catch a Lv. 1 Palkia, Dialga, or Giratina. You can only pick one. :3

Well, in my mystery event thingy there was an arceus, I figured it was the Azure Flute but when I picked it up it was an Arceus. I'll snap a screen shot later.

I probably hacked it when I had access to my cousin's AR though and forgot about it. xD

Reminder, nearly all currently active events will conclude before the end of May.

[TheGameNinja]

The Yellow Forrest event for HeartGold and SoulSilver, which was taking place in several regions, ends today. I'm lazy, so I went ahead and changed it now because...

The Winner's Path event for HeartGold and SoulSilver will go active in several regions starting tomorrow. Again, since I'm lazy, I went ahead and said that they were active, but please keep in mind that the event ACTUALLY begins tomorrow, May 6th.

[TheGameNinja]

Four of the Japanese events for Ranger: Tracks of Light end today. I doubt anyone here has the game, so I'm going to go ahead and take them off, but if you want them (and why don't you have them, they've been active for months) today is your last day.

Two Japanese events for Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, Shiny Legendary Beasts and Celebi, go active on Tuesday, the 18th.

It's a Wi-Fi event, so you can access it anywhere that has a compatible Wi-Fi signal. I think the only requirements are that you have the Pokedex and have room for the Wonder Card. But, if you don't have room for it, you can just delete an old one.

Japanese Kumasyun even for Black and White is active. It's an odd event. It's not a legendary, it's just a Pokemon that is exceedingly rare outside of Winter and is only being distributed so that everyone has a chance to have one.

[TheGameNinja]

And the Kumasyun event is over, meaning for the first time in awhile there are no active events. But a Victini event is starting soon in Japan for Black and White.

[TheGameNinja]

Update, ahoy!! We're getting the legendary beasts spread out during January and Ash's Pikachu at the end of the month and into February. Be sure to notice how short the individual giveaways for the beasts are. You will need all three in order to activate the Zoroark event in Black and White.

[Dracoslythe]

Holy jeez.  Those dates are like...really short.  @_@

[TheGameNinja]

And we're getting the Celebi event soon, too. I'm almost certain we'll only get one more event before Black and White come out, and that's only if they decide to give out Goon's Scizor.

[Barc]

hey do you have any idea if they are going to give those beasts to the other people that are not in north america  like with the shiny pichu? over wi-fi or something?

[TheGameNinja]

Yes, the legendary beasts and Celebi will be given out over Wi-Fi in Europe. I hope that helps.

[jkid101094]

Damn...I missed Raikou...this is why I hate Mystery Gifts. >.<

[Dracoslythe]

Damn...I missed Raikou...this is why I hate Mystery Gifts. >.<

I have an extra, but you can't trade...

[TheGameNinja]

I got three of them.

They'll probably redo the events over Wi-Fi. They haven't said that they're going to yet, but they have done it for most of the big events in the recent past.

[jkid101094]

One day I'll just grab an AR and activate the damned thing by force. xD

[Dracoslythe]

I would have had three, but I didn't wanna give up my r4 with Diamond on it.  xDD
I hope they do, cause I have friends who missed it.  I'd clone Raikou for them, but IDK how the cloning glitch works in the DS games.

Ahhh, Team Espeon on Crystal, how you've won many a battle...then totally fucked up my cartridge.  xD

[TheGameNinja]

The Ash's Pikachu and Shiny Suicune events have started.

[jkid101094]

The Ash's Pikachu and Shiny Suicune events have started.

Will these be available over wifi? I don't feel like dragging my games back to Gamestop. xD

[TheGameNinja]

Will these be available over wifi? I don't feel like dragging my games back to Gamestop. xD

Nintendo hasn't said that they will, but they might. They have repeated the last few over Wi-Fi, and the posters for the event in GameStop say that it may be repeated over Wi-Fi at a later date, but that doesn't mean that they will for certain.

But I think they probably will. Europe is getting the shiny beast events over Wi-Fi.

[TheGameNinja]

Just read that the Wi-Fi shiny beast events that were set to be for Europe only are now for America and Australia too. And the Raikou one starts today. :3

REMEMBER: you need ALL THREE of THESE SPECIFIC Pokemon, meaning no normal Entei will work, in order to activate the Zoroark event in Black and White.

[Jazz Nova]

Yay!!
I get two shiny Raikou!

Three, if I used Diamond

[Dracoslythe]

Jkid will be happy to hear that.  :3
I think he missed Raikou.  o.o

...Yes, now I can get it on Diamond to have three of each.  x3

[jkid101094]

The Kishin is loose.
Your day just got worse.
Mine got better.

[awesomealberto]

man, i want on wifi those days and never got the shiny dogs....

[TheGameNinja]

Added info about the Celebi event for a ton of places.

[Dracoslythe]

CELEBIII
-lookslookslooks-

[TheGameNinja]

The Celebi event has started activating in certain areas, including America. The Shiny Suicune wi-fi event is happening as well.

[Jazz Nova]

Okay, so I learnt about Celebi the hard way.
I went to Gamestop YESTERDAY.
And was all like "FFFUUU-"
Literally.
My wondrous amount of fail strikes again!


...Damn Celebi event, why couldn't you have started on a day where I CAN get you?
DD:<

[Dracoslythe]

BOOOOM.
Celebi is in-store isn't it?  IDK how I'll get mom to let me go out to town to get it, but I will somehow.  :I

[jkid101094]

BOOOOM.

Celebi is in-store isn't it?  IDK how I'll get mom to let me go out to town to get it, but I will somehow.  :I

Yup, it's in-store. They might do it again over Wi-Fi, though, since they did it with the shiny beasts.

GAMESTOP, HO!!!!!!!!

[Dracoslythe]

Yup, it's in-store. They might do it again over Wi-Fi, though, since they did it with the shiny beasts.

GAMESTOP, HO!!!!!!!!

FUUU-
I had to go out to walmart yesterday, but as fate would have it, I left my DS's at home.  >.<

Oh well, going Skating tomorrow night, so hopefully I can convince Carter to make a detour to GS.  x3

[badgersaur]

sweeeet!

[TheGameNinja]

IMPORTANT! Do NOT move your event shiny beasts or Celebi onto Black or White via the normal transfer method. The events will not activate. In order to activate their events, you must transfer them via the semi-secret Relocator. To activate this transfer method, find the man in Castelia City asks you to tell him a phrase. Respond with this: Everyone Happy Simple Connection. The Relocator will be added to the options on the main menu and you can transfer all event Pokemon at once directly to your Box.

Also, it turns out you only NEED one of the shiny beasts to activate the Zoroark event. But you CAN transfer all three.

Wow the Pokemon games are glitchy. First the Sky Drop Glitch and now this? I would have done it that way. Thankies. :3

[Jazz Nova]

YESS!!
YOU ONLY NEED ONE!
and +1 for the instructions

[TheGameNinja]

i have the actual games of pokemon black & white

Wow. That's so impressive. -_-

[TheGameNinja]

sometimes the real games r better than the emulator version is

Always. The real games are always better.

Anyway, this is off-topic. This thread is for discussion of events related to the Pokemon games, not the games themselves. Further off-topic discussion will be deleted.

[TheGameNinja]

Bump. And stickied because I think it should be.

First real event in a long time, a Zoroark that can use the move Snarl.

[Jazz Nova]

Fuck TRU and their closing all DC locations

[TheGameNinja]

Two new events. First is a Banette, but even though the event is technically active, the password is in the next issue of Nintendo Power, so we won't be able to access it until the magazine comes out... or it leaks online. The second is a Togekiss that you can download during the month of your birthday. As far as I know, that event isn't going to be ending, anytime in the near future anyway.

Oh wow. I can get both next month. O.o

[TheGameNinja]

The Zoroark event's active.

[Jazz Nova]

MOTHERFUCKING TOYS 'R' US

[jkid101094]

hey TGN have u ever used the action reply for pokemon Black & White games so if u get it u can get any event pokemon on the wild pokemon modifier

Pokesavs is better, besides, if feels more like an accomplishment when you get it legitimately.

[TheGameNinja]

I never use things like that. I only get unobtainable Pokemon through events.

Most of the time, events aren't hard to do or far away. They used to be, but most are through stores or Wi-Fi now. I remember driving OUT OF STATE to go to the first Deoxys event for FireRed and LeafGreen. XD

Pokemon Rocks America was cool. :3

And you had to mail your game to Nintendo to get Mew on Red and Blue. O3O

[jkid101094]

well when i couldn't get the pokemon from the events so now i can get them all i want and on my TTDS i can make the pokemon on pearl all shiny pokemon now

Like I said. It's not special if you hack it.

[Jazz Nova]

Most of the time, events aren't hard to do or far away.

Except for the fact that there's no Toys 'R' Us/Gamestop near, and they give away all the good pokemon in stores.
I don't like to AR my pokemon...
I like to make any hacked ones as legit as possible, and bring them in at low levels.

Like I said. It's not special if you hack it.

It's special if you train it up from level 5.

[TheGameNinja]

Action replay isn't better. Its not special if you can get it whenever you want.

That's why its cool. Its an event. You have to put actual effort into getting it. =3=

[Jazz Nova]

AR doesn't let you do what a save editor does.
I got me a speed boost Torchic with custom IV's. At lv.5
I put effort into making it and effort into raising it.

[TheGameNinja]

There were two opportunities to get those, you know. They were each given out for a week at GameStop and then they were each available through Wi-Fi for some time.

[Tanassy]

EB Games are giving out Zoroark here.. Hooray. :l

[Tanassy]

where do u live man

Western Australia.

[Jazz Nova]

Hopefully, ALL those events will be repeated over wi-fi

[jkid101094]

Did anyone get this that can breed for me? I wouldn't go to Toys R Us without taking a shower and I promised myself I wouldn't hack Black.

[TheGameNinja]

I can get you one. It will be a Zorua, of course.

[jkid101094]

I can get you one. It will be a Zorua, of course.

That's what I figured.
Thankies, TGN. :3

[jkid101094]

That's what I figured.
Thankies, TGN. :3

Never mind, TGN. I got my lazy butt up and went. As an "expert breeder" I'm surprised I almost let this one slip. Good thing I have an absent minded mommy.

[TheGameNinja]

I was just about to breed it too. Oh well, its better that you got the event pokemon itself anyway.

[SmashFinale]

this thread is suddenly alive,

[TheGameNinja]

Well, there haven't been any events in awhile.

[jkid101094]

I was just about to breed it too. Oh well, its better that you got the event pokemon itself anyway.

In all honesty I'd still take a Pokemon from you just to say I have one. To me there's nothing like scrolling through your Pokemon and looking at all the different OTs. Especially if you know the people who gave them to you. I like to go "Hey, that's the Charmander GD gave me. And that's the Zoroark I took from Kay so she wouldn't feed it to GTS!"

[TheGameNinja]

We could still trade sometime if you want.

Oh yeah, there's a Mewtwo event going down in Japan, but I'm too lazy to add it to the post right now. I don't think anyone here has a Japanese game anyway.

I know of this, and I want it here. They also better give us the movie events because I want that Golurk. >:C

[TheGameNinja]

Its up to the Nintendo of America if we get the events, not the Japanese side of things. Not saying you shouldn't be irritated that we don't get all the events they get in Japan, just don't blame the wrong people.

The movies have been confirmed to be localized in some American form. I just hope they don't keep the whole revival step going and make you go to the movies to get the events. I personally don't care for the anime too much anymore.

[TheGameNinja]

You could just go to the theater and do a search for the event. They'd probably have it set up as a wireless signal, so you wouldn't even have to go inside. Like a the events they have in stores. I usually don't go inside when they're at Toys R Us. Just park in front of the building.

I figured the signal wouldn't reach that far for some reason. O.o

[TheGameNinja]

I don't think they've ever had events for the games in theaters in America, though. We've only ever had free cards.

[Jazz Nova]

Can you breed me a Zoura with Snarl, TGN?

[TheGameNinja]

Sure.

I've got it ready to trade. Let me know when you're ready, I don't care what you trade me in return.

If anyone else wants one, I can breed some more.

[TheGameNinja]

NPCHARACTER is the password for the Banette.

I've still got that Zorua waiting for you, Jazz. PM me when you want it.

[jkid101094]

The Banette event is active in Europe. I added the codes to the first post, make sure you use the right one.

[TheGameNinja]

New Victini event announced for America.

[Jazz Nova]

New Victini event announced for America.

:DD

[TheGameNinja]

Croagunk event added. Removed the section for Canada because I'm pretty sure they get most events at the same time America does. I'll add it back later if I need to. Also removed the Japan section because I'm 99% sure no one here has a Japanese game and I never update it anyway.

[TheGameNinja]

Victini event's active in several English speaking countries.

Added a little bit of info to the Togekiss event.

Added the Mamoswine Global Link event to North America and Australia. If its also active in Europe, let me know and I'll add it.

[jkid101094]

Boom, GameNinja.

[TheGameNinja]

Looks like... Mewtwo Returns.

[jkid101094]

[TheGameNinja]

I was meaning to add that one. Really wish it wasn't Arceus that got picked. Why not something that's not as common? Like Jirachi.

[jkid101094]

Arceus isn't all that common. But you're right. I was hoping for something different.

[jkid101094]

EVENT: Electro Ball Mewtwo GAMES: Black, White WHERE: Wi-Fi WHEN: February 12th, 2012 to Unspecified DETAILS: This Mewtwo knows the move Electro Ball, which it  cannot normally learn. It also knows Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, and its signature move, Psystrike.

This ends on the 26th of the same month. Not long at all.

[jkid101094]

In the Netherlands, on February 18th, various V&D stores across the regions will be giving away a special download. This download provides a special Level 100 Reshiram or Zekrom for your games. If you have Pokémon Black, you get Zekrom while if you have Pokémon White, you'll get Reshiram. These Pokémon are to be Level 100 which indicates that this is an international occurance of the Movie Event Reshiram & Zekrom that came in July last year in Japan which had the special moves of Mist & Haze respectively. It's currently unknown if these will make it to the rest of Europe or America, but is likely that they will. We'll bring more as it comes

Kay is gonna be trading a certain jkid one way or another. *shot*

[TheGameNinja]

Added the Zekrom and Reshiram events. Zekrom's event is for Black only. Reshiram's event is for White only.

[Jazz Nova]

Haze is an amazing move.

[TheGameNinja]

New Darkrai event's active.

New Darkrai event's active.

Where, and what versions?

ACTIVE EVENT
EVENT: Darkrai GAMES: Black, White WHERE: Wi-Fi WHEN: May 9, 2012 to unspecified DETAILS: Players will receive a Darkrai at Lv. 50. The Pokemon knows the moves Dark Void, Ominous Wind, Faint Attack, and Nightmare. It has the ability Bad Dreams and holds an Enigma Berry.

That's what the first post is for.

[TheGameNinja]

The Darkrai event ends June 10th.

[SuperSonic23]

That's what the first post is for.

I'm sorry! I didn't read the first post! ._.'

[TheGameNinja]

The Darkrai event has ended, but the previous Victini event is back on. If you received this event when it was active previously, you cannot receive it again.

[TheGameNinja]

A Porygon event has been added for Pokemon Black and White in North America and Australia.

[TheGameNinja]

News sites (usually Serebii.net) or Pokemon.com most of the time.

[jkid101094]

[TheGameNinja]

Can't wait til we get that colorful little unicorn.

[SuperSonic23]

Oh shit! THANK YOU NINTENDO!!! I can't wait! xD

[TheGameNinja]

Keldeo is to be given out in the UK as well.

[SuperSonic23]

I finally got Black, so now I need to link my Game Card into my GL account.

[TheGameNinja]

The Keldeo event is active in America.

[jkid101094]

The Keldeo event is active in America.

Kinda late on that note. =P

[TheGameNinja]

is the event still going on

All active events are listed as such in the first post of this thread with the header ~ACTIVE EVENT~

[TheGameNinja]

Added the Genesect event for Black 2 and White 2. Should be active in all English-speaking regions at launch. I don't think the original Black and White will be able to access the event, but I'll check once it's active. Even so, Genesect's in-game event at P2 Lab should still activate on Black and White if traded from Black 2 or White 2.

The only unobtainable left is Meloetta. Which is weird. I don't think they've distributed them out of order before. Meloetta is listed before Genesect in the Pokedex.

I'd like to see some events for the in-game legendaries from older games. I don't want to have to permanently transfer my only Zapdos or whatever over to Gen. V if I don't have to.


The Porygon event ended a few days ago and a Gothorita event has been announced.

[TheGameNinja]

New Keldeo event coming up soon in English countries. I wish they'd give out Meloetta already. That one empty spot in my Pokedex annoys me.

[TheGameNinja]

when does it come out

All active events are listed as such in the first post of this thread with the header ~ACTIVE EVENT~

Same goes for dates. All the information I have that's relevant is there.

[TheGameNinja]

do i have to get it by mystery gift

Yes, that's how all event Pokemon are distributed.

Also, they're finally giving out Meloetta in March. My National Dex will be complete!

[jkid101094]

[TheGameNinja]

The Shiny Giratina event for all Gen V games is now active. This will probably be the last Gen V event.

[NiGHTSfan]

The Shiny Giratina event for all Gen V games is now active. This will probably be the last Gen V event.

[Sonic Dx]

[TheGameNinja]

Hi im new, did u chck S/M version? 

There's only one event running for Sun and Moon right now and that's for Magearna. You can get it by scanning a QR code after you're the Champion. Other than the Munchlax I mean. You can get that one on Mystery Gift over Wi-Fi right now, no code or anything.

USA code


Europe/Australia code


Japan code



This might be the last time an event gets posted here... sad

CONFIRMED EVENTS FOR NORTH AMERICA



CONFIRMED EVENTS FOR EUROPE



CONFIRMED EVENTS FOR AUSTRALIAnopleaseHAJLASAAD,JAKND;L?



________________________________________________________________________

This thread is for discussing the special events for the Pokemon video games where you can receive unobtainable Pokemon (Mew, Celebi, etc.), special items (Member Card, Aurora Ticket, etc.), and the like. You can discuss any of the events (past, present, or future) for any of the Pokemon video games. I will keep this first post updated with the current and upcoming events. I will add the events for the main series in the United States as soon as I find out, but I don't always keep tabs on all of the spin-off games' events or the events in other countries. If you know of a present or future event AND can provide evidence that it exists (anything trustworthy, be it a poster in a video game store or a leak from a respected news site), I will add it to this post. I know that sometimes news sites will get leaked info months beforehand, so I will also be keeping a list of likely, but not yet officially confirmed events as well.

Please note that events for specific countries that take place over Wi-Fi can be accessed from anywhere in the world, but only if you have a game from that country. For example, if a Wi-Fi event is being held in Japan, a player in France would be able to access the event if they had a Japanese copy of the game.

Also, it has come to my attention that there are sometimes Pokemon given away at trading card game tournaments. However, I will not be adding those to the list as they are often unannounced AND are only available for an EXTREMELY limited time (often only one day) and only in ONE place. If you wish to learn about these events, visit the website for the trading card game that pertains to your area or attend your local Pokemon League. The only exception to this rule may be if an event is held at the World Championship, in which case I may add it, but only if the event is announced beforehand.

Dunno if anyone's out there to care but I updated the first post in this thread with all the currently known active and upcoming events.

[SmashFinale]

i guess i should have gotten Ultra Moon

[TheGameNinja]

Added a shiny Poipole event that Japan already got. I already got one of these the hard way by soft resetting for days.
