~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.

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

The nearest Toys R Us is about two hours away.
