As usual, images from the Japanese magazine Corocoro have been leaked before its street date.  The latest issue contains further details about this summer's movie event Pokémon distribution.  As was announced earlier, the event Pokémon being distributed to those who pre-purchase movie tickets are level 50 color-variant ("shiny") versions of the legendary trio from Johto.  Corocoro has provided further details on these three:

Entei will be holding a Cutsap Berry and knows the moves Flare Blitz, Crush Claw, Howl, and Extremespeed.

Suicune will be holding a Rowap Berry and knows the moves Sheer Cold, Aqua Ring, Air Slash, and Extremespeed.

Raikou will be holding a Micle Berry and knows the moves Zap Cannon, Weather Ball, Aura Sphere, and Extremespeed.

As usual with events, all three will be in a Cherish Ball.  Tickets will be available for purchase from April 17th until July 9th and the Pokémon can be picked up anytime between June 18th and August 31st.  Ticket holder are able to choose between the three Pokémon, and the official website states that those with multiple tickets can receive additional Pokémon for each additional ticket.  It is unknown at this time if the same Pokémon will be able to be received by the same cartridge.  The official website also suggests that these Pokémon contain some other secret which will be released later, perhaps an in-game effect in HeartGold/SoulSilver or the upcoming Black and White versions.

The magazine also confirms that the main event Pokémon being distributed at the movie will be Celebi.  This marks the first time Celebi will be released during the DS Generation of the Pokémon series.  This Celebi will be in a Cherish Ball at level 50, holding a Jacoba Berry, and will know the moves Nasty Plot, Leaf Storm, Recover, and Healing Wish.  Celebi can be received at movie theaters from July 10th to September 30th.  This Celebi will activate the time-traveling event at the Ilex Shrine in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

All four events can be received by Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

Not a fan of stats moves. So Celebis moves will probably change for me. However, when this hits U.S. side I will be "SO HAPPY!" (+1 if you know where that's from) because I will FINALLy, for the first time since its debut in like 2000, be able to get the little time traveler.
Can't remember what the Jacoba berry does. Gonna go look in the berrydex.

EDIT: It counters physical attacks, like the rowap berry. Which is what Arceus got. So is Celebi in this movie gonna be as powerful as Arceus in Jewel of life? (if so SWEEET)

Bolded part is for your interest...

Reckon this will bump Entei into OU? It will out class Arcanine in UU and find a nice niche in OU as the only fire type to know extreme speed :p. Which will still be stronger than Infernape's mach punch after STAB.

I can just see this set killing everything

Entei @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 132 HP/124 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Howl
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed

Howl + ExtremeSpeed Entei anyone?? Welcome back to UU xD

Howl + Extremespeed + Flare Blitz + Stone Edge would make a nice set. It won't hit Smogon's OU tier though... and people should just forget about tiers and just care that it is actually usable to some extent. Although I admit that a legendary Pokemon being NU is RIDICULOUS (I'm also staring at poor Articuno here...) Now I am waiting for Gamefreak to get it through their heads and allow TM26 on Entei (like that will ever happen, but who knows?). It seems those Smogonites think Raikou will hit OU (at least that shiny one) due to Aura Sphere. I still don't understand how Raikou of all things got a very exclusive move, but I will never know... hopefully this is a precursor to letting us know that Generation V will allow these Pokemon to learn these moves naturally (I'm hoping to see a major improvement in Entei). Perhaps Morning Sun or something to let it abuse its durability to some extent (I'm just disappointed at Crush Claw which CAN be practical but it's not what I expected).

I mean... ugh, if I want to run those sets, I HAVE to play a SHINY ENTEI of all things... the normal one looks a LOT better to me >:/

Oh yeah, and don't forget. These Pokemon are NATURE LOCKED since they are shiny... so don't get your hopes up. Remember that Eruption Heatran turned out to be... QUIET nature? :( Also their IVs will not be perfect or anything, so I don't know if Shoddy can implement that as "legal" or not.

Finally a NDS event Celebi! It is almost impossible to have a good Celebi for competitive battles.

I think Raikous moveset may be an apology. Remeber movies 3 and 4? Featuring solely Entei(with Charizards return) and Celebi(who was saved by Suicune)? They never really gave Raikou his own special movie, so I'm betting he will be more powerful/frequent in this one, and his nice boost in games is an apology for waiting like ten years to give him a theater spot.

Raikou got that special series in the anime if I remember rightly.. it had jimmy and his typhlosion, team magma or galactic or someone was trying to steal raikou. Still, good point though

It was Team Rocket... and I doubt it's an apology (if anything Entei is a quasi-apology for its lack of prowess for a legendary). Gamefreak always had something for the electric Pokemon from the trios... i just don't know why. Probably because they love Pikachu so much? Mhh...

I'm sort of new to this even pokemon thing. I had a few questions, hopefully you can answer them for me. Will this be released in America? Because these legindaries seem really cool and I would like them. Also are they talking about it being released in a movie theaters all around the country or just one specific?

Like past events, this one may be released in other countries too once the movie comes out...
