B2W2 - Ray's Metagross

[Kaphotics]

To be distributed at VGC Nationals (confirmed in Italy thus far); Edit: Now confirmed for Germany.

When you attend the Pokémon VG National Championships, you'll be able to get a powerful Metagross like the one Masters Division player Ray Rizzo used to win the Pokémon World Championships! In addition to having the same move set, this Level 45 Shiny Metagross shares the same Nature, Ability, and Held Item as the one on Ray's championship team. Remember that you do not need to participate on in the tournament to get this shiny Metagross. Just be sure to bring your system from the Nintendo DS family or your Nintendo 3DS system, and your copy of Pokémon Black Version, Pokémon White Version, Pokémon Black Version 2, or Pokémon White Version 2 game. The distribution will begin at noon on Sunday, May 12th.

Moves:

1. Meteor Mash
   
2. Earthquake
   
3. Zen Headbutt
   
4. Protect
   

Adamant @Clear Body #Lum Berry, Shiny.

no

only thing it will have are the moves/item/nature, and the qualities of shininess.

I think it would be pretty funny if Ray Rizzo was to go and obtain one.

It probably will be distributed to English, German, and Italian language games at all locations.

Edit: Also it appears that people represented France and Spain participated in the Italy VGC tournament. So that could mean that Metagross was distributed to French and Spanish games as well.

According to Filb.de Metagross was distributed to English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish games at the Germany tournament.

Apparently Ray Rizzo's team was created by him & a group of his friends, & the one who got him his Metagross is a substitute teacher at my school.

If it hadn't been for me, he wouldn't even know his Metagross was being distributed...

Seems legit since I'm not even old enough to be a substitute teacher

is Ray a member here? I feel he is known a lot around here

Does it really matter?

There are quite a few users with ties to the competitive battling community, so people are bound to know who Ray is.

I'm pretty sure that POKEMONMASTER260's story isn't true. Most likely misled for the lulz.

Let me know if you hear any details on this being distributed at French or Spanish Nationals.... assuming they haven't already happened.

Or US, for that matter.

There are no Nationals in France and Spain this year.
