I'll hope more we get this in the West!

this Event is a Promotion for the coming TGC  「キミを待つ島々」

[theSLAYER]

Yup, so the following shinies will likely coincide with the japanese TCG release.

I expect the same for Western territories, too.

Like Saori Machamp, I'll post the details on how to spoof/grab it once it's out

If Shiny Xerneas and Yveltal were released overseas in Gen 6 then I don't see how the Shiny Tapu won't.

because we in the western countries do not get any event which is also distributed in Japan or US 

since Gen 4:

US: Dragonite, Manaphy, Deoxys

 

Gen 5:

Secret Eggs

[theSLAYER]

Nah, this is tied to TCG, and too major to not be distributed.

At least, based on Gen 6 standards of Shiny events.

Like Shiny Xerneas/Yvetal, Zygarde Tins,
Shiny Rayquaza (Ancient Origins; Also Movie tie-in)
Zoroark (Break Through)
Volcanion (Steam Siege; Also Movie tie-in)

It just feels weird to see Shiny Legendaries this soon.
If I were to speculate,
I'll say the schedule for Gen 7 (or at least Sun and Moon) is pretty rushed,
And maybe they want to fast forward to the next game (which could either be final Pokemon game for 3DS, or straight to Switch)

In any case, I hope they release VC Gen 2 first. (Like, for our 21 anniversary celebration. don't drag this out Game Freak)

EDIT:
This won't be as easy as Saori's Machamp.

You first need to log in to Nintendo Zone at the 7 Spot,
Click the image, then a Serial Code will be generated for you.

(as seen in the image from the same twitter source)

Don't get your hopes up just yet. From my experience, it is not possible to spoof 7SPOT Nintendo Zone Viewer content.

I vaguely recall trying something like that and failing too, but I guess this counts as confirmation

In any case, since it's a Serial code event, I'll be able to upload the Wonder card,
it'll just mean I'll be unable to redeem it myself

Edit, to prevent double posting:
It's been pointed out on Twitter by various users, prominently Joe Merrick of Serebii,
That the two images that show receive mystery gift is from Gen 6, not Gen 7.

Whether or not that is a mistake by 7 Eleven (maybe an internal memo) or the image being a hoax,
It is likely we'll get the event eventually.
 

However, I'll be holding my breath, until we get an official memo from one of the official Pokemon affiliated websites.

I think @SciresM was able to spoof Nintendo zone.

The problem isn't that,
the problem is the Nintendo Zone app itself may also be receiving data for the selection screen in it,
which might be data only sent at the physical location.

This event is different from the Machamp,
whereas the Serial Code can be used on any normal network,
but you'll have to go into the NZ app to obtain it,
and the selection may not pop up on a spoofed network, as tried previously by Purin (and to a largely lesser extent by me previously)

[Guest]

Yeah, did some research while being in one of the stores.
7SPOT Nintendo Zone content is reachable through their private network only (some 10.x.x.x IP). No access over the public internet.

[Sabresite]

How is this different from Saori Machamp, which I thought was NZ also? Is 7SPOT a different kind of NZ?
I ask because @SciresM said if we know the AP of the NZ, we can get it from the internet.

I think I wasn't clear with my explanation, I'm sorry about that.

For Saori Machamp, all we needed to do was to connect to the network and receive the Pokemon "Via Internet" option. (not serial code)
[when connecting through the spoofed nintendo zone, the 3DS sends the correct AP to grab the Pokemon off the server]

However for this, we need to actually open the Nintendo Zone app, then click on the Viewer for it to give us a Serial Code.

The problem arises here is that as mentioned by Purin, if we weren't connected to that exact private network at their 7 Spot,
The viewer portion will come up blank (a small x, if I'm not mistaken), so we won't be able to grab the serial code.

[This serial code can be used on any network; it's the obtaining that is the problem]


edit:
In any case we'll be able to grab it straight from the server, ap is likely 00011200000
It's just that users won't be able to spoof the NZ to grab it themselves..

[Guest]

This is indeed different from Saori. You can NOT download the Pokémon directly from within the game. You have to get a serial code within the Nintendo Zone Viewer app. Spoofing the 7SPOT Nintendo Zone won't work for accessing the Nintendo Zone Viewer app content. Like I said, it's served from within a private network.

This serial code can be redeemed in the game freely from any internet connection, no spoofing needed.

[Sabresite]

I was thinking about it from the perspective of having the WC, not spoofing the server that gives you the code.

[theSLAYER]

No worries, at 90% confidence, as long as the event is real, we should be able to get it.

The one I have lesser confidence is the Eggs distribution.
That seems likely to be Local Distribution, not nintendo zone.

[jojo12100]

According to Serebii it will be lv60, got an Electric Seed, Electric Surge Ability, the moves Nature's Madness, Discharge, Agility and Electro Ball.

The code will be available in 7-11, Pokemon Centers, Yodobashi Camera, Aeon Amazon and Rakuten from March 17th to April 9th and the code needs to be redeemed by May 31st.

[theSLAYER]

It's likely the memo was an official memo, as the same artwork is featured!

Uploading these images here for now:

[XerneusGuy]

According to Joe Merrick (Serebii) The shiny Tapu Koko event is nature locked to Timid. Is someone able to confirm this? 

Source: UK and Ireland VGC group

[theSLAYER]

I have the wonder card and will upload it when the time comes.

I confirm it is locked to Timid

[phillyrider807]

Almost every viable set for Tapu Koko has him at timid so this isn't bad at all.

[Jipsu]

Hello

Since Tapu Koko Shiny is Japanese Region Lock, how do we inject him in European Console?
Best Regards
Jipsu

[theSLAYER]

Simulate that you received him from trade.

Meaning it's received region and sub region change to Japan territories,
and set your OT to the Latest (Not OT) Handler region.
