Cecillia Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 As of Thursday, January 18th 2018, The Pokémon Company International declared 2018 to be the “Year of the Legendary Pokémon”. This means that there will be various distributions of legendary Pokémon throughout the year. The Pokémon that get distributed aren't mythical Pokémon, but luckily 2017 was the 20th anniversary. In celebrating the occasion, they distributed mythical Pokémon throughout the year. This year they chose for a similar scheme, but the legendary Pokémon you receive depends on your game. (e.g. Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon) Additionally, this marks the first time that Shiny Zygarde is being officially recognized by TPCi, and to be slated for release in June. Pokémon distribution schedule: February Sun/Ultra Sun: Palkia Moon/Ultra Moon: Dialga March Heatran Regigigas April Raikou Entei May Xerneas Yveltal June Shiny Zygarde July Tornadus Thundurus August Groudon Kyogre September Latios Latias October Reshiram Zekrom November Ho-oh Lugia Some of them come with a gold bottle cap. They are at least level 60, and know "awesome moves", according to TPCi. Source: https://www.pokemonlegendary.com/en-us/distributions/ View full article 3
Ruby Genseki Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Just hope "awesome moves" means some event-exclusive thing and not just their signature + 3 (good) moves we could teach them in-game. 1

We really don't know what they'll do. the upcoming Dialga and Palkia would be a nice indicator. (please be event exclusive moves)
shadowofdarkness Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) I did get a email about the event and if you click though it to the learn more for DIalga and Palkia it lists the movesets including the fact they have slightly different movesets between SM and USUM Link to movesets https://www.pokemonlegendary.com/en-us/distributions/detail/ Edited January 20, 2018 by shadowofdarkness 2
Ruby Genseki Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 So they get nothing special in the end. SM ones get the movesets they have when encountered in the wild in USUM, whereas the USUM ones have Draco Meteor instead of their sigs, just in case you wanna have it but are too lazy to increase a Lv. 100 Mon's friendship in order to teach it yourself. Kinda underwhelming, if you ask me. Even Celebrate would have done to an extent, as it is somewhat useful when used as a Z move. 2 1
Cecillia Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 Hmmmm... I'd have hoped for otherwise illegal moves... 1
JISN[064] Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 look at the good side, we will get our mint-flavored ground snek!
MichiS97 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I mean that's nice and all but they're basically handing out all the legendaries in the games anyway, it's not like any of these are rare or anything except for shiny Zygarde.

Maybe the legendaries are the opposite of your game. That would seem logical at the very least. It also reminds me of 2012's Reshiram & Zekrom distribution. 5

Maybe we just teach them the right moves if they get the right Natures.

Well, of course, but that's not why I'm disappointed. Some of us were expecting these event Mons to have moves that we couldn't teach'em in-game, such as...Idk, do you know about the TRU Arceus? that one from gen 4 with the Creation Trio's signature moves? These were event-exclusive moves, no other Arceus can legitimately have'em. But the legendaries being given away this years don't have anything special -- they're no different from the ones we could catch in-game, except for being in Cherish Balls and having a fancy ribbon. 1
