Reshiram and Zekrom Event Comes To Target In US - Pokemon Ultra Sun And Moon
By Jesse Collins ·
If you're following the Year of Legendary giveaway events going on this year, make sure to pick up your codes for Reshiram and Zekrom this month. Here's when and where to grab them.
When you “gotta catch ‘em all”, the Legendary Pokemon events this year help a ton in finding the more rare creatures in the game. Majority of these come in the form of serial code cards given out at specific retail stores. Last year saw a similar event each month come in the form of Mythical Pokemon, but this is the year of Legendary.
Instead of Best Buy or Gamestop, this time we see the codes coming from Gamestop here in the US, starting October 19 and ending October 28, 2018. This isn’t the first time this year that Target has been the outlet with the codes. Tornadus and Thundurus were available at Target back in July for the same celebration reasons.
- Pokemon Sun - Level 60 - No item
- Pokemon Moon - Level 60 - No item
- Pokemon Ultra Sun - Level 100 - Holding a Gold Bottle Cap
- Pokemon Ultra Moon - Level 100 - Holding a Gold Bottle Cap
If you’re not in the US, however, majority of countries start their code handouts a tad earlier. In Europe and Oceania, trainers can get their code through the Mystery Gift functionality starting now and ending October 21. If you don’t know how: start up your Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon games and click just past the title screen, before you go into the save file. Go down to Mystery Gift and click it. Choose “Via Internet” and you’ll receive a corresponding Pokemon to your game. You can do this once for each game.
As for those in the US, the same instructions apply, except instead of choosing “Via Internet”, you choose to enter Code. Canadian fans will receive their code via the Trainer Club Newsletter, meaning they will only get one of the four available options, depending on their game of choice above.
Hurry to grab these fifth generation Pokemon since the time frame is so short for this event, unlike some past events that last for three weeks. This also likely means that the Ho-oh and Lugia event will happen in November to finish off the final members teased in the original promo image earlier this year. Additionally, don't forget to grab your Zeraora this month from Gamestop in the US while you're out picking up these codes, since it starts the same day.
