2018: The Year of Pokémon Legends

With the release of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon last year, there has oddly been no announcements of any sort of distribution, up until now. Throughout this year, we’ll be getting a plethora of Legendary Pokémon that will be made available in Sun/Moon and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

What makes this distribution unique is that each pair of versions will get a different Pokémon, further encouraging trading between players (or purchasing multiple copies). What’s even more intriguing is that the levels and move sets are different between games. Here’s what we’ll be getting every month:

- February: Dialga and Palkia
- March: Regigigas and Heatran
- April: Raikou and Entei
- May: Yveltal and Xerneas
- June: Shiny Zygarde
- July: Tornadus and Thundurus
- August: Kyogre and Groudon
- September: Latios and Latias
- October: Reshiram and Zekrom
- November: Ho-Oh and Lugia

The first distribution is from February 2-28. These will be codes distributed through GameStop, and need to be redeemed by May 23. There’s no concrete indication as to where the future distributions will be, but based on how things have been lately we can probably expect them all to be at GameStop. Be sure to keep an eye on the official site for more information as it comes.
