    I actually got mine last night at 8PM, so maybe they started it early? Whatever, it would have been nice if they gave up some moves to actually work with. Who has time to farm Heart Scales?

    Remember this? The app released for iOS back in February, and finally hit the Play Store this past week. Have at it!

    Some more info on the ongoing Zygarde event: The event will end in Europe on May 26, but if you're in North America, you have to hustle; the event will end here on May 8.

    However!

    In North America, the Zygarde event will be followed by a shiny Xerneas, lasting from May 11 to May 17, and a shiny Yveltal, from May 20 to May 26! Both Legendaries will be Lv100; Xerneas will know Geomancy, Moonblast, Aromatherapy, and Focus Blast; Yveltal will know Oblivion Wing, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, and Foul Play.

    Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde are all available to download in both XY and ORAS. European distributions have yet to be confirmed.

    To be totally honest I'm really confused as to why Zygarde is being given away. Xerneas and Yveltal makes sense because they're shiny, but unless I'm missing something, Zygarde is just perfectly normal, without even a special move.

    I'm also kind of unimpressed that, at least so far, it seems like the shiny duo won't be distributed in most of Europe, unless they surprise us at the end of the Zygarde event.

    Zygarde (and the shinies) are to promote the XYZ anime; their OTs are "XYZ" and their in-game location is "the Pokémon cartoon". I'm disappointed, but unsurprised at the current lack of news for Europe having the event.

    The shiny Xerneas event is live a little bit early! Remember, you've only got a week to download it for XY and ORAS.

    If you're in the US and you missed out on GameStop's distribution of Mew codes in February, good news! Codes will be distributed once more next month through Pokémon's Trainer Club Newsletter! If you're not on the email list for the newsletter, you need to sign up by June 1 if you want a Mew code.

    In other news, tomorrow is the last day to claim your bacon bird shiny Yveltal for North Americans, and the last day to claim your Zygarde for Europeans and Australians. Don't miss out!

    If you missed out on the Darkrai distribution earlier this year, you can get a second chance by signing up for the Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter! If you sign up before August 24, you'll be sent a code sometime in September! Unfortunately, you won't be able to redeem it if you already received a Darkrai from the earlier event.
