Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have revealled the distribution Pokémon being released in 2018.

Last year the Pokémon were distributed via GameStop store (EB Games in Canada) and also as free downloads through the Pokémon Sun and Moon games. It’s unclear if that will be the case again this year, but the first Pokémon to be released will be done via code cards at GameStop (EB Games) stores again.

In celebration of the amazing power of Legendary Pokémon, look forward to opportunities to obtain these magnificent Pokémon over the course of the year. Every one of the Pokémon you’ll get for your Pokémon Ultra Sun, Pokémon Ultra Moon, Pokémon Sun, or Pokémon Moon game will be at least level 60. Plus, they may be holding a valuable Gold Bottle Cap to let you maximize the individual strengths of one of your Pokémon via Hyper Training.

Pokémon received through Pokémon Sun or Moon will be level 60 while Pokémon received through Pokémon Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon will be level 100.

Available at GameStop (EB Games) from February 2-28, 2018 are the legendary duo of Palkia and Dialga. Palkia and Dialga will be available at participating GameStop (EB Games) stores starting February 2nd, 2018. Visit and you can receive a code to get Palkia in your Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Sun game, or Dialga in your Pokémon Ultra Moon or Pokémon Moon game.

Codes need to be redeemed in your game by May 23rd, 2018.
