Get Lycanroc With its Hidden Ability Today

The Event Pokemon are very rare Pokemon given out over the Nintendo Network, at select locations, or with codes, during a usually limited time frame for in Pokemon Sun and Moon.

To get these creatures, you must choose "Mystery Gift" at the main menu of your Pokemon Sun or Moon game. Next, choose "Get Via Internet" if obtaining a Pokemon through the Nintendo Network, or choose "Get Via Local Wireless" if obtaining a Pokemon at select event locations like game stores. You can also choose "Get Via Serial Code" if you have a code.

Once received, the Event Pokemon can be obtained from a Delivery Man at any Pokemon Center in the game. Make sure you have an open spot in your party. If you wish to get a specific Nature or Individual Values, save before talking to the Delivery Man. If you talk to him with a Pokemon with Synchronize at the head of your party, the gift Pokemon will also have that Pokemon's nature. 

In addition to the Pokemon, you will receive a Wonder Card. All Wonder Cards are viewable from the Card Album in the Mystery Gift Menu. Only 48 Wonder Cards can be held on a game cartridge. If you can't receive the Event Pokemon, you may need to delete some Wonder Cards.

To celebrate the release of a new Pokemon TCG set, Guardians Rising, participating retailers are giving out a battle-ready Lycanroc for Pokemon Sun and Moon. This Pokemon has its Hidden Ability, No Guard, which makes it so it cannot miss. However, No Guard also leaves it with, well, no guard, allowing enemies to hit it without fault in retaliation.

UK; Spain	May 5 - May 31	GAME
France	May 13 - June 12	Micromania

Images from Japanese magazine CoroCoro leaked in March to reveal the next event for Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Those who pre-order a ticket in Japan to I Choose You, the 20th Pokemon movie, will receive a Serial Code that will redeem a Pikachu wearing one of six different hats Ash has worn over the past seven generations of the Pokemon anime series. Each of these Pikachu will also be holding a special Z-Crystal, Pikashumium Z, which allows Pikachu to use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.

Serial Codes for Ash Hat Pikachu obtained by pre-ordering movie tickets in Japan will only work with Japanese games and systems. We will update this page as soon as we know when Ash Hat Pikachu will be available in other regions.

As translated by Serebii, the Pikachu granted will be determined by when the Serial Code is redeemed, not when it's received, and multiple Serial Codes can be redeemed in the same copy of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. Each hat will be obtainable during two periods of time throughout the year, too.

Magearna is an event-only Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Sun and Moon. This page shows you how to add it to your game!

NOTE: You'll have to complete the main story before you can pick Magearna up! Thankfully the QR code does not have an expiration date, so no rush!

This special Steel- and Fairy-type Pokemon is caught by a different method than any other Event Pokemon, the first of its kind with others to most likely follow suit. To get Magearna, you'll have to scan a QR Code released on Pokemon.com! You can find it below:

North America	Europe/Australia

Because Magearna is obtainable via QR Code, there doesn't seem to be a time limit on when to get it. If you have the QR Code, you should be able to get Magearna.

Location	Event Date
Worldwide	December 5th, 2016 - Never ends

Simply open the QR Scanner from the menu in Pokemon Sun and Moon (after already starting your game!)  and point the camera at the QR Code you want to scan. Hold the R trigger to capture the code. Then, you'll be able to add Magearna to your team by visiting the antique shop at the Hau'oli City shopping mall, accessible after you defeat your first Grand Trial!

This Pokemon's Ability increases its Sp. Attack by one stage every time a Pokemon on the battlefield faints, making Magearna an incredibly powerful Pokemon in Double Battles. Unfortunately, the Legendary can't be used in the 2017 VGC World Championship Series challenges or online competitions. However, Magearna does come with a very rare gift: A Bottle Cap, which is used for Hyper Training! With this Bottle Cap, you can max one of your Pokemon's stats as long as it's Level 100.
