How to Get Event Latias/Latios in Pokémon (Ultra) Sun/(Ultra) Moon

This month in Pokémon‘s Legendary Year, the Generation III Legendaries Latias and Latios are available via Mystery Gift for Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon players. In the United States, players will be able to get a Mystery Gift code from Best Buy stores from tomorrow, September 2, through September 29. Once you receive your code, follow the following directions to receive Latias or Latios:

• Start up your Sun, Ultra Sun, Moon, or Ultra Moon game and select “Mystery Gift” from the main menu instead of “Continue.”
• From the Mystery Gift menu, select “Receive Gift.”
• Select “Get with Code/Password,” then, when asked about connecting to the internet, select “Yes” and then “Yes” again.
• Enter the code you received from Best Buy.
• Your game will receive Latias or Latios.
• Now “Continue” your game and talk to the delivery man in the orange and blue shirt, who you can find in any Pokémon Center. He will give you your Latias or Latios.

Players in Europe or the Oceania region won’t receive their Legendary through a code, but rather can get it via wi-fi from today (September 1) to September 23. To receive Latias or Latios via Mystery Gift wi-fi, follow the following steps:

• Start up your Sun, Ultra Sun, Moon, or Ultra Moon game and select “Mystery Gift” from the main menu instead of “Continue.”
• From the Mystery Gift menu, select “Receive Gift.”
• Select “Get via Internet,” then, when asked about connecting to the internet, select “Yes.”
• Your game will receive Latias or Latios.
• Now “Continue” your game and talk to the delivery man in the orange and blue shirt, who you can find in any Pokémon Center. He will give you your Latias or Latios.

If you live in a different region, you can find out whether you need a Mystery Gift code, and how to receive that code, or if you can receive Latias/Latios through Mystery Gift wi-fi by visiting pokemonlegendary.com and clicking on September Distribution.
