The mainline Pokemon franchise may have decided to take a break in 2015 after nearly annual releases, including Pokemon X & Y and Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire in 2013 and 2014 respectively. While there is no new game this year, there is yet another event Pokemon being given out and you can get it right now.

Soon after the release of Pokemon X & Y, fans datamined the game and eventually find data for a Pokemon named Hoopa, though it was not obtainable inside the game itself. However, the Mythical Pokemon Hoopa is finally available through a special distribution event at McDonald’s.

Coinciding with the Pokemon Happy meal toys based on Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire we told you about prior, you can get Hoopa through the hotspot at any McDonald’s location now through December 23.

Hoopa can be obtained within any of X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire through a very simple process. Just bring your 3DS to McDonald’s and start up your game and choose Mystery Gift from the main menu after the title screen. From here, select Mystery Gift and Yes, followed by Get Via Internet and Yes as well.

After downloading the data for Hoopa, go into the actual game and at any Pokemon Center, you will find the delivery girl who will give you the Level 50 Mythical Pokemon Hoopa.
