Get Mythical Time Travel Pokémon Celebi When You Download Pokémon Bank

quick question is it possible to get shinys out of events like this ?

@JogurtTheYogurt No, it isn't.

would you need a nnid to download pokemon bank, I want this Celebi but I'm scared of country locking myself

@Interneto ah right thanks

I am wondering if I can use Pokemon bank to store all my current Pokemon so I can restart my game and be able to transfer back everything? Anyone know if this would work? And will all my transfered Pokemon be "traded" and get the exp boost on my new save file?

I wasn't planning on getting the Bank since I haven't played any previous gen games, but this changed my mind. Heck, it's 100% free to with the free trial and all.

fitting that this is the time travel pokemon, because there was no pokemon i wanted more as a 8 year old playing through silver,

@WingedSnagret yeah, you can start a new file and keep your best pokemon

Downloading as soon as possible. I have to send in my XL to get fixed first. And then buy white 2 again. I lost all my DS games somewhere in my house.

"This creature comes with Hold Back, a move [...] which always leaves the target with at least 1 HP"

So basically the same as 'False Swipe' then?

Yup.

Too bad it's going to work out the same way as Pokemon Dream Radar did where the Pokemon gets sent and you don't get a Nature & IV that you desire.

@GodfatherTaunt Yeah Hold back is just another variation of False swipe. Here: 56ZG-WWWW-WWWX-TMA8 (VS Recorder video.)

Does this apply to those of us who use the free trial?

I was going to use Pokémon Bank anyway, and now I'm very happy with my decision.

Soft reset for it until you get a shiny one deposited ;P

Five dollars for a Pokemon, my body is ready.

@WingedSnagret @SirQuincealot I would be cautious about how easily you can access Pokemon from the Bank within Pokemon X/Y.

Like every previous Pokemon game in the main series, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have access to download Pokemon from the Bank until you reached a certain point in the story. This has historically prevented players from moving Lv.100 Pokemon into a new file (from the Bank this time) and then rampaging through the game uncontested.

In Blank and White, you couldn't transfer up Pokemon from gen. 4 until after you beat the game.

Sweet, I've never got a chance at a legit celebi other than Gen II. I just need a shiny mew now and my dream team will be set.

Wasn't gonna bother with the free download seeing as X is my first mon game in years but this has intrigued me.

This will be cool. Too bad Celebi kinda sucks competitively.

Now if only we could get a Mew, Darkrai, and Jirachi too.

does it count if u also get poke mover?

@Ronoh They already said that you can access it as soon as you obtain the pokedex

@SkywardLink98 Yes, yes it does. Can't wait, I started with X, and am working my way thru backwards, with white 2 and platinum.

Why not a Shiny Porygon? It would make more sense than this because of the purpose of each Pokémon.

@Gridatttack It doesn't work that way you know...

@OptometristLime This Celebi is free. Free trial ends when this event does too...

@GodfatherTaunt Well that sounds like a waste of an event-only move

I'm not defending the choice of an alternate False Swipe as an "event only" move, but I will defend the fact of the typing and usage of Celebi in double/triple battles, especially if (I haven't tried this or even know if it works properly) you can Skill Swap the ability Sheer Force (removes additional effects to increase move damage) and faint said target.

We'll all be surprised the minute that we find out that Celebi is a Fairy Type. Celebi, Jirachi, Phione, Manaphy, and Shaymin should all be Fairy Types.

now im DEFINETLY downloading pokemon bank

I'm thrilled to get any Pokemon I'm unlikely to get without hardcore trading. Sweet.

@Ronoh
Even if you could get the level 100 pokemon straight away they wouldn't listen to you. Sure they'd 1 hit KO anything when they actually listen but you'd spend 80% of the game watching your pokemon do things like loaf around.

The only legendaries I don't own are Mew and Celebi, so I guess that narrows it to Mew. I was going to get Pokemon Bank anyways.

I'm starting to think Pokebank is mythical...
