Update: In the United Kingdom, players can obtain Shiny Rayquaza and Pikachu at Smyths Toys Superstores starting on 24th August, with the promotion lasting four weeks.
Original post: If you’re a fan of the legendary serpentine pocket monster, Rayquaza, and happen to live in North America, the latest distribution event for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire should be of interest.
A rare Shiny Rayquaza is now available via the latest Nintendo Network offer. The legendary Pokémon can be claimed by accessing the Mystery Gift feature in Pokémon ORAS and is receivable via internet only.
Shiny Rayquaza is level 70, arrives in a red event ball, is holding a Dragon Fang and has the following moveset: Dragon Ascent, Dragon Claw, Extreme Speed, Dragon Dance.
This matches the event that launched earlier this week in Australia and New Zealand via an EB Games' serial code promotion (lasts until 31st August). Unfortunately there is currently no information regarding a European event.
If you live in North America, or even Australia and New Zealand, let us know in the comments if you’ve claimed your free Shiny Rayquaza for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in this limited time event offer.

Sweeet! I just don't know who i will replace in my lineup.
Well, it's not rare anymore. But great news.
Thanks for the head ups.
Downloading it now.
If anyone doesn't want theirs, I have plenty of good things to trade
Aww, no X and Y too? I was looking forward to 3 of them.
I call unfair treatment. They only been giving alpha sapphire and omega ruby stuff and just left x and y owners in the dust, we can't even get hoopa or that unavailable legendary pokemon.
I. FREAKING. LOVE. RAYQUAZA.
....I haven't touched this game in a while....o.o
@edgedino X & Y players can receive Hoopa when it comes. At least they could in Japan.
@Serebii was this event announced anywhere or was it just randomly turned on?
I already got one but its worth a shot to see if I can download it.
@edgedino http://www.serebii.net/games/currentevents.shtml
6 mons for x/y atm, but 3 require bank so you can only get 1 per 3ds that pays for bank. I think I got all but the bank ones atm, I'll try and get a pokemon bank sub for my birthday so i can get 3 pokemon lmao...
@Uberchu It just randomly started. Will likely get full details later today
@Serebii oh make sense... I think they have done this before as well.
just got mine
I GOT A JOLLY ONE. Not that it matter since I can't use it anywhere where it matters
Is it me, or has Europe only got 5 events?
I just got mine! Woot!
Yay, GameFreak is remembering that countries other than Japan likes events. Hopefully they'll remember Europe's existence next.
Sweet.
Cool! I'll take it.
Sweeeet. Hopefully they release shinies of other shiny locked Pokémon, like Xerneas/Yveltal and Groudon/Kyogre. I really don't get the point of shiny locking Pokémon.
Why doesn't it know V-create? That would've been awesome.
there wont be anything like 3 perfect IVs on this one, right? i already reset for a decent Rayquaza on top of that tower, I dont really wanna reset again (though I might for a favorable nature)
Does Shiny Rayquaza hate Europe or something? Because I'm certain we've never gotten a Shiny Rayquaza event in any generation ever over here (And no, the Conquest appearance does not count.)
@Serebii
Cripes you know what this does to the value of my old Shiny Rayquaza?
@crimsontadpoles
You made my day .
Wow, yet another hard to get shiny made easy.
Will definitely be picking this up!
Well on about my 5th reset I got a Jolly with 31s in HP, Atk, Def and Speed and a 23-24 in Sp. Def... the Sp. Atk sucks but ah well
Thanks for the heads up, NL. You've gotta keep your eyes peeled for Poke events. I was slipping and missed the one a couple weekends ago where they were giving away Diancie, I think, for ORAS. I already have one for XY but still would've liked to have one specifically for ORAS, too.
Any way someone in NZ can get this without going to EB games? I really want this Rayquaza...
@SnowflakeSamurai See if you can borrow a phone with 3G/4G and portable hotspot capabilities
@c1pher_c0mplet oh u definitely wanted the ORAS Diancie because it came with the Mega Stone. Hopefully they make all the MS available in the next gen games since we shouldn't be able to trade them up.
Sweet! Now if only they could do another Meloetta distribution. That's literally the only event-only Pokemon I don't have, barring Hoopa and Volcanion of course.
This makes me so happy! Living in the US, we actually don't get many legendaries in wifi events. Usually, like Diance and my shiny Gengar with mega stone (both for X/Y), you had to go to GameStop and get your serial code card. For Rayquaza though, all you need is wifi! It was so nice that it was this easy!
@Flowerlark I wish! It would be nice, and to be like Japan and get Hoopa, Arceus and Darkrai as well!
I live in Australia, can I please get a code?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I missed the event, I'm curious to know if you'll have another one. Or was this the last chance to ever get that Pokemon shiny.
