With Pokémon in its 20th Anniversary year we've been getting one Mythical Pokémon every month for the current-gen games, each available for a few weeks.
This month's offering is Arceus, which is up for grabs until 24th August and originated in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. It's level 100 in this distribution, of course, and when you find a 'corresponding plate' it can become any type. Details screengrabbed from the official website are below.
You can grab this for X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but unlike some others this one is being distributed via codes in stores. Serebii has compiled a handy list showing which stores are handling distributions in a broad range of countries.

No Pokemon don't make me go outside and talk to someone for an Arceus! >.<
Game are also running a promotion where you can get an exclusive trading card per month if you buy something Pokémon related. However none of their stores have any stock of things to buy once you already have the main games.
Hamleys at the weekend only had some 2016 calendars for £9...
@Tsurii Darkrai was earlier in the year.
Nice! Time to pick up an Arceus
Where do I go if I live in Ireland. There are no GAME stores here
Part of the reason I took today off was to visit a couple of stores and round out some codes for my niece and I.
Look all mythical Pokemons I can't get because I'm living in a mythical country.
This is actually the only part I really don't like about Pokemon; event exclusives.
Thankfully there's an easy way around it (Pokegen) and I have no regrets (full living dex in the bank). I just want everybody to have access to the same content at all times, gotta catch 'm all right?
Gotta be at the right time and place and download 'm all more like.
Holy macaroni! I'm on holiday and there's a Micromania right near me! I'm in luck for an Arceus.
No, I won't be grabbing it since there is no distribution in Greece...
Could anyone be able to get me an EU arceus code. I would be willing to trade some of the humble nindie bundle game codes if anyone wants them.
I guess making them so easily available before made too much sense. Better make it a code that you have to go to Gamestop for. At least it's not the Nintendo World Store.
@Tsurii Darkrai distribution was in May
Cool name... Arc is something about Math. Angle, Geometry, whatever its name.
@Tsurii Darkrai was the previous code distribution.
Yes! Now we can get the Pokemon god from... the Pokemon Gods, I guess?
@Tsurii Darkrai codes were around for a while. You might have missed them but I think they still haven't hit their expiration date. So there's a chance for you to grab one. Search for giveaways on Facebook or other social media.
Serial codes and in store events are a hassle, but I'll head to GAME eventually and pick it up.
@Yedaself As I mentioned in earlier comment, look for giveaways and raffles on the internet. That is a solution, if you don't have friends in supported countries, or don't want to pay on Ebay.
Well...looks like it's that time again. I'm willing to pick up 1 code per person for 3 US players.
Again just like darkri no where to get this one here in Ireland. :<
Serial Codes are very inconvenient, though I suppose I'll stop by EB Games this week since I was planning on getting a gift for my friend anyways.
Why not simply put it thought Internet Wi-Fi to countries that are outside these regions?
@ThePotatoWarrior yeah, I was wondering that too...I was thinking maybe GameStop, because we have them here too?
@KTT Actually, one of kind users of Reddit gave me a code for Darkrai couple of months ego. Probably I will go there again or buy on Ebay.
Wow, I get to go to GameStop later. Oh joy. /sarcasm
I'd wait until I get back from vacation, but I know they'll be out of codes by then....
So you are freaking saying that this distributionis happening on south africa, and not in Brazil, one of the biggest countries in the world, where there is for certain more people with pokémon ORAS? Great job Nintendo.
@Infuriatedape Sure. I can go to a GAME store tomorrow and get a code for you. You don't need to give any game codes. I bought the humble bundle anyway.
@ShadowLuigi2 I'm heading to the states on 8/31 for college so I'll be missing this by a tiny bit of time (sad life), but I've owned a US 3DS since it launched; do you think you could save me a copy? Thanks in advance! XD
GameStop disgusts me, but.....gotta CATCH that Arceus
@noutBr Does Pokegen still works? After the death of the DS network I remember it died along with a site (I may be talking of the same thing, I don't remember) that allowed you to get any mon you generated there.
@Tsurii
Is it really that hard to get up and burn 200 calories walking into a store?
@RainbowGazelle Thank you so much. Spent the entire day trying to sort out a way to get a code.
I used Pokegen to edit a save in a rom on a flashcard in a regular DS. I then trade those Pokemon to a real copy that's compatible and from there they go to the bank.
The program I have is not connected to the Internet or anything so as long as you have it on your PC you can use it.
@Kmno that was meant as a reply ^
@ShadowLuigi2 I have a US system but am studying in the UK. I would really appreciate a code. Thank you very much
Definitely getting me an Arceus or two. Looks like I'll need to subscribe to the bank at some point!
@GoombaJMR @Kemo47 Alright! Got you both down for codes. I should have them throughout the week. Do either of you have some sort of email I can send them to?
@ShadowLuigi2 [email protected]
That is very kind of you. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it.
I walked to get the plush on day one. I walked eight miles. They only had one in stock for some reason and I got it.
Time to find a EB Games near the outback
@noutBr I once tried that but found it too cumbersome. Specially if I wanted "legit" distribution only legendaries. Guess I'll try again after researching the easiest and best way to get them.
@Infuriatedape Okay, I've got an Arceus code. How would you like me to give it to you?
@Phil_Kavadias Ευχαριστώ πολύ!!!! Αν και δεν χρειάζεται να μπαίνεις σε κόπο.
@RainbowGazelle Thank you so much, I guess email would suffice. Heres a new one I just set up.
[email protected]
@RainbowGazelle You sure you do not wont anything in return?
@Infuriatedape Not at all. GAME is just 5 mins away from where I live, so it's no problem. Anyway, I've sent you the code.
@RainbowGazelle Thank you so much.
@Tsurii I have yet to walk into an EBGames and the employees don't know what Pokemon are... especially now.
Do you guys still have extra codes? I could not download the game from here in the Philippines.
@ShadowLuigi2 [email protected] shall be sufficient. Thanks a lot man ^o^ we should exchange FCs while we're at it too. Mine is 0860-3671-7874
@Phil_Kavadias
From a third Greek to the second one: Will you be able to grab one for me too?
why no available in Asia? T.T
@Phil_Kavadias
Hi I'm Lina.. for some reason my previous account won't let me post :/ You really remembered? Thanks I put my fb profile on my account here.. You can add me If you want
@Phil_Kavadias You still happen to have an extra? I'm currently out of the country on business. Assuming your talking about EU codes =)
@Phil_Kavadias Let me know if you got my message with my e-mail it not I'll post it again.
@Phil_Kavadias I got it thanks a million. You have made my daughter happy
I'm from India , there are zero game stores here , literally. Can I depend on one of my western buds to email me an areas US code? I shall be ever so grateful, thank you. - [email protected]
Arceus**. I can email you a Fifa 14 Xbox code in return
