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 Keldeo, which will arrive on 1st October and be available until the 24th of the same month through the Nintendo Network; it originally appeared in Pokémon Black and White before also making an appearance in the sequel. It's level 100 in this distribution, and can be received through the usual routine of selecting 'Receive Gift' and then 'Get Via Internet'; then you seal the deal by speaking to the Delivery Girl in a Pokémon Center. Details screengrabbed and shared from the official website, below.
The Mythical Pokémon Keldeo first galloped into Pokémon Black and Pokémon White in Ordinary Form, and then changed into majestic Resolute Form after learning the Secret Sword move in Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2. Now you can get Keldeo via a Nintendo Network event, once again in Ordinary Form in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire! Then, seek out the Move Tutor in Mauville City to teach Keldeo its signature Secret Sword move.
Download Keldeo via Nintendo Network beginning October 1, 2016, for your Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, or Pokémon Y game. This Pokémon will be available only until October 24, 2016, so don't miss this opportunity!
Will you be grabbing this Keldeo? Let us know in the comments.

Just a note, in X and Y a Move Tutor in Snowbelle City can teach Keldeo Secret Sword as well. It's an Ace Trainer located in a house behind the Pokemon Center.
I enjoy levelling up pokemon, and making them my own, so these distributions where they fling out untrainable lvl. 100 pokemon seems kind of pointless to me (I'm presuming they can't be bred). You can't even rename them. What am I supposed to do with them?
Nethertheless, it's one more pokemon I need to complete my X pokedex, so I'll go ahead and snap it up when the time comes.
I've had so much fun collecting all the legendaries and mythicals they've distributed since the beginning of the year. I only had a few (because the first Pokemon main series game I ever played was Black & White) but by the end of the year, I'll have every single one! Also can't wait for the Volcanion distribution!
Yay, they're distributing it simply and easily over the internet this time
@Phil_Kavadias It's hacked. You can't trade legitimate ones through GTS. As far as I know, any Mythical with a blue star cannot be traded through GTS to date. If you look at their badges you should see a special one for event pokemon which prohibits that kind of trade.
I have Alpha Saphire and Y so I'll get 2 and trade my spare Keldeo.
Yes! That was the one I was sorry I missed out on. Too bad I can't send it to Pokemon Black, though. It actually had some story relevance there.
@edhe they can still be EV trained at level 100 (tho I believe you have to reset for the EVs to be added to its stats). Also all Mythical pokémon will have at least three stats with perfect (31) IVs so resetting isn't so bad. Furthermore Sun & Moon are gonna have something called IV training which will allow you to increase those imperfect IVs, so basically all you need to do is reset it until you get the desired Nature and you'll be able to eventually get one that's perfect.
@Tsurii if you're in North America, I believe I still have some Arceus codes which should work as they don't expire til (iirc) the end of November or something. Not at home right now so can't check til later. Lemme know if ur interested. I should have a few if anyone else needs a code.
@foodmetaphors Hey, if possible, i would like an Arceus code please. Where i live are no gamestops at all, so couldnt get one.
@foodmetaphors Hey! I also live in NA and was unable to get the good so I would appreciate an extra if you have it! Cheers
ok well I'm home now and found 3 codes and @Venester and @TheBatman were first so no more requests unless @Tsurii doesn't get back to me in the next day or two
@foodmetaphors awesome, thank you very much
Got one on Sapphire and one on X. Gonna have to get the bank at this rate...
@Tyranexx Thank you! I really love this Mythical Pokémon, and lost it when I lost Alpha Sapphire. At least I can get back the Sacred Sword move.
@Phil_Kavadias Volcanion is being distributed through codes at your local game store this month.
@Wandman5612: No prob! Hopefully you find your copy of Alpha Sapphire at some point!
@Phil_Kavadias Like @Alshain01 said, it's 99.9% hacked. And I know all the arguments for/against hacked (or "hacked," as others might prefer) Pokés, including the ones about hacking them to where they have legit stats, natures, moves, etc. even if they aren't from official events or distributions. I simply prefer to get my mythicals and legendaries from official events and distributions. I love the Pokés but not enough to start hacking little lines of code with cute faces that don't even exist... lol
@LegendOfPokemon Just checked online and found an article pegging the official date for Game Stops receiving Volcanion download vouchers as October 10 (other than the previously mentioned nebulous October 2016 date). Of course, that means the local Game Stop here will likely get them a week later... (I really dislike that place...)
@foodmetaphors Given that @Tsurii can't use the game stop code for Arceus may I have it? It is the only one I've missed from the monthly events this year.
Got my friend to grab me a Volcanion code from GAME yesterday. I'll grab some more when I next go. Also got my 4 keldeo like always. Although by now I have loads of duplicates due to always getting both versions since Ruby/Sapphire. And ever since diamond and pearl (Thank God for WiFi) getting all the mystery gifts!
@Phil_Kavadias They announced it back in August. http://xy11.pokemontcgxy.com/en-us/volcanion/
@Phil_Kavadias Why did you put up Illumise for Volcanion? Just curious if there's something special about Illumise in this case
Got my Keldeos - I'm glad they've started doing these events over wifi as well as a lot of us don't have any shops in our countries which host them. The UK and Ireland distribution for Volcanion is being done through Game, even though there are no Game stores in Ireland..
@elekid Nintendo really hates Ireland don't they? It's a shame they always bundle you guys with the UK but then never support you guys. Like with the official UK store. Still, I could probably help you get a code if you want. A heads up is that it'd take me a week or so due to when I'm able to go to a Game
@DoctorOverbuild Yeah it's pretty frustrating, I've contacted Nintendo and the Pokemon Company about these things before but they don't want to know
I have a relative who is visiting the UK soon lined up to get me a Volcanion code so I should be ok for one this time but thank you for offering anyway, that's very kind of you
@elekid Yup I see plenty of people complaining the Nintendo UK have it bad, but nothing like Ireland. You guys have it really bad! No worries if something goes wrong feel free to tag me in a comment somewhere and let me know!
His moves are crap! I wonder why....
@Tyranexx I lost it about 2 years ago during vacation. There's no hope. Oh well. At least I got Keldeo back!
@Venester A5Z4-LE8H-NLPJ-HM6G
@TheBatman A5Z4-LE8M-738F-STNX
@Papapiki A5Z4-LE3W-33LF-S749
Lemme know if there are any problems, hopefully nobody swipes em first :3
@foodmetaphors Got it, it worked. Thank you so much, really truly appreciate it. Hope it works for the others.
@Phil_Kavadias Thanks for the reply, I tried it too but no luck so far
