It's been a year of awesome Anniversary Legendary distributions in the last-gen Pokémon games (as they are now), with some neat 'mon given away for X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Most were distributed via the Nintendo Network, but some were more awkwardly tied to store distributions.
One of these was Arceus in August, but now there's a simple code to get hold of one in the games - you can't have two though, so there's no point in trying if you already got one earlier in the year. You simply redeem the code ARCEUS2016 in Europe or ARCEUS20 in North America if you want to collect one.
It's worth getting if you didn't have it already; the official profile is below.
Be sure to pick this up. It's worth remembering that the last of these Anniversary distributions, Meloetta, is also available now.
Thanks to everyone who gave us a heads up.

Good
Aagh...please don't disappear yet. I will got my Pokemon X back on Sunday. >_<
@Anti-Matter Don't worry. According to Serebii, the code works until December 31st.
@ThomasBW84 Also according to Serebii, just the European code is ARCEUS2016. The North American code is ARCEUS20.
Yay! I missed it in August!
@LegendOfPokemon Ah I've corrected that. Annoyingly I did check the UK and US pages, but the differences in codes passed me by, my bad.
@ThomasBW84 Probably b/c you were up to 4 in the morning covering TGA.
I'll let my kids know when we get back from seeing Kubo, I think they still need to get Meloetta as well, so 2-fer.
Hoping we get a second chance Volcanion in the near future
@UmbreonsPapa I got lucky when picking up Genesect the store i went to had extra Volcanion codes
I'm hoping for another Mew in NA looks like i missed my chance when i took a hiatus from Pokemon and the 3DS from 2013-2016
Got it!
Hope they do one for Genesect. A lot of Game store here buggered up the code distribution last month.
I'm praying they re-do the legendary birds code distribution. Dagnab that unchecked email promotions box!
Oh thank you, I missed the first one.
@UmbreonsPapa
They did a redistribution of Hoopa, so I think there will be a Volcanion redistribution. We could possibly see it around February, with Genesect hopefully the month after.
@Angelic_Lapras_King
You should hopefully see it around March-April if they do it.
I lucked out and grabbed two codes the first time around, but this is great for those who missed out!
...I thought about waiting for a second chance distribution like this, but there was no guarantee it was happening, so....
@shaneoh I would fully expect a Genesect disturibution for SuMo since I ran across an NPC that talked about him and he gave me items pertaining to him.
@UmbreonsPapa here at the toystore they still have codes for volcanion, i live in europe tho.
@Mr_Zurkon
Yeah it will probably happen for S&M, but if if they redo last months genesect event then I doubt that it will be compatible with S&M. Otherwise I would have expected the Arceus and Meloetta events on now to be compatible.
Yep, got mine already.
S/M is out but they're distributing in OR/AS? They really want people to pay for a Pokebank subscription.
@DarkKirby To be fair, the first SuMo distribution starts December 5th.
Sweet. I could use a couple more Arceus. Maybe I could use them to trade towards the Jirachi I missed earlier this year.
Man, I hope they do one for Victini. It's the only one I missed so far...
@Mr_Zurkon
The games just give you items pertaining to legendaries and event Pokemon so once you transfer from older generations, you can still make use of their abilities.
For instance, there weren't any Shaymin distributions in Gen V but you could still get a Gracidea for having Shaymin in your party.
Where should I introduce this code?
@NinjaAceTrainer Exactly same for me. That's the only one I missed. I hope there will be a second chance.
