Legendary Pokémon

English Mewtwo Wi-Fi Distribution

The official Pokémon website has announced a new Wi-Fi event for all English language Black and White games. The Pokémon distributed this time is the mighty Mewtwo and it is expected to have the same moveset as the one distributed in Japan last year. Thus, it will probably be at level 70, with its normal ability, Pressure, King's Rock as its held item and the moves Psystrike, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere and the previously unobtainable Electro Ball. It will come in a Cherish Ball while having a Premier Ribbon attached. The event will start on February 12th, the end date hasn't been announced yet.

What's with Mewtwo being in the spotlight so much lately? Apart from the event, Mewtwo is also the star of the new TCG set, Next Destinies, that will be released on February 8th.

Update: Mewtwo's moveset and held item have been confirmed, it's the same one as the japanese one as we predicted.

Yesterday, the japanese variety show Oha Suta aired the first teaser trailer of the upcoming Pokémon movie. The 30-second clip shows the Musketeer trio, Cobalion, Virizion and Terrakion as well as Kyurem and also revealed the title of the movie, "Kyurem VS the Sacred Swordsmen" [キュレムVS聖剣士]. Although it's not confirmed yet, we can assume that the Sacred Swordsman is probably going to be Keldeo as the common pattern in the previous years is that unreleased Pokémon are first revealed in the movies.

In other news, the fourth (and last) seasonal Deerling C-Gear skin has become available internationally via the Pokémon Global Link, concluding the 4-month promotion that started in September. The password needed in order to receive the skin is not known yet but it won't be long till it's revealed.
