Update (5 AM February 02, 2018): Update: The first distribution, involving Dialga and Palkia, has begun and runs to either the 23rd or 28th of February depending on country. Furthermore, this event has been announced to run via EB Games in Australia.

2018 seems to be set to be “the year of Legendary Pokémon” according to The Pokémon Company.

On a monthly basis, beginning February 2nd and ending November, players of Pokémon Sun, Pokémon Ultra Sun, Pokémon Moon or Pokémon Ultra Moon can go to participating stores to receive the counterpart of the legendary that is encountered in their game. In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, it will be level 60, whereas in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, they will be level 100. The Pokémon will also be holding a Gold Bottle Cap, which maxes out every IV stat.

It should also be noted that coming June, players will be able to receive a Shiny Zygarde, irrespective of game, a Pokémon that has otherwise been impossible to obtain until this point.

Here is the full schedule:

February: Dialga (Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon)/Palkia (Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun)
March: Regigigas (Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun)/Heatran (Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon)
April: Entei (Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun)/Raikou (Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon)
