Last Day To Get These Free Legendary Pokemon In Ultra Sun And Moon

The end of the month is quickly approaching, which means 3DS players only have a little time left to claim the first of this year's many free Pokemon in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Today, February 28, marks the last chance players can pick up a free download code from GameStop stores in the US, which will net you one of the cover monsters from Diamond and Pearl, Dialga and Palkia.

The download code can be redeemed in any seventh generation Pokemon title, and the Legendary you'll get depends on which version you're playing. Those with a copy of Ultra Sun or Sun will receive Palkia, while Ultra Moon and Moon players will get Dialga. Each Pokemon also comes at a different level and knows a slightly different moveset depending on your version. You can see what moves they'll know in each game at the bottom of this story.

As usual, you'll need to redeem the download code through the Mystery Gift feature from the games' main menu. After selecting Mystery Gift, choose the option to receive your gift via a code/password, and input the code you picked up from GameStop when prompted. After your Pokemon is downloaded into the game, you'll be able to claim it from the deliveryman waiting inside any of Alola's Pokemon Centers. You need to redeem your download code by May 28.

The Pokemon Company is giving away a different Legendary Pokemon every month in 2018 as part of its Year of Legendary Pokemon celebration. Next month, players will be able to receive another pair of Legendaries from Diamond and Pearl, Regigigas and Heatran, in the seventh generation titles. Unlike February's distribution, the code for those Pokemon will be given away in March's Pokemon Trainer Club newsletter, which you'll only receive if you create a free Trainer Club account on the Pokemon website and opt-in for the newsletter by March 1. You can create a Trainer Club account here.

You can see all of the other free Pokemon available right now for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in our roundup. In addition to those, Pokemon Go players can also catch a handful of Legendaries. Along with the recently added Rayquaza, players have another chance to get their hands on Groudon and Kyogre, which are returning to the mobile game until March 5.
