'Pokémon Sun and Moon' Free Pikachu Promo Comes With Sinnoh Baseball Cap
"Pokémon Sun and Moon" players have another pet to complete their limited-edition Pikachu collection. It's time for the Sinnoh region to be featured in this week's Pikachu giveaway, and the electric mouse returns with a stylish hat to represent.
This Pikachu giveaway is still part of the Pokemon Company's celebration of 20 years of "Pokémon," which will culminate in the release of the "Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!" in select theaters, as they posted a news update on Tuesday, Oct. 3.
This new pet will be the third of their themed Pikachu Giveaway and will feature the Sinnoh region, part of the Pokémon world where the "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl" took place. Accordingly, Pikachu will come to Trainers wearing a cap in the red and charcoal Sinnoh colors, complete with a Pokéball emblem in blue at the front.
To complete the motif, this Pikachu comes with moves that were first introduced in the "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl." The electric mouse joins the team as a Level 9 Male Pikachu with the Hardy trait and the Static ability, and already knows four moves: Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail and Volt Tackle.
The steps to claim this free Pikachu is much like those of the earlier giveaways. Players should launch their "Pokémon Sun and Moon" game and select Mystery Gift on the main menu. After that, they need to select Receive Gift, then Get with Code/Password, and confirm Yes twice to connect to the Internet.
The code for this giveaway is PIKACHU20. Players should be able to get their new Pikachu from the delivery guy at a Pokémon center, and then save the game.
This Pikachu will only be around from Oct. 3 up to Monday, Oct. 9. Three more Pikachus with hats are to be given away after that, for the Unova, Kalos, and Alola regions in that order, according to Gamespot.
The video below shows the "Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!" trailer, which has just been revealed by Pokémon. The movie comes to select theaters on Nov. 5 and 6.
