If youre still playing Pokemon Sun or Moon (especially ahead of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moons release on November 17), you might want to know that you can get a free Legendary (or Mythical, depending on what you want to call it) Pokmon right now. By buying Pokemon Gold or Silver on the Nintendo eShop, youll be given a code that allows you to unlock a free Celebi in Pokemon Sun or Moon, the first way to get your very own Celebi in those games, bar trading it with friends.

Youre also able to wait, and use it in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if youd like to give yourself a bit of a headstart there. Its pretty simple to do, too. The instructions are as follows:

To get your code for Celebi -

Launch Nintendo eShop in your Nintendo 3DS System.
Select Menu in the top-left corner.
Select Settings/Other.
Select Account Activity.
Select View Receipt on your Pokemon Gold or Pokmon Silver purchase.
The serial code will be displayed in the purchase details.

To redeem your code in Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon:

Write down the code from your Pokmon Gold or Pokmon Silver game.
Select Mystery Gift on the main menu.
Select Receive Gift.
Select Get with Code/Password, then Yes, and then Yes again to connect to the internet.
Enter your code.
Watch as you receive Celebi.
Speak to the delivery person in any Pokemon Center to pick up Celebi.

Youve then got to save, or risk losing that Celebi forever, so, yknow, please do save your game afterwards.
This offer is running until September 31, 2018, with codes redeemable until October 31, 2018. No pressure to rush on it, then. Pokemon Gold and Silver are available to purchase on the Nintendo eShop now, for a more nostalgic Pokemon fix.
