Ever wanted to get your hands on Shiny versions of Pokemon, especially Legendary types? GAME UK is organizing special character giveaways in stores starting from August 30th in celebration of the upcoming release of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y for the Nintendo 3DS.
Shiny versions of Pokemon are denoted by their differing colour during gameplay. As such, they are extremely rare and difficult to catch. Legendary types are especially difficult – you’d be hard-pressed to ever find a Shiny type. The Pokemon in question for GAME UK’s giveaways include Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Distribution dates are as follows:
Shiny Dialga – August 30th to September 12th
Shiny Palkia – September 13th to September 26th
Shiny Giratina – September 27th to October 11th
The Legendary Pokemon will be available to those who own Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 or White 2 can bring their copies to GAME UK outlets for a chance to obtain their favourite Shiny Pokemon. Keep in mind: Only one Shiny for each customer. Pokemon X & Y will be out this October for the 3DS.
