What are the odds that Diancie will be given away as a Mystery Gift at some point this year in X/Y and OR/AS?

I was just looking up Pokemon I needed and I didn't even realize it was given away last year already.

Very low. Diancie has been given away in a Serial Code event in late 2014 and a Wi-Fi event in mid 2015. Mythicals are only usually distributed a maximum of twice in their debut generation in NA/EU. The only real possibility that it will be distributed again in Gen 6 is if the Shiny Diancie event from Japan comes to the west. I wouldn't say that's very likely though.
 
Will there likely be any other way to get the legendary birds? I never received the newsletter and support said there was nothing they could do to help.

I thought I didn't get it either, but when I searched my email for Moltres it showed up. Might be worth a try unless you've done that already.
 
You can catch them in virtual console Red/Blue/Yellow, can't you? We're getting to trade them to the Pokemon Bank at a later time if I recall.

I went and asked from couple of stores today, and got some mixed information. Two stores said that Darkrai's distribution has been pushed back to May 18th, and one store even said that this time it'll only be available with the purchase of the card pack. Although that last one was probably thinking about download code for TGC...

Anyway, I'm in Finland specifically. Can someone from Sweden/Norway/Denmark share their experience?

Yeah, it's been pushed back for a reason unknown to me, I'll update the post shortly.

Edit: As for that last one, it's not true. The codes are free but some individual stores ignore the rules and try to make people buy things from them.

This defeats the purpose of mythical/legendary status.
Click to expand...

People get way too caught up in the value/status system of mythicals/legendaries. For one, legendaries are made available in every single game that has been sold. Deoxys/Rayquaza/Xerneas/Yveltal/etc. are in every single cartridge of ORAS and XY respectively. By definition this makes less valuable than one thinks.

Also, making mythicals hard to find is only going to promote Pokemon-Genning, hacking, or injecting pk files just to get the Pokedex entry/competitive battling.

Not sure why people still get so caught up into status and value. Seriously.
 
Sorry, does anyone have any extra US codes for whatever Pokemon? I didn't even realize this was happening until I picked up Y today. Gamestop said they're not allowed to give out the older promotion codes :(

only multiple games.

Or if you're willing to wipe your save. If you had a sacrificial cart, you could download the Wonder Card, collect the Pokemon, toss it up to the Bank, then wipe the save and do it again.

From a new file, it takes like eight or ten minutes to get to the first Pokemon Center in ORAS if you're really speedy. Add on four or five minutes for the bank. Then another minute or so to wipe and redownload the Wonder Card. If you really wanted to stockpile them, you could crank out like three or four an hour.
 
The Gift for the upcoming Johto Battle Competition will be Whitney's Miltank. You can register for the competition from the 19th to the 26th of May and it will be held from the 27th to the 29th.
 
Damnit, I just realized I missed Jirachi last month and I actually don't have one at all. Anyone willing to trade one for a Darkrai code or any of the past months event Pokemon?

Just curious but why wasn't the Zygarde shiny? Do they intend to keep it super rare? I'm still thinking perfect Zygarde is related to sun and moon.
Click to expand...

I think this is meant to be one of the specific Zygarde from the anime, neither of which are shiny.

Perhaps there's a little flag hidden in there somewhere, and the ones native to XY are all red core while this one is the blue core.
 
I'd like to put my hand up for an NA Darkrai code! I'm not in the US, so I have no way to get it otherwise. I have a spare Jirachi I could trade in return.

I also missed out on the Wi-Fi Zygarde, so I'm looking for that as well.
