Distribution events can range from “oh I just conveniently log into my device and grab it online” to “damn, I have to find/go to a GameStop in an era where they shut down a ton of their stores.” Pretty obvious which one wins out! Thankfully,this new Zarude and Shiny Celebi distribution eventdoes not involve any store-bounding requirement.

So there’s a few bits of news here that serve as the primer for this story. The Pokemon Company just announced thatPokemon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, featuring the newishZarude, will be coming to Netflix on October 8. But as usual, the new mythical creature will be distributed outside of the game.

Zarude

The other bonus is that you’ll also get a shiny Celebi for your troubles. The opt-in promotion includes both a Zarude and a Celebi: this one sports a natural cure ability, lucky egg held item, and magical leaf, future sight, life dew, and heal bell moves.

You haveroughly two more weeksto opt into emails to grab your Zarude and Celebi. May as well do it!
