The grand finale

Lugia and Ho-Oh bring the year of Legendary Pokemon to a close

2018 has been a year of legendary proportions, what with all of these rare Pokemon flitting about. Sadly, the festivities are about to draw to a close. Ho-Oh and Lugia, who made their debut in Pokemon Gold and Silver respectively, are the final Legendary Pokemon that will be coming to Pokemon Sun and Moon (and their Ultra versions) for a limited time.

Ho-Oh will be available to players with a copy of Pokemon Moon or Ultra Moon, while fans with Pokemon Sun or Ultra Sun will be able to nab a Lugia. Codes are being given out at Game stores in the UK and at GameStop in Ireland from November 2 - 25. Folks in the US can also pay a visit to their local GameStop stores on the same dates to receive a code.
