To celebrate the release of Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You, Sun and Moon players will have their pick of one of six special Pikachu that are being given away via download code. Starting today, fans can choose Pikachu wearing Ash Ketchum's original Trainer Hat from his time in Kanto and Johto, and it is available from now until September 25th. On top of that, the Pikachu comes with a set of moves inspired by the ones used in the anime during that time.
To get Pikachu, do the following:
-
Select Mystery Gift on the main menu.
