Please note that defeating the Elite 4 in HGSS will cause any and all defeated Legends to respawn with new IVs and natures.

Pokémon that can only be obtained from an event (be it in-game or by a sponsored distribution of some sort) are listed below. You will find various types of data pertinent to these Pokémon including, but not limited to: how to obtain, level, moves known and stat ranges.

Tanabata10 Jirachi

This Jirachi was distributed at various locations in Japan and over Wi-Fi from June 19th to July 17th, 2009 for DPPt with OT NZ and ID 06199.

Latin American (specifically locations in Mexico and Brazil) during various periods between February 7th to March 14th, 2010 with OT PKLATAM and ID 03010.

North American distributions occured at GameStop stores from February 27th to March 17th, 2010 with OT GAMESTP and ID 02270.

When this Jirachi is traded over to HGSS it will unlock a special PokéWalker course called Edge of the Night Sky.

TRU Arceus

This Arceus was distributed via Wi-Fi in Japan from July 18th to September 30th for DPPt game cards with OT えいがかん and ID 07189.

Austalia had it distributed at KMart and EB Games stores from November 6th to the 16th with OT Michina and ID 11059.

Various countries in Europe recieved at different intervals starting February 17th and ending April 11th with OT Michina and ID 02010.

It was distributed at Toys'R'Us stores in the United States from November 7th to the 15th with OT TRU and ID 11079.

When this Arceus is traded over to HGSS it will unlock an event in the Ruins of Alph. This event is available as soon as you reach the Ruins of Alph and have the Arceus in your game. By taking it there you will be escorted to the Ruins and then transported to a new special area called the Sinjoh Ruins.

At the Sinjoh Ruins you will meet up with Cynthia from Sinnoh. She is doing research on myths and legends and Sinjoh is just the place for her to be doing work because the Sinjoh Ruins are said to be a combination of Johto's Ruins of Alph and Sinnoh's Spear Pillar (why not the Solaceon Ruins?).

She will take you to an ancient cavern where a special event involving the Sinnoh Dragon trio will occur. More on that below. Watch the video on our YouTube, here.

Sinnoh's Dragon Trio

Continuing the Arceus event from above you will be able to decide which of Sinnoh's Dragons you would like to birth from an egg that Arceus will create. They will each hatch naturally at level 1, which provides you with the unique opportunity to raise one of these Legends from birth!

Giratina will come with the Griseous Orb, making it the Origin Forme. If you do not pick this Giratina there will be no other way to have Origin Forme Giratina in HGSS, so it may be the best choice of the three but hey, Dialga and Palkia have their own advantages and fans.

Enigma Stone Lati@s

The Enigma Stone was available for distribution via Wi-Fi in Japan from November 27th to January 11th, 2009 for HGSS game cards.

It was also distributed in Australia, Europe and North America from July 31st, 2010 to August 27th, 2010.

Once the item has been recieved from Wi-Fi and picked up in any PokéMart go to Pewter City's Museum. Talk to the lone scientist in the far right of the museum. Steven Stone from Hoenn will show up and the rest of the event will play on its own. During the event the Enigma Stone will be transformed into the Soul Dew item which can be attached to the Eon Pokémon found in your game.

You will be able to save and even leave the Lati@s until you are ready to battle it.

Pikachu-Colored Pichu

The Shokotan Pichu was distributed in Japan via Wi-Fi from June 19th to August 31st, 2009 with OT しょこたん and ID 06199 to DPPt game cards.

It was distributed in America through GameStop locations from January 30th to February 14th, 2010 with OT GAMESTP and ID 01300. A seperate Wi-Fi distribution was held from March 5th to March 25th with OT SPR2010 and ID 03050.

Spring 2010 Pichu was distributed via Wi-Fi from March 5th to March 25th, 2010 with variations of OT PRI2010 and the ID 03050.

Commonly referred to as Pikachu-Colored Pichu, when transferred to HGSS it will unlock a special kind of Pichu. For more on that, read on below.

Spiky-eared Pichu

Spiky-eared Pichu is a special type of Pichu that is said to have gotten its special ear from time traveling with its friend, Celebi. This Pichu can be obtained by first obtaining the Pikachu-Colored Pichu. By taking the PC Pichu, as the lead Pokémon in your party and with an open spot in your team, to the shrine Ilex Forest the Spiky-eared Pichu will appear. It will race around momentarily with your PC Pichu before deciding to join your party.

It is ok to evolve PC Pichu before activating this event. While Spiky-eared Pichu has some unique moves (Volt Tackle, which is generally only obtainable via breeding and Pain Split which otherwise can't be learned by the Pichu family) it does have a drawback. It is because of its travels with Celebi that Spiky-eared Pichu cannot evolve. As well, it cannot be traded at all.

You can learn the entire backstory for this Pichu by taking it to Professor Elm's Lab.
