Weekly Wrap Up is our end of the week digest of smaller news stories that are just as important, but didn’t get a dedicated post. If you’d like to get real time updates about what’s mentioned here you can follow our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages. Here’s what you missed from September 18th to September 24th!
Ash Hat Pikachu Event
- Quick reminder that the Original Ash Hat Pikachu is available via Mystery Gift until tomorrow (September 25th) using the code PIKACHU20. This Pikachu wears the original hat Ash wore in the anime while traveling through Kanto and Johto, and comes with the moves Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Thunder and Agility. Remember, you can only choose one of the Ash Hat Pikachu via this method. More details on the Ash Hat Pikachu distribution can be found on its dedicated post
Marshadow Distribution
- For those in Europe, more distribution details have been revealed:
- Belgium – September 30th to October at the GameForce event
- Netherlands – October 7th & 8th at the 1st abd Firstlook event
- Spain – Amazon Spain will be distributing codes for Marshadow alongside pre-orders for Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Pokkén Tournament DX
- Special codes to get clothes for your in-game avatar have been revealed via multiple official channels! These codes work across all regions, are redeemable through the Special Code feature of the game, and come in pairs – one code for masculine style avatars, and one for feminine style avatars:
- TC2JY22VBQUU (M) & J7XEEQLYNDMT (F) – These codes provide 20 T-Shirts, one for each playable Pokémon in the game, minus Shadow Mewtwo
- NQLMEMRGX37X (M) & 6GSSALLDM9RL (F) – These codes give the player leather jackets
Takara Tomy USUM Z-Ring Toy
- New images have surfaced online showing three new Z-Crystal attachments used with the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Takara Tomy Z-Ring toy that will be available at its release on November 17th. The red Z-Crystal appears to be Lycanium Z, while the yellow Z-Crystal is most likely representing Kommoium-Z. Based on its purple color it’s safe to say that the middle one is related to a Ghost-type – most likely Mimikyu when looking at USUM’s first trailer. This is evidence to suggest that even more exclusive Z-Moves will be revealed for, and be available in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Pokémon The Movie: I Choose You!
- More international show timings have been added for the 20th Anniversary film on the official Fathom Events website! Book your tickets while you can – theaters are filling up quickly!

Check out the official Pokémon merchandise that was either revealed, leaked or is now available for purchase this week:
that furret looks… off
I THOUGHT SO TOO LMAO
The USUM trailer, the poster, VC Gold and Silver, Pokken DX, the Pikachu event, this sure was a fun week 😛
And the Zoroark GX looks cool :0
All that Mimikyu merch ? ? ? defo getting a Z-Move
Was the UK distribution for Marshadow revealed at any point?
Nope, only for these 3 countries and america
That sucks, thanks tho
Unfortunately we only have confirmed dates and locations for the US and the countries mentioned in this post. All we have info wise for the UK is that the distribution will take place from October 1st to November 14th – not details on where yet.

That’s a good long while, hopefully since it’s that long it’ll be WiFi or GAME distributing. Thanks!
I think we are still getting news on the 29th right?
A demo from Milan which may or may not have news.
Maybe or maybe not, at best it’ll just be another House Party but in italian instead of german
Being Italian will make it better though. Got your pals Mario and Luigi.
Hausparty is forbidden.
3.4 hauses of partying
Might have to restart Yellow to get a Bulbasaur just for its HA
porygon nicknames? :0
Dott

Res
Data

Epilep- nah too inappropriate 😡
Too perfect you mean. lol
Trojan Duck
Why? It sounds funny
I know it’s inaccurate but it’s wonderful
I only name my Porygon’s and Evolutions “Cyber”
Agh, I just had a weird ringing in my ear
Damn…busy week for Pokémon news. (not complaining tho)
New info 100% coming on the 29th
source?
My gut and i stalk Paul Ryan/pokeshopper on twitter
As awesome as he is I dunno. I am sure the demo will be neat but I don’t know if it will be “exciting” or whatever.
Is a demo confirmed? Most third games don’t have Demo’s I think
A live demo, not a downloadable demo.
Oh gotcha that would make more sense than a downloadable one
Yeah I was confused the first time myself.
Told y’all
Johto Alolan forms please?
I’m not to sure. I feel like if we were gonna get news we wouldn’t have gotten anything this past Friday. Seems a bit odd to do news two weeks in a row given the way they’ve released info this time aorund
They gotta make up for the awful marketing theyve had so far
I’d love it if we did get something, but I’ll hold my expectations back a little
Ok so many things I want to say about this weeks stuff. First once agin that new USUM poster is so FIRE. Love it. Second that Mimikyu Plush is totes amazing. I’m not sure what I want more, The regular one or the Shiny one. third I LOVE the Sentret and Furret plushes!!!! They’re of my favorite Johto mons so I’ll definitely want to get them if I can! And finally HOLD UP they released ACTUAL CARTRIDGES FOR gs IN JAPAN?!?!?!?! Now THAT is hot. I’m so jelly. That said I still have my original Silver cartridge so I suppose I’m not too sad hahaha
https://youtu.be/rMkVaTj77o0
Ok so frustrated…..How is it possible my Red version cartridge still has a good enough battery to hold a save, but my Silver doesn’t……? If Silver had a good save I might just forego buying the VC versions and just play the old school cart……
Not sure if you know, but you can actually replace the battery within the cartridges quite easily and cheaply!
I know…..I may do that. Gotta find the right screwdriver to do if first. Seems to be a bolt kind of ting that’d need a special driver
Silver has the ingame clock that drains the battery a lot faster! That’s why all cartridges died after seven years.
That makes sense.
Because of that rule, I can’t catch my Snorunt in Emerald (which caused my team to decline so quickly and made me need to use Rayquaza) : (
Just to potentially hype up the 29th, what’s your favorite type combo, and make an Alola form for it ?
Electric/Dark, because those are my 2 favourite typings
And an Alolan form would be the Luxray line
That idea has a pH of 14
Ghost/Fighting
Ummm, a dead Primeape? I’m not good at this lol
Fairy/Ghost
Let’s fix misdreivous
Why isn’t it already Fairy it’s based on an type of fairy ?
Interesting question.
Mmm..
maybe dragon water if so I’d like an Alolan Dragonite or Goodra!
What’s the 29th? And I guess my favorite would be Dark/Water and Alolan Weavile
Fairy/Poison Slurpuff, had to eat trash because it couldn’t establish itself in the current ecosystem
Ice/Electric i guess..
Hmmm maybe…Alolan Luxray? Idk
Electric/Dark Alolan Blitzle and Zebstrika.
Electric/Dark Alolan Rapidash (storm themed)
I think that would be good for Electric/Ice or Electric/Flying (Pegasus or freezing ice crystal sort of thing).
Flying/Fairy Rapidash is superior ?
What would you guys suggest my final team in Kalos be, currently rotating all of these
I have…
-Zard Y, Gren, Lb Pikachu, Vivillon, Skiddo
Doublade, Dedenne, Amaura, Pancham, Talonflame & Skrelp
– Tauros and Mienfoo at the daycare
– Lapras/Snorlax/Flabebe/Goomy which I’m not currently using..
May consider Noivern or Klefki
Suggestions welcome!
Are you looking to cut down to six? Or keep rotating?
As in final team for say e4/end game stuff
but will probably still rotate occasionally
For a Team of 6 to take with you I suggest
Greninja, Charizard Y, Aurorus, Gogoat, Noivern and Pangoro
Anyone else think that Necrozma wings of dawns back looks, off
Just the very weird back of Necrozma’s head on Lunala’s back just looks dumb and weird
They should’ve split it like they did on Dusk Mane
And put them where then?
Maybe in between the spikes on its wings
Idk I think that would look weird and messy, but that’s my opinion
Rocket thrusters on the back ?
Nah I think maybe quarter it and distribute it along the back of the wings
Exactly
Yeah like, why didn’t they split it like they did with Solgaleo? It’s going to look so weird in-game 🙁
i kinda like it
Wow I thinked I manager to make a drawing of Inci that I kinda like (the photo quality is bad tho) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bba43e99e0871f84519075758aa361f0c58b4dd0a50dedd8a002ed19918e07af.jpg
For a moment I thought it had sunglasses
…that’d be cool
Why aren’t there any art with Inci wearing sunglasses? In fact, there should be art of every pokemon wearing sunglasses
Someone make a ROM hack that just makes every single mon wear sunglasses
ok
I just saw these golden Mimikyu, Sableye and Chandelure thingy (necklace perhaps?) and I gotta say it looks awesome :0
Guess – the purple Z-Move isn’t Mimikyu, as Pokemon specific Z-crsytals tend to match the colour of the Pokemon, not their type.
Uh then what else Pkm it could be from. It’s more likely from an Alolan pkm and the only purple ones are Tapu Fini and Lunala. I thought it could be for an upcoming dawn form but the fact that Dusk’s move is usable with every Lycan form then I don’t find it likely either 🙁
Could be a Toxapex Z move. It’s purple too right? that’d be pretty baller actually
I mean…..it’s main body is purple anyway……..XP
Uh, just thinking of what kind of OP Z-move this OP pkm will get already gives me a headache. Like it wasn’t strong enough already
Z Baneful Bunker for the win!!!
Crobatium ?
I’d gladly take that
Rowlet has spent to long in Ash’s bag….NOW IT TOO IS A BAG!!!! You are where you live I guess hahaha https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/96fb31ba7647e218d225322dcdef54158cf25c6b5b2f4940689f2d60193e2d16.jpg
I think we will find out who the third crystal belongs during the event on this Friday. Anyone else agrees or disagrees? Also I have returned back to my university after my surprise break. I am about to challenge the 4th gym leader in Silver and my team is Quilava, Jigglypuff, and Heracross (all level 25). Although you might as well consider it a team of the first two; I found out after facing Silver that Heracross can barely do anything against ghost types right now, even one that it is 10 levels higher than. For me, I feel like this one will be more difficult than the 3rd gym.
Flashback to when I thought Rowlet was the thing in nebby’s bag
I MEAN LILLIE’S BAG
Haha I remember that. So weird how people thought they’d keep such a thing a secret
I think it was because they showed that Hau picked the Starter weak to you. And people are less likely to believe that a legendary is in a bag than the starter that is strong to you. Thus, people thought that she was the surprise rival-when in reality it was Kukui all along.
Flashback to when people thought it was Squishy in the bag
Or when people thought it was a Zygarde core.
Hahahaha so fool of us thinking that Zygarde was going to be relevant in SM
hahaha….
Bloeergghhhhh Earthen got thrashed by purely savage waves…
But I’m still sad that all my replays are all gone forever…they might comeback in a month or several
Well I’m too tired and have sand in my brain and lungs so that can wait for a little bit
Once Friday hits it’s officially 7 weeks until USUM
Ground is weak to water after all
So close… Yet so far…. Least I got Moon and Silver to occupy me for a bit and then P5 and XC
And my halfday at school and Yokai Watch 2 Psychic Specters comes out
Dropping some knowledge on Pokemon’s badass blue beetle
https://youtu.be/RKrTO71_Slk
Im crazy enough to shiny hunt for one
Ack I hate it’s shiny, I’m so sick of blue Pokemon getting purple magenta shinies
http://rs694.pbsrc.com/albums/vv308/Last_Raizuke/Pokemon%20sprites/HeracrossScizor.png~c200
thats ugly
Anything is better than that stupid purple pink
Pink is better
Bleh
You mean this isn’t about Karrablast?
Tfw you hacked all 3 starters

If it’s not Lusamine then who is she helping? :0
Maybe this man?
http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/204/944/8b9.jpg
Helping Guzma……
I’m definitely not liking these games if they make me do that
You already do in USUM
*SuMo
So Kuppo hates SuMo
I hate everything
Even me?
Not as much ;3
Jk you can’t hate the unheatable
Especially you
Same
I never noticed so
At least she’s getting dialogue changes
R.I.P crazy bitch Lusamine
I loved you
This’s racism against Aether Foundation.
nope i uhh… really dont think it is, bud
I mean, she kinda seems nice in the anime, but it seems like the nice-but-actually-evil kind of nice.
She seemed nice before she showed her true colors in SuMo?
It seems u like 4chan
Eh I dunno about that. It seems more like she is more confident in herself which makes sense considering the poster with her potentially being a trainer.
