As we've now hit the start of another month, another mythical Pokémon distribution has begun in honour of the franchise's 20th anniversary. This time 'round Darkrai is up for grabs, but like with Mew before it you'll need to get a special serial code from a participating retail shop in order to obtain Darkrai on your games.

From May 1st until May 24th visit a Gamestop in the United States, EBGames in Canada and Australia/New Zealand, or GAME in the United Kingdom to receive a serial code for Darkrai. As per usual, Darkrai can then be downloaded via the Mystery Gift menu onto a copy of Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby, or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.

The stats for this Darkrai are so:

Ooh I'm gonna need this :o though I'll prolly have to ask a friend to help me get a serial code, there isn't really a gamestop within walking distance from my apartment and I'd feel awkard asking dad to drive to one just for the code ^^;
 
Shame I wasn't able to transfer my Darkrai due to being unable to pay in dollars for the Pokemon Bank, but luckily this'll allow me to get one agai-

No, you sadly cannot. Certain Pokemon are being distributed in stores. Jirachi and Celebi were over WiFi but Mew - like Darkrai now - was only available with the serial codes (which can only be obtained by visiting the participating store in your region).

Is your issue getting to one of the stores, or is it that you're not sure which to get it from? :)
 
When I tried to get the Darkrai, I got a Zygarye
They made a post about this SOME where an I can't seem to find the post I was reading. (might have ben on tumblr- honestly)

I didn't work today and I wasn't informed of this event either! (GameStop Employee) so I'm going down tomorrow to get my share of codes!

Side note: I also read that some places are only giving one-per-person due to limit stock. Has anyone else seen this??
