The highly anticipated Pokémon Celebi distribution event has gone live ahead of schedule, now available for trainers across Europe, Australia, and the United States.
Fans of the Pokémon series can now add the rare Mythical Pokémon Celebi to their collections in Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby, and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire for a limited time, following on from February’s Mew distribution event. Running until Thursday, March 24th, this special event gives another generation of Nintendo 3DS owners the chance to capture Celebi, a dual Psychic and Grass-type Pokémon that first captivated players in the classic Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver versions for the Game Boy Color.
Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, Celebi is best known for its signature ability, Natural Cure, and a unique set of moves including Confusion, Recover, Heal Bell, and Safeguard—faithful to the original moveset from its debut appearance. Players cannot encounter Celebi in the wild during normal gameplay, making this distribution event an invaluable opportunity.
To receive Celebi on their Nintendo 3DS system, users should follow these steps: 1.
Launch Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire. 2.
Navigate to the main menu, select 'Mystery Gift.' 3.
Choose 'Receive Gift' and then 'Get Via Internet.' 4.
Follow on-screen instructions to download Celebi and pick it up at an in-game Pokémon Center. This global distribution event is part of the ongoing celebration of the Pokémon franchise’s anniversary, offering special access to Mythical Pokémon throughout the year via similar promotions.
According to official statements from The Pokémon Company, these events are designed to thank longtime fans and introduce newer trainers to legendary creatures historically unavailable in standard gameplay. Following March’s Celebi giveaway, the next in the distribution series is Jirachi, scheduled for release in April.
These initiatives serve as a reminder of Nintendo’s commitment to keeping their legacy titles for the Nintendo 3DS and the Pokémon eShop ecosystem active and rewarding for dedicated players. Be sure to claim your Celebi before the event concludes on March 24th, and stay tuned for updates on upcoming Pokémon distribution events via official Nintendo Direct announcements and the Pokémon Company’s news channels.
