To kick off the year, The Pokemon Company has announced a new promotion for Pokemon Sun/Moon and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon players. Owners of the 3DS games will be able to pick up a free Legendary Pokémon nearly every month throughout 2018.
The “Year of Legendary” promotion starts in February and will run through November. Further details on how to claim the free Pokemon will be released closer to the time. If previous events are anything to go by, Nintendo will partner with retailers to distribute the freebies or make them available via online redeemable codes.
