Pokémon trainers in America, here’s your chance to finally pick up a legitimate Deoxys for your copy of Pokémon Diamond or Pearl. For two very special weekends, GameStop, EB Games and Software Etc. will be having the legendary Deoxys for download! Are you interested? Then head over to your local games store between June 20-22, or June 27-29, to receive your very own shape-shifting Pokémon!
The GameStop Deoxys will be holding a NeverMeltIce and possess the following moves, one from each of its forms:
As with every other Pokémon giveaway, be sure to have a PokéDex in your game and an empty Wonder Card slot. If you don’t live in the United States, it doesn’t hurt to bother a friend who does. After all, what’s the internet for anyway?

I assume it’s in the form shown in that graphic, but is there any way to change form in D/P?

@Kyattsuai: Make your way to the eastern part of Veilstone City and examine the meteorites. Each of the four meteorites will change your Deoxys to a different form. Have fun with that!

Wait, it says that we need a wonder card or something. How do we get that?

Also, which attack is the “normal” form and which is the “attack” form? The Defense and speed attacks are obvious…but the rest are not.

So anyone live in the states that want to get one for me?
(I live in Canada)
Carlo - 06.18.08 10:10 am
@CARLO: yeah sure, email me and ill trade you one.
@MICHAEL: you really just need your Pokédex. you get wondercards when you d/l stuff, so in my case, i downloaded Manaphy, Electivire and Darkrai and i needed to erase a wondercard to download. they are just details on the download like time and day and where.
@D~N: you can use all the attacks regardless of what ‘forme’ u have—its Deoxys that is actually changing formes. Look it up. in his defense form, his head becomes more protected; kinda cool.

By Pokedex, do you mean the basic one you get early on, or the national pokedex later in the game? I never really finished Pearl because finals came up, and I restarted recently.
I’m going to enjoy the look of utter confusion on the face of my local Gamestop guy when I go in to preorder Unreal Tournament 3 for 360 while downloading Deoxys for my copy of Pokemon Pearl

The one you get early on. It takes about 20 minutes to get. A fair warning for people unfamiliar with the series who think they can just buy the game and download the rare pokemon.

20 minutes is better than the who-knows-how-many-hours it takes to get the national one
. Thanks for info.

Hello
I would like one too if any of you can,

@RAMEN I sent a message to the e-mail that appears on the page that your name links to.

“who-knows-how-many-hours it takes to get the national one”
– It’s about 15-20 hours of gameplay if you get a high level (L70+) Pokémon via the trading center early on; getting the National Dex is “beating (the storyline part of) the game”, and I’d imagine that Nintendo wants people who have not “beaten the game” to be able to download and use the Deoxys for beating the game. I am, however, more than a little surprised that they aren’t making the Deoxys go to Pal Park (which *does* require the National Dex) for collection, since transferring Pokémon from previous games requires that, and there are equally rare Pokémon acquired through that method.

Damn it!
Yet again U.K. fans miss out again! The last event we had here was for Mew and was incredibly badly advertised, I heard nothing from Nintendo,(I’m signed up for emails etc.). All of my friends missed it, although to be fair a 200 mile round trip to the place closest to me may be a little excessive even for a mew.
I resigned to yet again never being able to complete my pokedex, a Darkrai event hasn’t been mentioned yet!
Right I’m off for a cup of tea and a good old grumble!

I’ve nearly got them all and I’ve spent an obscene amount of time on each of the Pokemon games.

Chris - 06.22.08 4:40 am
i’m not a hacker, it’s a legitimate shiny deoxys. why would i brag about something i conjured up in 10 seconds?
luet - 06.22.08 5:09 pm
@ Luet
Which event did you get it from? Relative date and place, please. Using warp codes doesn’t count.
