I kind of cheated? :|
Not really, but I didn't know you could do this until today.
I brought all my 4th gen copies of Pokemon so I could have multiple Raikou's. Yes, I'm greedy like that.
I went and used my cousin's DS to save time because I didn't want to stand in Gamestop for awhile just switching cartridges.
I realized that when I got the first the notification on my cousin's DS and checked the Wonder Card, it has Entei's sprite.
Of course, I was like. WOT. I thought it was a glitch, but in fact my cousin's DS was dated to Jan. 21st of 2011 which allowed me to get Entei.
I was super excited to find this out because I live quite a distance from GS and didn't want to come back just to get Entei and Suicune.
After getting 3 beasts for each of my games in the 30 minutes + of staying in Gamestop(The Gamestop employees looked at me weird), I thought about the Celebi event and wondered if it worked, and yes.. it did.
If you don't want to constantly go back and forth, I suggest you do this. Just change the DS clock time to the date of the event Pokemon you want. :D
I'm doing this.
I live like 1 mile away from 3 different gamestops, so I'm there.
I'm also doing Kitrigar's trick :)
I'm also going to soft reset for a decent nature for each beast once I recieve the gift.
Got a 'lil question. If I receive a clone of any of the event pokemon (shiny beasts, Celebi or Ash's Pikachu) from someone, will it be legit? Will it activate special events in both HG/SS (in Celebi's case) & B/W (Zorua/Zoroark)?
The beasts come with a set nature.
Raikou - Rash Nature. (Sp.Atk + Sp.Def -)
Suicune - Relaxed Nature. (Def + Speed -)
Entei - Adamant Nature (Atk + Sp.Atk -)
So you'll be wasting your time D;
@jab2033, do you mind a trade of one batch of the beasts? I'm already pretty close to getting the Pal Pad in my HeartGold so I'll post it as soon as I can.
and to Jab2033, the clock on the Gamestop DS must be set to the different dates. The date on your DS shouldn't play a factor.
No most stores have it via wireless. So just click receive via Wireless.Do you have to have been connected by WIFI with your DS at one time or another? Cause Ive never had my DS hooked to wifi ever.
And that sucks about the clock thingy. I was gonna try to see if you could pick up pokemon of past events.
