Samurott (Shell armour) mystery gift
 
Anyone managed to claim Shell armour Samurott yet? (code - POKEMON503)

Nothing available in the UK yet, they had them first thing in the morning for the other two.

Howmander February 5th, 2015 2:54 AM

I just tried it myself, and when I entered the code, it said "the gift was not there..." however when I enter any other code it simply says "the code is incorrect. Please check your code" so that's weird. You'd think if it wasn't active they'd simply make it give the "incorrect code" message instead of saying the pokemon was not there.

Edit: I'm in Canada by the way

Oblox February 5th, 2015 2:54 AM

Yeah i got the same message, maybe they left the samurott pen door open last night...

Mᴀʀɪᴊᴜᴀɴᴀ February 5th, 2015 12:44 PM

I tried and I got "The Gift Was Not There"

I'm in US , Cali btw

Same here.

OP's thread saved me the trouble of making a similar thread, just when I was just wondering a short while ago, too.

Thanks, op.

RedJ February 5th, 2015 6:27 PM

Serebii's saying that the code for Samurott will be distributed via Pokemon Trainer Club Newsletter, which makes absolutely no sense but considering this is Game Freak/Nintendo we're dealing with, I'm not surprised.

...Unless Pokemon503 IS the code, in which case...I have no idea what's up.

SnowpointQuincy February 7th, 2015 2:33 PM

My Brother and I are wondering about this too. What is up. I'm signed up for the newsletter, but haven't gotten anything.

Pinkie-Dawn February 7th, 2015 2:48 PM

So I wasn't the only one who received the "gift wasn't there" message. I don't know what's the hold up for Shell Armor Samurott to which it warrants a special treatment. It doesn't have the best hidden ability compared to Serperior.

Howmander February 7th, 2015 3:09 PM

Someone said on a Facebook group that it was delayed until Feb 9 (no links or proof given, however!) but considering the trouble some people are STILL having with just getting into their club nintendo account, maybe nintendo servers are being swamped with traffic what with all the people trying to redeem their free games and stuff

blue February 8th, 2015 1:30 PM

Haven't tried this one yet, definitely going to download it soon though considering I've downloaded Serperior and Emboar already.

Venitardus February 8th, 2015 2:00 PM

I haven't gotten the newsletter yet and I'm signed up to get the newsletter. I can't wait to get it though.

Echocaz February 8th, 2015 3:55 PM

3 days later and still no Samurott. Just me, or everyone else too?

Everyone else, and it looks like the Samurott event is exclusive to the Pokémon Trainer Club Newsletter rather than via code distribution like the previous Unova starters.

That makes literally no sense...

The code for Samurott is POKEMON503 and you don't have to sign up for the newsletters but not sure why no-one is able to obtain Samurott yet

Which is normal for Game Freak/Nintendo these days. :P Although the code for Samurott was originally distributed via CoroCoro, so I guess this is a sort of equivalent to that.

From the official Pokemon website:

Quote:

Then, check back next week for Emboar, whose code will be available on Pokemon.com starting January 29, 2015. Later, be sure to check your email for the February Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter, which will include the code for Samurott.
They could've changed the code for all we know, which wouldn't make much sense...but again, it's Game Freak/Nintendo.

Echocaz February 9th, 2015 9:16 AM

I think the code works because it doesn't flag up an incorrect code message, it just says that the gift isn't there, which is a line I, personally, haven't seen before...

It makes sense that the code for Samurott is POKEMON503 considering it's number 503 in the pokedex as was Serperior was POKEMON497 (497 in pokedex) and Emboar was POKEMON500 (500 in pokedex)

Guys, try it now - I just got Samurott! POKEMON503 works!

Yep it's all working now

Meganium February 9th, 2015 11:02 AM

Can't wait to get my Samurott. I might soft reset it for a Female. On my first playthrough of B/W I got a female one on my first try. Let's hope I get a female the first time around. :D

SnowpointQuincy February 9th, 2015 11:16 AM

Like always, it isn't real until Serebii reports it. Finally we get Samurot. My brother was so mad when it didn't work before.

Volga February 9th, 2015 11:19 AM

I still can't get it, anybody have an idea why? I live in the US.

RedJ February 9th, 2015 12:12 PM

I just tried the code again and got the usual 'the gift wasn't there' message. Serebii's saying it's only live in Europe at the moment.

Circuit February 9th, 2015 12:47 PM

Yep, I just got mine (I live in Germany). Sorry to all you US players, you'll just have to wait a bit longer I guess :P

Megan February 9th, 2015 12:48 PM

Yep, Europe has it now. I just got mine.

Sheep February 9th, 2015 1:07 PM

Boo, still getting the "gift wasn't there" message. Hopefully it'll be available to us NA folks soon. :(

Foamster-Whiskey February 9th, 2015 1:17 PM

Why can't the code be available to everyone not just europe

SnowpointQuincy February 9th, 2015 1:37 PM

Come on Porygon! Fix the Internet Tubes already! We want our pokemaz!

This makes sense since they see time five hours or more before we do here.

SPP claims that it will be available in NA come a few more hours. Fingers crossed...

Drat, it's still not up for us NA folk! Guess I'll try again tomorrow...

~RNC~ February 9th, 2015 5:56 PM

I wished to goodness this would hurry up and let us here in the US get it already, I have been trying every day 3 and 4 times a day since the 5th and still nothing.

For us having the US versions, I believe we'll be able to get the Samurott later in 5 hours from this post of mine. :3
Or not. I think it's live now, for NA I think~

TCB February 9th, 2015 7:19 PM

It's now live. In my region of the world anyway.

What is your region of the world?

TCB February 9th, 2015 7:27 PM

My Location gives a hint as to where.

Spoiler:
North America

ars25 February 9th, 2015 7:29 PM

Just tried and i am able to get my Samurott

Ok thanks, as of now on the east coast of the US I just received my first samurott.

Echocaz February 9th, 2015 7:30 PM

America, you're live! At least NA is for definite

TCB February 9th, 2015 7:31 PM

I just noticed the OT is 'Present'. Hahaha.

Blueredemption February 9th, 2015 8:32 PM

Yep, just picked it up now :P Did anybody end up getting as newsletter with the code? Not that we needed it haha.

I guess now its just a waiting game for the johto starters.

Karma89 February 9th, 2015 8:34 PM

Just got my Samurott and i'm from the US.

Synful Kyn February 9th, 2015 8:40 PM

Yep, the code now works. Blueredemption, i never got the email either!

February 27 they begin.

I'm busy playing with the Smash update (sharing replays!), so busy ATM. Will check later.

Stormerbuzz35 February 10th, 2015 7:54 AM

Got my wonder card for it, just have to pick it up at the PC. I live in South Africa so I'm playing an EU version.

Pinkie-Dawn February 10th, 2015 8:26 AM

About time Samurott became available in the U.S.; now to check the recommended natures for it.

Sheep February 10th, 2015 10:41 AM

Ooh, it's out for us now? Awesome, guess I'll be SRing after I finish collecting flags. Already got my event Serperior and Emboar to lv. 100.. just one more to complete the set. 8'D

Cyclone February 10th, 2015 11:52 AM

Guess what just came in e-mail? For those not in the know, there will now be more downloads of the events.

the email was from nintendo or pokemon company?

Howmander February 10th, 2015 3:59 PM

Yeah I got that email too today (From the Pokemon company) I wonder why they not only waited so long to send out an email that was for all 3 starters, but if they were going to release them all in one email, but stagger their release? Why not just release all 3 in one day too?

Pendraflare February 10th, 2015 4:22 PM

Well it's good that we at least have all three starter events now, at least. But this one isn't as high priority for me although i'll be sure to get it soon.

I'll likely clone at least one of my sets. After I receive them and the Eon Ticket, anyway. That will let me add them to my Events directory.

Kameken February 10th, 2015 7:27 PM

Huh, just got the code for all three of these guys an hour ago.

I didn't know 'Murica was getting them.

Psyched for the samurott, and even the serperior. I doubt I'll use either competitively, though. Emboar is still terrible, I might just breed one just in case and give the original to a friend.

Spoiler:
Maybe off topic, but samurott has one of the best attack animations in ORAS, in my opinion. nothing beats those seamitars.

Oblivion Wing February 10th, 2015 11:05 PM

I got mine day one. Don't know why Nintendo, or Gamefreak, are having this problem though...

morrison February 11th, 2015 11:34 PM

got it. I like samurott.

Powerserge February 14th, 2015 10:26 PM

Definitely could've done with a better hidden ability. Doesn't even compare to the other genV starters'.

TheGhosteon February 16th, 2015 1:30 PM

I just now typed in, and received it just fine. Hooray, hidden ability Samurott! \;v;/
