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.

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
Need a specific Berry? I have literally every kind. Need a Friend Safari HA pokemon? I have them all. Need a gen 1 - 3 (and a few from gen 4) Move Tutor Egg Move that can no longer be obtained? I might be able to help. Drop me a DM if you need anything and maybe I can help!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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:

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.

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)

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
