Regigigas event coming March 8 and Shaymin event coming February 8!!!!



Regigigas will once again be given away in preparation for the release of Pokémon Platinum, similarly to how it was given away in Japan last year. Toys "R" Us stores all over the United States will give away the Regigigas from March 8-21, with Platinum being released on the 22nd. It will be in a Cherish Ball and will be at level 100 holding a Custap Berry. Regigigas will also know the moves Crush Grip, along with the special moves Icy Wind, Iron Head and Rock Slide, moves that can only be learned through move tutors in Platinum. 

This special Regigigas is capable of unlocking special locations in Pokémon Platinum where players may catch the legendary Pokémon Regice, Registeel and Regirock at level 30. These three Legendary Golems may then be used to awaken the Regigigas found at the Snowpoint Temple. The Regigigas in Platinum is at level 1, unlike in Diamond and Pearl.


Earlier this week, Toys "R" Us created a Facebook event page for a Shaymin giveaway to be held Feb. 8-14 in participating U.S. stores. Players of Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can obtain Shaymin from in-store DS Download Stations. The store will also distribute a coupon for $5 off any Pokémon Nintendo DS game and a free Pokémon poster. As usual with Toys "R" Us events, this Shaymin will be caught in a Cherish Ball. Shaymin will know Seed Flare, Aromatherapy, Substitute, and Energy Ball, and will hold a Micle Berry. 
 

However, Toys "R" Us deleted the event listing today. This came after Pokemon.com posted an announcement that it will reveal the event on Thursday. The Pokemon.com announcement did not give any details about the event, only that there would be one. However, Pokemon.com has also deleted its page about the event.
