As part of Pokemon's 20th Anniversary, the good people at Nintendo and Game Freak have been making various Legendary Pokemon available for free downloads. Throughout the year, they have given out everything from Mew to Genesect.  Often these downloads required customers to go to Gamestop and get free download codes. To wrap off the year, Nintendo has announced two last Legendaries as giveaways.

Meloetta

First up we have Meloetta

We round out the Pokémon 20th celebration with a chance to get the elegant Meloetta via Nintendo Network! The Melody Pokémon first appeared in the Unova region, complete with the capability of changing from Aria Forme to Pirouette Forme in battle when it used the move Relic Song.

Don’t miss your chance to have the graceful Meloetta perform in your Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire game! Visit the Move Tutor in Mauville City to teach it Relic Song to transform it into Pirouette Forme once again! Receive Meloetta via Nintendo Network beginning December 1, 2016, for your Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, or Pokémon Y game. The Pokémon will be available only until December 24, 2016, so don't miss this opportunity!
