July brings Pokémon trainers another Mythical Pokémon to download for free with this month’s addition being the Grass-type Shaymin.
The Shaymin distribution is similar to previous months, like the June Manaphy and the April Jirachi where trainers simply have to pop in their Pokémon X and Y or Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games to get it.
To download Shaymin, you’ll need to boot up your game and go to the MYSTERY GIFT tab. Select RECEIVE GIFT and then GET VIA INTERNET. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be given your own special Celebi; just be sure you’re in a spot that has a good internet connection.
This Shaymin comes at level 100 with the attacks Seed Flare, Aromatherapy, Energy Ball and Substitute. Shaymin also comes with the ability Natural Cure, giving it another way to heal status effects by simply switching out.
But be sure to download Shaymin before July 24, when the distribution ends.
Also, you can change Shaymin’s forme in X and Y and ORAS by letting Shaymin hold the Gracidea.
To get the Gracidea Flower in ORAS, you’ll have to go to Route 123 and talk to the man in the house between 5am and 8pm.
In X and Y you’ll have to go to Snowbelle City to find the man who will give you the Gracidea Flower.
