Nintendo and The Pokémon Compan y are really pumping out the Legendary Pokémon distributions lately, and the latest batch of distributions will include a Shiny Xerneas and a Shiny Yveltal.

According to Serebii , from May 11-17, a Shiny Xerneas will be distributed on the Nintendo Network. Once that distribution is over, a shiny Yveltal will be distributed from May 20-26.

It was also confirmed that the surprise Zygarde distribution that went live over the weekend of April 30 will end May 8 in North America. So if you haven’t downloaded your Zygarde onto your Pokémon X and Y or Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire game, be sure to do so before it’s too late.

If you’re wondering what makes the Xerneas and Yveltal special (besides being shiny), both Pokémon will come already at level 100 with Xerneas having the moves Geomancy, Moonblast, Aromatherapy and Focus Blast. Yveltal will have the moves Oblivion Wing, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse and Foul Play.

This is the same distribution that Japan had back in October of 2015 to coincide with the upcoming Pokémon XY & Z anime.

To get both shiny Xerneas and Yveltal, all you have to do is boot up your Pokémon game and then hit the Mystery Gift tab. Click Get Via Internet and your Pokemon should appear. Then when you enter your game, go to your closest Pokémon Center and speak with the woman in blue. She’ll give you your Pokémon, but only if you have a spot open in your party.

Like the Zygarde distribution, if you want a competitive Pokémon, soft resetting your game to get the desired Nature and IV allotment always helps. And while it’s too early to tell, based on the Zygarde distribution, Xerneas and Yveltal should have at least three perfect IVs.

So what do you think of the shiny Yveltal and Xerneas distributions? What is the ideal Nature and IVs for both Pokémon ? Let us know in the comment section below.
