By Stephany Nunneley

Pokemon Sun and Moon players should head to their nearest GameStop or GAME store in mid-August for a free Pokemon.

Another Pokemon distribution event is set for August 14 – September 12 at GameStop stores in the US for Pokemon Sun and Moon. It will run from August 18 – September 18 in Europe.

The Pokemon is the Poison/Fire Type Salazzle, which the evolved version of Salandit. It is a female Pokemon which emits pheromones making those around the toxic cloud dizzy therefore able to be controlled by the creature.

Salazzle’s abilities include Corrosion which allows it to Poison other Pokemon. Even Steel and Poison-type Pokemon will be met with a Poisoned status. It’s hidden ability is Oblivious which prevents infatuation and from be affected by Taunt.

Moves in Pokemon Sun and Moon Salazzle can use are: Fake Out, Flamethrower,Sludge Bomb, Toxic and holding a Focus Sash.

If you haven’t already, grab those Pokemon Sun and Moon Mega Stones Abomasite, Aggronite, Manectite, and Tyranitarite. The stones will turn Abomasnow, Aggron, Manectric, and Tyranitar into their Mega versions. There wasn’t an end date provided for the stone distribution, so hopefully the code still works.

Plus, you have until August 14 to grab a level 60, Shiny Tapu Koko.

Players will be handed the Pokemon just for connecting to the Nintendo Network and selecting the Mystery Gift option.
