Nintendo have announced that from February 7th 2011, Shiny Raikou, Entei and Suicune will be distributed via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in Europe, Australia and America. The press release detailing the March 4th release date for
Pokémon Black and
White Version in Europe then went on to mention that Celebi will also be available via Wi-Fi soon after.
Pokémon Diamond,
Pearl,
Platinum,
HeartGold and
SoulSilver Version will all be able to take part in the event and receive the Pokémon.
Each Pokémon will be available for one week at a time allowing us to get all three. Japan could only receive one of the three Legendary Pokémon randomly per game card so it’s good to see Nintendo allowing us to obtain the whole collection. Dates are as follows…
RaikouPokeBall: Cherish Ball

Date: February 7th to February 13th 2011

When either of these Pokémon are sent to
Pokémon Black and
White Version, an in-game event will activate and Zoroark will appear. The Zoroark will take the form of Entei, Suicune or Raikou but will revert to normal once it has taken enough damage, it’s at this point that you can then capture it.
