A new Legendary Pokemon is being given away for a limited time in Pokemon Moon and Sun for those who own the Nintendo 3DS RPG.
Over on the official Pokemon website, there’s instructions on how to retrieve the legendary Pokemon Tapu Koko in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. First, from the main menu select the “Mystery Gift” option. Proceed to “Select Receive Gift” and then choose to retrieve the gift via the internet and select “Yes” when it asks if you want to connect to the online servers.
This will then grant you access to the Legendary Rare Pokemon Tapu Koko. However, before you can add Tapu Koko to your team, you’ll first need to go talk to the delivery person at your local Pokemon Center in the game, and they will add Tapu Koko to your inventory, if you have enough space free. Be sure to keep a slot free in your Pokemon stash so that there will be room for the Legendary Pokemon.
Once you receive the Pokemon, quickly save your game to ensure that you don’t lose any of the data. After that, you’re all set and can begin training the brand new Legendary Pokemon.
Tapu Koko is one of the rare Pokemon that only made its debut in Pokemon Sun and Moon. It has never appeared in a previous game in the series. It’s labeled as a Generation VII Pokemon, and also made a brief appearance in one of the animated movies.
In the storyline, the player-character gets to battle and capture this Legendary Pokemon only after completing the main story quests and becoming the Grand Champion of the Alola Islands, following the trial of defeating all the other island champions. The Pokemon’s role in Pokemon Sun and Moon was that of a Guardian over the island from the other Ultra Beasts. It had a much smaller role than the more prominent Solgaleo and Lunala, the two Legendaries that the story revolved around throughout the main game.
