Deoxys WiFi Event and Ray Rizzo’s Metagross at Nationals
Pokémon revealed two new Pokémon event distributions today. If you’ve missed out on getting a Deoxys before now, you’ll be excited to know that all English copies of the game will be able to receive the legendary Pokémon on May 8th over the Nintendo WiFi Connection. It will be Level 100 and know four moves that The Company Pokémon International has deemed “amazing!” Unfortunately (or fortunately), Deoxys has never been eligible for tournament play, which means you’re likely much more interested in the second event announced today: Ray Rizzo (Ray)’s Metagross.
Metagross @ Lum Berry
Nature: Adamant
Trait: Clear Body
– Meteor Mash
– Zen Headbutt
– Earthquake
– Protect
This Metagross is confirmed to be available at the Italy National Championships. Though not confirmed, it will likely also be available at the Germany, United Kingdom, and United States events as well. Unfortunately, if Toler (Dim)’s Ludicolo and Abram (Abman261)’s Cloyster are any indication, the IVs will not be set on this Metagross; a shame considering Ray’s Metagross had a very specific Speed IV of 14 which played a key part in his strategy. Nonetheless, this very competitive Pokémon should be a great addition for anyone’s game card! The shiny Level 45 Metagross can be downloaded by anyone with a copy of Pokémon Black, Black 2, White, or White 2 as long as they’re present at the event. Participation in the actual tournament is not required.
