I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion. 

It’s the year of the Legendary Pokémon!

In case you haven’t heard your kids talk about them (or maybe you play yourself) – Legendary Pokémon are important for the story of the games but can be difficult to collect as players only encounter one of a particular species during their adventures.

Each month in 2018 there will be multiple ways for kids to add Legendary Pokémon, some of the most powerful and well-known Pokémon, to their Pokémon Ultra Sun, Pokémon Ultra Moon, Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon game!

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are the newest Nintendo 3DS games in the franchise.
