Starting next month, GameStop will begin giving out three legendary Pokémon to players who own Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver versions. The three featured Pokémon are none other than Raikou, Entei and Suicune. But wait -- aren't these Pokémon already obtainable through normal means? Nope! These three legendary Pokémon will not only come in their shiny form, they will also be important in the upcoming Pokémon Black and White versions.Trading these specially obtained Pokémon to one of the new titles will unlock the ability to catch new Pokémon, Zoroark.

Interested now? Here are the details for what Pokémon will be obtainable on which date and when you should enter your local GameStop:

  • Raikou- January 3rd – January 9th
  • Entei- January 17th – January 23rd
  • Suicune- January 31st – February 6th

Pokémon Black and White versions are scheduled to release in North America in Spring 2011.
