    • +11

      If you trade it with someone, it will evolve into Gourgeist…

      • -4

        yea, then i loose it? lol

        • +5

          So you get your friend to get the Pumpkaboo too, so you both end up with Gougeist.

        • -7

          @suicine94:

          @suicine94:
          lose*

        • I don't know anyone playing pokemon so I bought a 2DS as second device since husband says he's keen on playing Mario Kart.
          Only trade with someone you trust.

        • Or just take the item off the pokemon and trade with another of the same level on the global trade system?

        • If you do it with a friend or someone local you can just swap, then swap back again to keep your OT Poke.

      I find it odd someone expressing glee at free pokemon yet not knowing the evolution/trading thing behind it

      • +3

        This is exactly what I thought. Evolutions by trade have been around since the first 150. Polywhirl, Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler and Haunter all only evolve into their respective third forms when traded.

        • +1

          151 - and Poliwhirl > Poliwrath required a water stone.

          But if it makes you feel better, I wish I didn't remember that

        • @Themojorising: true. johnno07 probably meant politoad xD although is #186

      • +2

        I remember trading a Kadabra this way. Of course, I did it with a friend and not a rough stranger who'd steal 'my' new Alakazam, though at that point he'd probably steal my Game Boy too.

  • Anyone got theirs yet?? PM me if you want to trade Pumkaboo?

    • +16

      Depends on the pokeball your using.

      300 to 1500 poke bucks or whatever they are called, and the power points to reduce the wild pokemons health to a catchable point.

  • +13

    How much is shipping?

      • +7

        it's a joke

      • lulz, relax meng!

  • +1
  • to clarify, the rocky helmet item is exclusive to this event.

    • +1

      What do you mean? I've already got one in my game.

  • Is this for Nintendo 3DS?

    • Yes.

  • -6

    I can't find the pokemon, do I need a to be a PSN+ subscriber?

    • +2

      I dunno, but a Xbox Gold sub might do the trick!

    • +1

      You need to beat the Pokemon League 25 times with only Magikarps before Gary gives you the upgraded Strength HM. You can then move the truck near the cruise ship to find Pumpkaboo and Mew. Mew is a 1 in 9001 chance to be found.

      My friend told me this and it works!!

  • Thanks! I have no idea exactly what it is, but the kids always love it when I pass on these "free" pokemon.

  • +2

    Thanks op. It seems so easy to get free Pokemon these dates. I remember lining up for ages at Macquarie centr back in 1999 just to get a Mew onto my Pokemon Blue. And the only way to see Pokemon in colour on a big screen (not counting the anime) was through the super game boy!

    Awesome. Not sure about ghost pokemon/grass with Rocky Helmet, not so great against fighting or MegaKang but Leechseed/Gigadrain/WoW Gourgeist is pretty okay as a switch-in. Nice to actually be able to get event Pokemon with an AU 3DS. Normally I have to actually buy them from US players because most of the promo Pokemon are exclusive to Japan/Gamestop or something.
