'Pokemon Black and White 2' getting Meloetta distribution at GameStop in March

The Pokémon Company International announced a distribution event Monday. Owners of "Pokemon Black and White 2" and the original "Pokemon Black and White" can download the mythical melody Pokémon, Meloetta, to their Nintendo DS or 3DS at GameStop stores starting in March.

Meloetta is a rare but powerful musical Pokémon that has two distinct Formes. "Meloetta fights as a Normal- and Psychic-type Pokémon in its Aria Forme," according to a release from the Pokémon Company. "Though Aria Forme is powerful in its own right, Meloetta can change mid-battle to its Pirouette Forme, taking on new strengths and weaknesses as it becomes a Normal- and Fighting-type Pokémon. Meloetta is the first Pokémon able to change its Forme and type during battle using a specific move, and its Pirouette Forme is the only Pokémon with a Normal- and Fighting-type combination."

The Mythical Melody Pokémon distribution event starts March 4 at GameStop and will be available for a limited time. To download Meloetta, players will need to head to their nearest store with their Nintendo DS or 3DS and a copy of "Pokémon Black 2", "Pokémon White 2", "Pokémon Black" or "Pokémon White". They will need to have the Pokédex in their possession in-game and no more than 11 Wonder Cards.
