Toys-R-Us Dragonite Event (useful for tournament play)

[Nadian]

As reported by Bulbapedia, Toys-R-Us is going to have an event on the weekend of November 8th to 9th from noon to 4pm to give away Level 50 Dragonites.

At first, this may sound unimpressive. You can always catch and breed a Dragonite, right? Here's the advantage: it's level 50, but Dragonair normally evolves at level 55. Nintendo's official tournament rules are up to level 50, but ban pokemon over 50. This means that some pokemon are unusable. Non-legendaries that are unfortunately excluded are Dragonite and Tyranitar because they can't fully evolve until level 55.

Furthermore, in order to make it more useful, it is reported that it'll have some moves that it normally learns at a higher level, making it actually feasible to use.

Combined with the box trick, we will also be able to fully EV train it.

A poster on Smogon suggests what this Dragonite probably is:

Nokocchi

I'm pretty sure Just like the Darkrai Event, it is simply a Japanese Event with an English Name and OT

Here's The Japanese Event, which I have:

Dragonite
Lv.50
ID: 01158
OT: Saikyou (Means "The Strongest")
ALWAYS Mild
Cherish Ball
Yache Berry
-Draco Meteor

Sweet.
I wonder if I'll be near a Toys-R-us at that time.
I missed the Darkrai event since I didn't have Diamond then.

I was about to get mad at my toys-r-us. I didn't see the table with the guy and the ds.
So i did the mystery gift wireless and found it was working, but still no ds restribution to be seen. so i don't know really.
But the good thing is i got the card, so i can just get Dragonite soon when i boot the game again.

I don't suppose anyone has a spare that they don't want do they?
both my friend and I didn't get to the event in time, so, I'm 50 dragonite-less

I do, but assuming you're interested in good IVs, I'm not sure how long it'll take me to SR a good one. sweatdrop  

[wellwisher]

I'm not interested in IV's until I have the basic construct for a team, then I'll be breading for them. I'm more interested in gettign a level 50 Dragonite than anything else.  

[Nadian]

Alright. Then whenever I get around to Dragonites, I'll give you one. smile

(I still have to SR the Darkrais / Deoxys in line before a lot of them, I'm afraid.)  

[wellwisher]

that's fine. Christmas time will be best since I'll have access to wi-fi for about a month. otherwise, it will be sparing and intermittent s to when I can do any actual online trading.
