Pokémon's 20th anniversary celebration has been... interesting. If Pikachu lingerie wasn't your speed, how about a free Darkrai, leveled to 100 and in full possession of a bevy of powerful attacks for your convenience?

"The Mythical Pokémon Darkrai will be available at participating GameStop stores starting May 1, 2016," according to the official Pokémon 20th anniversary site. "Visit GameStop to pick up a code that will unlock Darkrai in your Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, or Pokémon Y game. Be sure to redeem your code in your game by August 31, 2016!"

Once you've got your code, choose Receive Gift from the main menu, tap Get With Code, and follow the remaining steps.

More free Pokémon will be made available in June, July, and August as the series' 20th anniversary bulbasaur-nanza continues.
