List of traded event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII): Difference between revisions

[https://twitter.com/V_Jump/status/1472125763575246849?t=lZbSTZbPhbui45QCfmRWOQ&s=19 These] Pokémon were distributed by shōnen manga magazine {{wp|V Jump}} as one of several major media companies taking part in the Pokémon Christmas Trade Party event livestreamed on the Japanese Pokémon YouTube channel. While most of the distributions from the other companies present at the event were seemingly picked from Pokémon they had on hand, V Jump is notable in that all of the Pokémon they distributed were prepared specifically for the Christmas Trade Party event.<ref name=PokeHistorian>[https://www.pokemonhistorian.com/poketimes/christmas2021-poketimes-vjump 'Christmas 2021: Celebrities, PokeTimes, VJump & More!' (PokeHistorian)]</ref> At least twenty-six Dedenne, nicknamed "デデンネV" (DedenneV), were prepared for {{g|Sword and Shield}} players while fifteen Buizel, nicknamed "Vゼル" (VSel), were prepared for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} players.  

However, due to miscommunication between the livestream organizers and V Jump, only five each of these Dedenne and Buizel were distributed to viewers during the broadcast via Link Code on December 19th, 2021. V Jump, apologetic for the event, bred additional Dedenne and Buizel and distributed them via Link Trade on December 26th, 2021.<ref name=PokeHistorian/> During the second distribution, twenty Buizel were distributed to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} players from 18:00 JST to 18:54 JST while fifty Dedenne were distributed to {{g|Sword and Shield}} players from 19:00 JST to 19:26 JST.  

This distribution was poorly communicated on the Twitter account with many fans being left confused on how to be eligible to receive these Pokémon, leading to Poké Times [https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1473579441343594503 issuing an apology] for the lack of clarity regarding the distribution, and announcing that they would begin a second distribution of the Stantler and Gible on December 23rd, 2021. However, on the day of the distribution, Poké Times coincidentally had their Twitter account suspended, leading to the distribution being rescheduled for the day after on December 24th, 2021 where they were finally distributed.<ref name=PokeHistorian/> This second distribution appears to be for slightly different Stantler and Gible than those given away during the livestream event. They all have 31 IVs in every stat except Special Attack rather than 31 IVs in every stat, and do not seem to carry any items. Other attributes, such as the nature, species and Poké Balls are the same, however. Only twenty Stantler were distributed, rather than the thirty in the initial distribution. They were distributed to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} players beginning from 19:00 to 20:00 JST, while the thirty Gible were distributed via [[Surprise Trade]] for {{g|Sword and Shield}} players from 20:00 to 21:00 JST.
