Attendees of the 2012 Pokémon Video Game National Championships will be able to walk away with a rare Shiny Larvitar, a Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon with unusual colouring.
This Shiny Larvitar knows the powerful Fighting-type move Superpower, which can only be learned in Pokémon HeartGold or Pokémon SoulSilver from a special tutor. It also comes holding a useful Chople Berry, which is difficult to obtain in the games.
Larvitar can eventually evolve into Tyranitar, which, thanks to its strong stats and its ability to kick up a Sandstorm, has been a popular character since its introduction in Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version in 2000.
Players will need to bring along a copy of the Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version game and their Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, or Nintendo 3DS to receive this unique distribution.
