Players of Pokemon Sun and Moon, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, will soon have the opportunity to add two more legendaries hailing from the Kalos region into their Pokedex. Generation Six legendary Pokemon Xerneas and Yveltal, which originally appeared in Pokemon X and Y, will be made available for free to all players who own the aforementioned Pokemon titles.
The Pokemon Company announced the news recently, where it revealed that players can add one of the two legendary Pokemon starting from 4th May to 27th May 2018. Owners of Pokemon Sun or Ultra Sun can obtain Dark/Flying-type Yveltal while owners of Pokemon Moon or Ultra Moon can obtain the Fairy-type Xerneas.
