Good news for those of us in the uk who don’t have international friends or cheat, the one pokemon we’re missing from all of our collections, Arceus, will be given away at Game stores in the two weekends leading up to Heart Gold and Soul Silver’s release.
It will only be held at a few stores around the country, the list found at the following link will give you the full details:

Along with downloading the legendary Pokémon, selected stores will have some face painting, ballon modeling and a Pokémon Expert to give a few hints and tips, and maybe he’ll except a challenge or two. Of course, if your local event doesnt have this trainer, you’re sure to find some fan who knows enough to help you, and willing to have a battle or two.
The Arceus unlocks a special event when its traded to Heart Gold or Soul Silver. When taken to a location known as Shinjo Ruins, The Arceus will create an Egg of either Dialga, Palkia or Giratina (which ever you decide), along with Cynthia showing up giving more background to the Creation Pokemon itself.
We’ll bring you more news when we learn it, and maybe I’ll see you at one of the events to get an Arceus
hey went to the event transfered arceus to my japan heart gold it unlocked the level 1 egg event just make sure you have just arceus in your party other wise it wont work when you get there 🙂
What happends if we cant get there? Will we be able to get another chance or not?
There is a slim chance that Arceus will become available again at some point. So far all other event only pokemon of the last couple of years have been given away again in some other form, either via a Ranger Bonus Mission or via an event item in Platinum. While there is an event in Platinum to catch an Arceus, with HG/SS released (or about to be), its unlikely this event item will be distributed over Wi-Fi.
You’re probably best trying to find someone who would be willing to trade one, people who clone pokemon would make the best choice as the pokemon you get is not hacked, just copied.
Thanks
