Heatran — 2018 Legends Event Pokémon (Moon, English OT) | HOME

Heatran’s March release used an internet gift in PAL regions and a newsletter code in the Americas. This record covers the level 60 Pokémon Moon gift with English OT 2018 Legends and displayed Trainer ID 030118.

The 2018 Legends distribution is non-shiny. Its historical identity takes priority over shiny appearance or competitive stat changes.

Historical Event Details

Campaign: Legendary Pokémon Celebration — Year of Legendary Pokémon (2018). Heatran was featured in March. The campaign was organised by The Pokémon Company International, with Nintendo Network and regional retail or newsletter partners.

Original receiving game: Pokémon Moon. Original gift level: 60. OT localisation: English — 2018 Legends. The language of an OT is not proof of a specimen’s country of redemption.

Documented regional routes: The following are campaign records and selected country examples, not a confirmed origin for PKTS stock. Store dates describe code availability; they are separate from online redemption deadlines.

• PAL-region games, including Europe and Australia: Nintendo Network Mystery Gift; 1–24 March 2018.
• United States / Canada / Latin America: Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter; serial codes; 16 March 2018 newsletter.

American-region code redemption deadline: 28 June 2018 (Bulbapedia; conflicting archive date below).

The PAL Nintendo Network dates above are the direct gift window; no retail code was required for that route.

Source disagreement: For the American serial-code route, Bulbapedia lists 28 June 2018 as the redemption deadline; Serebii’s annual database lists 30 June. The exact deadline remains a source conflict. Neither date is used to establish a specimen’s provenance.

Specimen origin: Unconfirmed. The exact country, acquisition route and redemption evidence must be matched to the supplied specimen before sale. A device receipt date or archive filename does not establish an official distribution period.

Pokémon specifications: fixed and variable properties

• Gender: Variable under the gift rules
• IV rules: At least 3 IVs of 31; remaining values follow the gift template
• Original EVs: 0 in all six stats in the gift template
• Original held item: None; held items are not carried into Pokémon HOME
• Secret ID (16-bit archive field): 00000
• Wonder Card reference: 649
• Form: Base form in the archived gift template
• Trainer ID format: The six-digit Trainer ID above is the displayed event ID; the 16-bit Secret ID is a separate encoded archive field
• Original met-location code: 40001 in the original game data; this is not a real-world distribution location

These are historical reference properties, not measurements of an available PKTS specimen. Variable values must follow the original event rules; archive samples do not establish a guaranteed stat spread.

Historical properties

No blanket 6IV, competitive EV, nature or move changes are promised. Fixed event properties must be preserved. Listed moves describe the original distribution; newer games may display or assign moves differently. Historical held items are not included in a Pokémon HOME transfer.

Specimen provenance

Not yet verified. The archive documents event data; it does not prove that a specimen was redeemed during the original event or that PKTS holds a deliverable specimen. Reconstructed specimens must be identified as reconstructed before sale.

Compatibility & delivery

Compatible Nintendo 3DS Generation 7 specimens use Pokémon Bank for the historical route to HOME. This describes a potential technical route, not a successful transfer test for this product.

Pokémon Bank ends service on 26 February 2027 at 03:00 UTC. Bank-to-HOME transfers require a HOME Premium Plan and must be completed before that deadline. Pokémon already in HOME require a separate availability and delivery check. HOME transfers are one-way; no return to the original GBA, DS or 3DS game is offered.

Compatibility with a current game depends on the species, form and that game’s supported transfers. HOME storage does not establish compatibility with every game. Original held items are excluded, and moves can differ in later games. No destination game, Moving Key delivery or friend trade is confirmed for this draft.

Historical and competitive versions

The intended historical version preserves the event’s fixed identity, including OT, Trainer ID, shiny rule, ball and required ribbons. No Competitive Optimized Version has been verified or offered here. 6IV, Battle Ready, custom OT, EV training and altered move sets are not included as product promises.

HOME delivery instructions

For a confirmed Friend Trade, send PKTS your Pokémon HOME Friend Code and trade using the mobile app. This method does not require HOME Premium; account eligibility and event-specific trade restrictions still apply.

For a confirmed Moving Key transfer, you need Pokémon HOME Premium. Generate a Moving Key in your own HOME and send the 16-character key to PKTS when the transfer is ready. It expires after three minutes. PKTS enters your key in Pokémon Bank to send the Pokémon to your HOME. Bank-to-HOME transfers are one-way. The images explain these possible methods; they do not confirm that both methods are available for this unverified event draft.

Verification status

Needs Verification — preparation draft, unavailable to order. The supplied specimen, authenticity category, working delivery route, artwork permissions and applicable selling rights remain unconfirmed. An original-era specimen requires provenance evidence; a reconstructed specimen must be labelled as reconstructed.

Still to verify: Specimen-specific country and redemption route; Original acquisition evidence; Regional source-date disagreement.
