The team working on the Pokemon Bank service for the long-running game series announces that all those who are ready to download it and play it between December 27 and 30 will be able to get access to Mythical Time Travel Pokemon Celebi.

The team explains that, “This special Celebi comes with the move Hold Back, a restrained attack that cannot be learned through normal gameplay, which always leaves the target with at least 1 HP. This allows players to weaken a target with certainty and is very useful in capturing Pokémon.”

Other moves for the new creature include Recover, Heal Bell and Safeguard.

In order to get access to Celebi, players will have to use the Pokemon Link feature in Pokemon X or Y.

The Pokemon Bank is designed to allow players to store their creatures and use them in future titles in the series.
