Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to snap up two "legendary" Pokemon per month (but just one in June) from February through to November.

That means there's a total of 19 rare Pokemon up for grabs – including fan favourites like Entei, Ho-Oh, and Zygarde.

For clarity, a legendary Pokemon is a monster that's really tough to catch, but are typically freely available to find in-game.

You'll often find legendary Pokemon on the covers of the video games, because they're usually amongst the most powerful creatures available to catch.

 The Nintendo 3DS games first launched back in 2016, and received "Ultra" sequels just last year

  • May – Xerneas and Yveltal
  • June – Shiny Zygarde
  • July – Tornadus and Thundurus
  • August – Groudon and Kyogre

  • September – Latias and Latios
  • October – Reshiram and Zekrom
  • November – Ho-Oh and Lugia

Pokemon fans may be disappointed that some ultra-rare Pokemon like Arceus or Jirachi aren't included.

Sadly, that's because they're both "mythical" Pokemon, a cut above even the rarest legendary creatures.

Still, 2018's offering is decent enough, so make sure to check into the Mystery Gift feature each month to collect your free Pokemon.
