On the 23rd and 24th of February, and almost two weeks prior to the distribution events taking place at selected retailers, selected Hoyts cinemas will be offering Pokémon fans the chance to be among the first in Australia and New Zealand to receive the much-anticipated Mythical Pokémon Meloetta at special Hoyts distribution events.

Making its video game debut, Meloetta is a rare and powerful Pokémon with a musical flair—and a very special Ability in battle. Pokémon fans will be able to add Meloetta to their Pokédex in Pokémon™ Black 2, Pokémon™ White 2, and the original Pokémon™ Black and Pokémon™ White games. For players new to the world of Pokémon, it is a great opportunity to enter the Unova Region of Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 with a strong, uniquely gifted Pokémon right out of the gate.
