Pokémon Sun and Moon Mewtwonite code - how to get the Mewtwo Mega Stones for Mega Mewtwo X and Y

In one of the first Mega Stone giveaways since the launch of Pokémon Sun and Moon, it's now possible to get your hands on the Mega Mewtwonite X and Y stones via the Mega Mewtwo code.

The two Mega Mewtwos are some of the strongest Pokémon in the competitive metagame - and Mega Stones, being unavailable for transfer via Pokémon Bank, are otherwise impossible to come by - so this giveaway's one to get your hands on as soon as possible.

Without further ado, then, here's how to get Mega Mewtwonite X and Mega Mewtwonite Y with the Mega Mewtwo download code.

Do Pokémon Sun and Moon finally prove a weird fan theory?

Mewtwo Mega Stones code for Pokémon Sun and Moon - download code and mystery gift instructions

Rather than using a QR code like other recent giveaways, such as the one for Magearna, have in recent times, the Mega Mewtwonite giveaway works like the one for Marshadow, with it being tackled via a tried and tested download code for a Mystery Gift.

• Mega Mewtwo Mega Stones code: M2DESCENT

There are a few instructions kindly offered from the official Pokémon site for downloading the code via Mystery Gift. Here's how, verbatim:

1. Select Mystery Gift on the main menu.
2. Select Receive Gift.
3. Select Get with Code/Password, then Yes, and then Yes again to connect to the Internet.
4. Enter your code.
5. Watch as you receive Mega Stones.
6. Speak to the deliveryman in any Pokémon Center to pick up your Mega Stones.
7. Be sure to save your game!

How to get Mega Mewtwo in Sun and Moon and when does the Mega Mewtwo giveaway end?

Mewtwo itself is, unfortunately, impossible to catch in the wild in Pokémon Sun and Moon, however that doesn't mean it's impossible to get Mewtwo and its mega evolutions into the game itself.
