Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby to Be 'Full Remakes' of Originals
Still, it's the live attendees that'll get the better of the deal, as they'll get a shiny Mamoswine. Already decked out at level 50, this Ice/Ground type comes with the Thick Fat Ability, holds a Choice Scarf item, and can use Icicle Spear, Earthquake, Icicle Crash, and Rock Slide. Those attending the US National Championships and interested in receiving this Mamoswine will need to bring their own copy of Pokémon X or Pokémon Y and their own system in the Nintendo 3DS family.
It's been a long road for this year's Championships. The first competition to feature Pokémon X and Y began all the way back in mid-January, and is set to come to a close this August in Washington, D.C. Check out an analysis of Mamoswine below.
