Starting on August 13th, 2014, players could receive a Heracross for their Pokémon X game or Pinsir for their Pokémon Y game. Initially these Pokémon did not have any held items but sometime in September of 2014, a Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter containing a special code was sent to Canadian accounts so that they could also get Mega Stones for the Pokémon to hold.


When players entered the code into their game, they received the matching Mega Stone: Heracronite in Pokémon X or Pinsirite in Pokémon Y. GameStop was also distributing a special preorder bonus poster for those that preorder a copy of Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
