To celebrate Pokemon's 20th anniversary film, Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You, receiving a limited theatrical run outside Japan, Pokemon Sun and Moon is continuing its giveaway of six special edition Pikachu in the game. Last week, players could get a Pikachu wearing Ash's original hat from the TV series. This week, you can input a code to get a Pikachu that wears Ash's hat from the Hoenn region (the first time he changed his hat in the series).
This special edition Pikachu also comes with a set of moves inspired by those attacks used in the Hoenn region. The moves are:

You can then pick up your Pokemon from the deliveryman waiting inside any Pokemon Center. To get this Hoenn-inspired Pikachu, you have to input this code between now and October 2.
It's important to note you can only receive one of the six Pikachu during the promotion, so if you already got last week's Pikachu with Ash's original hat, you can't get this week's Pikachu too. Here's the full distribution schedule, if you'd like to hold out for a different Pikachu coming up:
