The Krabby featured on this page recreates the shiny, Level 15 Krabby distributed during the ひみつ’s Krabby Gift event for Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee between October 2019 and February 2020. It arrives in a Cherish Ball with the original Trainer “ひみつ” and Trainer ID 132, the exact identifiers recorded in the live distribution.
What makes this version worth collecting: The shiny flag on this Krabby is locked: the event always produced a shiny, so there is no legal non-event route to a Krabby with this specific OT and ID combination. It arrives holding a Poké Ball — bonus items like this were part of the original handout and are preserved here. Its full four-move set (Crabhammer, Toxic, Facade, Bubble Beam) mirrors the event distribution, including any moves the species can't access through normal level-up or TMs.
IVs are generated per-trade using the event's original randomisation rules, so each one you receive is a fresh roll. Ability is set to Any12, matching the event-programmed slot.
Every event Pokémon on GenPKM is built through the same PKHeX legality pipeline Pokémon HOME uses to validate deposits, so this Krabby passes HOME, transfers cleanly across the games its species is available in, and behaves identically to a Pokémon you'd obtain yourself. To add it to your save, open the Mystery Gift trade hub, pick the Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee list, and hit trade — the bot runs a Link Trade with you in under a minute once you're queued. If you're new to genning and want the honest answer on ban risk first, read Is Pokémon Genning Safe? before you trade.
Yes. Every event recreation on GenPKM is validated against PKHeX — the same legality rules Pokémon HOME uses on deposit. This Krabby from the ひみつ’s Krabby Gift event passes HOME without any flags and moves freely between compatible games.
When was the ひみつ’s Krabby Gift event originally distributed?
The ひみつ’s Krabby Gift distribution for Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee ran from October 4, 2019 to February 3, 2020. If you missed the live window, GenPKM rebuilds the exact distribution data so the Pokémon is still available to add to your collection.
Is the shiny state on this Krabby legitimate?
Yes. The shiny flag, PID, and Encryption Constant are generated using the RNG rules the original event used, so HOME's shiny verification passes on this Pokémon the same way it does on one obtained live.
Can Krabby normally learn these moves?
The move set (Crabhammer, Toxic, Facade, Bubble Beam) is the event's official preset. Some of these moves may not be available to Krabby through normal level-up or TM learning in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee — which is part of what makes event distributions like this one collectible.
How do I receive this Pokémon on my game?
Sign in on GenPKM, open the Mystery Gift trade hub, pick the Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee event list, and select this event. Our trade bot starts a Link Trade with you and sends the Pokémon directly — it takes under a minute once you're at the front of the queue.
Can I use this event Pokémon in online battles?
Ranked Battle Stadium, Link Battles, Surprise Trade, and Pokémon HOME GTS all accept this Pokémon because its data passes every server-side check. Note that official VGC tournaments separately disallow any Pokémon not personally obtained in the tournament's legal game — that's a tournament rule and applies regardless of how the Pokémon was acquired.
