The egg in the anime

The Pokémon Company International and Toys "R" Us are teaming up for the English equivalent of the Japanese Mystery Egg event. The similarly-named Secret Egg event will take place from April 27 through May 31 at participating stores, where players with Pokémon Black and White Versions can receive an Egg containing one of three Pokémon: Axew, Pansage, or Pidove, all of which are based on the actual Pokémon owned by characters in the anime.

The distribution, which features Pokémon from the latest anime season, is currently only scheduled for American stores despite the Japanese distribution being available via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The Mystery Egg event corresponds with the twelfth episode of the latest anime series, in which Ash receives a Pokémon egg. The episode is set to air in America April 23.

The press release detailing the event also reveals three new TCG promo cards that will be distributed in two-pack Black & White blisters; these promo cards are also the same as in the Japanese campaign.
