The official Pokémon site has revealed that the winner of the "Vote to Befriend a Pokémon" poll [[Pokémon popularity poll launched|last month]] is, much like the first Japanese poll,  the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Arceus}}. Arceus with their only ability {{m|Multitype}} will be available to those with international {{bp|Pokémon Global Link}} accounts during the whole month of February next year: a total of 29 days.

Arceus with their only ability {{m|Multitype}} will be available to those with international {{bp|Pokémon Global Link}} accounts during the whole month of February next year: a total of 29 days.


The said poll was conducted from Nov. 1 to 30 with players of non-Japanese and non-Korean Pokémon games as the main target. The poll follows that of Japan's and Korea's, of which Arceus and {{p|Rayquaza}} were the respective winners. Their respective movesets are as follows: {{m4|Recover|Hyper Beam|Perish Song|Judgment}} for Arceus and {{m4|Rest|Air Slash|AncientPower|Outrage}}. Unlike [[New distributions for Black and White announced|after the Japanese poll]], however, the official Pokémon site has yet to release a list of the Pokémon with the highest ranks. Nevertheless, during the first few weeks, {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Mew}} were second and third in rank, with {{p|Mudkip}} moving Mew to fourth later on: quite different from that of the Japanese poll.

The addition of Mudkip to the top ten is a marked difference from the outcome of the Japanese poll. It has been suggested that this, and the positions of some other Pokémon, tactical voting blocs.
