It features the new Generation VIII Mythical Pokémon Zarude and a shiny Celebi.[4] In Japan, the film was released on December 25, 2020, by Toho.[5] The original release date of July 10, 2020, was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.[6][7][8] The film released worldwide (excluding Japan, Korea, and China) on Netflix on October 8, 2021.[9] For a limited time, if players of Pokémon Sword and Shield preordered tickets for this film's premiere, they would get the Mythical Pokémon Zarude in its "Dada" form and a Shiny Celebi.
