Can you still get Manaphy somehow in ORAS in 2026?

Question

I’m trying to complete the national dex but it was an event. So how am I supposed to get it now

Comments

Fortunately, you can not get it regularly from the mystery gift because the 20th anniversary event is way over now.
Your best bet is getting someone to trade the Manaphy for you. Pokémon Go and Bank may work if you can’t find anyone.

No. But you can trade the one from Pokemon Ranger.

Answer 1

If you only have Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Manaphy is unobtainable legitimately. You can transfer it from older games:

1. In Pokemon Ranger, a special mission for a Manaphy Egg is unlocked after completing the main story. This Egg can be transferred to the Generation IV games and hatched, after which it can communicate with Poke Transporter and Pokemon Bank to send it up to ORAS. This Egg is only obtainable once per cartridge—not per save file—and is therefore difficult to obtain legitimately.
2. In Diamond and Pearl, you can perform the DNS Exploit to access an old Manaphy event from fan-hosted servers. This Manaphy is identical to the one distributed by Game Freak in 2007 and is considered legitimate. For help setting this up, please reference our detailed guide.
