The pre-order tickets for Pocket Monster Movie 15 - Kyurem VS the Sacred Swordsman Keldeo (キュレムVS聖剣士ケルディオ) cost 1300yen for general admission, youth admission was 800yen and a parent/child combo was 2000yen. The tickets could be purchased at participating: 7/11's, Ito-Yokado, Aeon, Aeon Supercenters, Toys 'R' Us, Apita, Piago, Al-Plaza, Heiwado, Daiei, Fuji, Pokémon Centers and Toho cinemas nationwide. If players purchased the ticket from 7/11, they needed to bring the voucher and movie ticket to a participating distribution location as Keldeo was not distributed at 7/11. Keldeo can not be received by non-Japanese versions of Black and White and it cannot be traded on the Global Trade Station.

This is the first time that Keldeo was made available to players of either game. Players that transfer or receive the Keldeo in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 could also unlock a Secret Sword Event. It occurs in the forest by the second town, Sanagi Town, resulting in Keldeo learning the special move Secret Sword. Immediately after learning the move, Keldeo will transform into its Resolution Form. Keldeo will be able to re-learn Secret Sword by doing this event again. Players can not trade a Resolution Form Keldeo to Black and White. If players wish to trade Keldeo to one of these games, they must revert it to its Usual Form by forgetting Secret Sword. To make Keldeo learn Secret Sword in Black and White, put Cobalon, Terrakion and Virizion on your team and head to the Moor of Sekka! However, this will not make Keldeo change to its Resolution Form.

Keldeo can change into a new form called its Resolution Form (かくごのすがた) only when it knows the move Secret Sword. When that move is replaced, Keldeo will revert back to its Usual form (いつものすがた).
