The code cards being distributed will work in both versions of the game, however only one of Shiny Koraidon or Shiny Miraidon can be received per code.

• US: Gamestop
• Canada, Australia and New Zealand: EB Games
• Japan: Participating Game Stores nationwide (excluding convenience stores)

Ooh, cool! I'm glad Violet is the version getting Shiny Koraidon, it looks so nice. I'm not the biggest fan of guaranteed-shiny distributions, especially for new species that could never be shiny before, but I suppose it's just bound to happen by now. Here's hoping France communicates which stores will hold the codes soon.

 

Ohh I didn't read that part...guess I'm getting Miraidon!! Sweet :3

 

But... I want Shiny Miraidon...

 

very excited to hit up multiple gamestops with my mom with 2 switches and both versions of the game and probably also go out for lunch on the 26th :3

 

Any info on if it's in the UK?

 

holy crap. I owe the boys so much money

 

What about UK?!!!

dont quote me on this but... Im pretty sure all generated Pokemon are illegal

I highly doubt any past Raidons that have been generated will happen to match the event ones down to the OT, PID, and Poké Ball used, so definitely not. Don't expect any of them to pass legality checks.

 

Any UK info?

 

Cool although not the biggest fan of store events since they are exclusive to specific countries.

Not sure if they will be available again since Gen 9 made every single returning Legendary shiny locked which could repeat.
