Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Deliver Shiny Wo-Chien Through Special Limited-Time Event Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, among the most prominent titles in the Nintendo Switch lineup, have introduced another exciting incentive for dedicated trainers.

In response to the overwhelming success of a recent global Tera Raid Battle event, developer Game Freak and The Pokémon Company are now distributing a limited-time Shiny Wo-Chien to all players.

The Tera Raid Battle event, held earlier in June 2024, tasked the entire Pokémon Scarlet and Violet community with collectively defeating Shiny Wo-Chien one million times.

In a testament to the games' enduring popularity and the active engagement of Nintendo Switch players, trainers surpassed expectations, achieving over 3.5 million collective wins.

This significant milestone unlocked the special Shiny Wo-Chien reward—and as of now, it is available to all players worldwide via the Mystery Gift function.
