Description

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet fans who missed out on the sought-after Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon can now breathe a sigh of relief.

GameStop, in partnership with The Pokémon Company, has announced a restock of distribution codes for these exclusive Shiny Pokémon, following widespread demand and rapid depletion of the initial batch earlier this week.

The distribution, available at select GameStop locations and EB Games in Canada, offers trainers in North America another chance to obtain these rare creatures for their Nintendo Switch collection. The original launch of the Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon event saw high enthusiasm across the Pokémon community, but limited supplies meant that many U.S.

players were left empty-handed.

The Pokémon Company has listened to fans' requests and delivered additional codes to retail partners.

As detailed in GameStop’s official communication, players can visit participating stores and receive a code printed on a receipt—no purchase necessary—ensuring accessibility for all interested trainers. One significant point highlighted by The Pokémon Company is that each code can be redeemed for either Shiny Koraidon in Pokémon Violet or Shiny Miraidon in Pokémon Scarlet, but not both.

This makes each code especially valuable for competitive players and collectors alike.

Both Pokémon are notable for their popularity in competitive battles and Tera Raid Battles within the latest generation of games. A spokesperson for The Pokémon Company reiterated in clear terms: “Trainers can visit GameStop locations to obtain a code at no charge, while supplies last.

Each code is valid for one Shiny Koraidon or Miraidon, depending on your game version.” Serebii, a leading source for Pokémon news, also confirmed the code restock’s availability in Canada through EB Games. For those eager to claim their in-game gift, the redemption process is straightforward: 1.

Launch your Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet game on Nintendo Switch. 2.

Choose the Poké Portal from the X menu. 3.

Select 'Mystery Gift,' then 'Get with Code/Password' to connect online. 4.

Input your unique code. 5.

Watch as the Shiny Pokémon is delivered to your party or your Pokémon Boxes. 6.

Save your game to complete the process. Players should act quickly, as The Pokémon Company emphasized that codes are distributed only while stocks last.

This renewed opportunity is especially significant for those who missed out initially.

With over 22 million copies of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet sold globally since their release in November 2022, the demand for exclusive and competitive Pokémon remains at an all-time high.
