Just grabbed this fellow! Don't forget to save.
Soon enough I’ll have a full competitive team just from these giveaways
I haven’t even played the dlcs yet lol. Guess that was 30 dollars down the drain. To be fair I did get new games over the summer and they have been occupying most of my time, and school just went back in.
Not much worth it
Anyone looking for porygon2 here’s the code -
PKMNPLAYERSCUP
@Seduso Thanks, I've added this to the post.
They’re gonna need to do better if they want my attention again
Can't access my Switch till late Tuesday, so nope. Oh well.
wish they didnt shorten the time to get the shiny mushroom one i thought the code to it would last to the end of the day but nope.
Yooo my favourite mon
LUL I have a full team of just these gift pokemon
The Porygon 2 having an eviolite is what's worth it! You normally only get one!
[edit] but the Gastrodon also has an expert belt. Awesome, another very rare item!
The reason I got Pokémon Sword sooner rather than later is so I didn't miss it on all the goodies, thanks.
Mr Gastrodon farm, cuts the watches out of all the pokeballs.
@WickedUnicarnBoi only the first DLC came out so far and it’s like 30 minutes to get through the story - it’s mostly additions to make competitive team building easier and give more options. The second DLC wave looks like it’ll be more story content so it might be better for you to wait for that anyways (the price includes both waves).
@Heavyarms55 don’t most of the online modes ban using the same item on more than one mon though?
@ShadJV lol I didn’t even know that only the first one came out yet. You can tell I am keeping up with it. The second one comes out in November, right? I might play it then.
they really need a new Stadium Game
I 100% the pokedex in Isle of Armor but the main one is more annoying.
Free I will download....
Not sure if l should get it. I already own this Pokèmon
@HobbitGamer these giveaways are like a motorcade of generosity.
@ShadJV They do. But when you have 4 and a half boxes of competitive Pokemon, having some spares saves time. Eviolite for example is mostly used by Dusclops and Porygon 2, now I can just have both ready for whenever I want them.
@NintendoPok I never said it was bad, it’s just that I have not had a chance to play it yet.
@graysoncharles Even when l already own 3 of them? I don't know really, l don't use the Pokèmon that much. I will just not get it because l already own better Pokèmon than this one that l use more. But l will get it for my sister.
@misery6 Not much people in the world would use that Pokèmon. So yeah not very worth it, but if it was a shiny than yeah.
@NintendoPok Pretty rude to say that to someone who didn't say anything bad.
@Yusuke_the_Fox true, if it were shiny if it would be worth it, it was something I forgot to comment
@misery6 Did you get that mushroom shiny Pokèmon? There was a free giveaway code for it.
@Yusuke_the_Fox not being rude being honest
@Heavyarms55 fair. I only have one competitive team so I didn’t think of how the battle box works.
