Porygon 2

Update: Here's the code (via Serebii.net): PKMNPLAYERSCUP

The free Pokémon just keep coming, as Pokémon Sword and Shield players will soon be able to get their hands on yet another sought-after monster.

Following on from the shiny Amoonguss giveaway from a couple of weeks back, The Pokémon Company is now distributing a free "battle-ready" Porygon 2. The new giveaway is celebrating the Pokémon Players Cup, an online battling tournament featuring top competitors from all over the world.

To get your hands on the Porygon 2, you'll need to tune in to the broadcast of the Players Cup on 22nd and 23rd August (it's available to watch on YouTube). Throughout the show, a password will be displayed on-screen which can be used in Sword and Shield's Mystery Gift menu, presenting you with this expertly trained Pokémon.
