Pokémon Sword And Shield Shiny Zacian/Zamazenta Distribution Confirmed For US

Weird that you can’t get both at the same time, but can’t complain about a free shiny legendary

That's pretty nice. I just might go to a gamestop (or two!) to claim these.

Aww gamestop codes? That sucks. People flip those.

@Ryu_Niiyama They do? Last time I went to a gamestop for codes they threw a handful of like five at me.

@Bret that’s my point. GameStop just hands em out and people put them ebay. So they run out quickly.

But what about EUrope ??

No doubt they'll come to Game soon

So I would need to bring my Switch in and show them I have Shield/Sword? Or do the codes only work on their respective game?

I haven’t played Shield since I finished the base dex, but there’s a GameStop on the way home from work so maybe I’ll stop in.

I wonder if this will use the Pokemon Pass app (which has been neglected since the pandemic started) or if they're going back to printed cards.

YES now I don’t have to trade for a zamazenta!😆

Here's hoping this promotion will get to Italy too. I'd love having my own Zacian, it would be a good sendoff to Galar before heading back to Sinnoh.

I Hope we get a chance to have both of this in Brazil somehow.

I do appreciate Legendary giveaways, especially since they’re shiny here, but they do so many giveaways that they just aren’t special anymore.

…I’m still going to get both codes, though, heh.

@Ryu_Niiyama And my point is that they wouldn't be doing that if the cards were scarce.

Very cool, I live 1< mile away from one a Game Stop.

Very weird, Japan is always the 1st country to get Pokemon events. Well almost always.

@Bret ok. Then we are talking at different angles. You got five of em? Great, however that doesn’t change that the codes get flipped and that the stores run out. Not sure what you are looking for me to say here.

@Ryu_Niiyama All I know is they pull out a gigantic stack. I just find it hard to believe that people are willing to pay any significant amount for something they could easily get for free. "Flipping" makes it sound scarce, which they're not.

I really hate Gamestop with a passion, especially because I'm so sick of them paying for various exclusivities, whether it be Pokemon tie-ins or Amiibo's.

Hopefully Game in the UK does this.

Hope EB Games does this in Australia. Would be surprised if they didn't.

I hate these in store events. In the UK, the staff never seem to know about it.

@Peach64 I prefer the mystery gift events myself but I’ll be driving my grown ass into GameStop on Friday on my lunch break getting that shiny Zacian code 😂 that’s all I play for is shiny collecting it’s pretty pathetic 🤷‍♂️

@Bret I’m going to agree with you on this. The employees usually tell me they have stacks of them left over and end up throwing them out. Same thing with the current Best Buy code give away, the employee reached into a good size box and had no problem handing me four.

These end up being anything but rare so I hope people aren’t paying any significant money for them to scalpers on resale sites.

@Ulysses preach!!! Don’t get me started on the GameStop exclusive Monster Hunter amiibo 😳 😠
