Update [Tue 20th Sep, 2022 03:05 BST]: The event to receive a Shiny Eternatus is now live in North America. Unfortunately, it's been delayed until early October in Australia and New Zealand (via Vooks.net):
Original article [Tue 13th Sep, 2022 03:45 BST]: Despite the fact we're now just a few months out from the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, The Pokémon Company is still running "limited-time" events for Pokémon Sword and Shield.
The latest one announced is a special in-store promotion taking place at GameStop in America and Canada, and EB Games in Australia and New Zealand. Players will be able to head in store and receive a special code card for a Shiny Eternatus. This event runs from September 18th to October 1st.
To redeem Shiny Eternatus, you'll have to boot up your copy of the game, select Mystery Gift from the menu, select Get with Code/Password, enter it and then the gift will arrive. Make sure to save as well! Here's a bit about Shiny Eternatus:
"Shiny Eternatus will appear at Lv. 100 with a Timid Nature and the Pressure Ability. It’ll know the moves Dynamax Cannon, Eternabeam, Sludge Bomb, and Flamethrower, so it should make a powerful addition to your team."
Will you be adding Shiny Eternatus to your party? Tell us below.

Via Serebii.
I don't live near GameStop, so I guess no shiny for me.
@Kermit1 YouTuber named Blaines will likely do a bot giveaway soon so no code needed. Just gotta wait a few weeks.
Never seen that one before. I suppose I better stop by Gamestop.
Pretty cool but I'm not going to GameStop and asking for the Pokémon code
This whole "go out of your way to get a physical code" thing is so unbelievably obsolete and outdated. Even without a global pandemic.
I wish BDSP and LA got more giveaways
its almost 2023, can't we just do a "sign up for Gamestop's Newsletter emails" and be done with it?
Well, this wouldn't have been a problem since my local GameStop was only 15 minutes away. Buuuut since they've closed down earlier this year that means the nearest one is 45 minutes away and they have a bunch of creeps working at that one, so I guess I'm sitting this one out. Not to mention they probably would want me to buy something instead of just handing out the code.
Gotta agree, this "travel to the store to maybe get something" crap is outdated. Just do online promotions period.
Sick of these store specific distributions when the internet exists
I haven't played much of Gen 8, is this a Mythical or not?
@EmoGamer I kind of stopped caring about these distributions after Game Freak went nuts during Gen 7 asking the US to go after code cards every other week. Target this week, GameStop the next. It got old after awhile.
(Sorry, The Pokemon Company. Game Freak probably has nothing to do with that end of the business.)
@EmoGamer: Oh yeah, my local did that too. But I'm pretty sure the other one that's further away from me wouldn't be as generous.
@UnseatingKDawg Legally they don't have a choice. They cannot force you to buy something to get the free card, here.
@EmoGamer I live to complain. I am The Great Complainer. It is my sole purpose in life. Now go, my dear child, spread word of my omnipotence throughout the realm!
Guess need to make run at GS to find them again.
@EmoGamer it's a discord bot trade. As legit as it gets. No one will know as they say lol beats going into gamestop and being hassled for a pro membership
It's a shame this is one of those shinies that just look like the same 'mon under a different light.
Anyone from the us who would like to trade this code for the mythical eu distribution (Genesect, Volcanion, Marshadow)?
@Friendly
Does that work? Yea I will. CA, but same same in this sense.
@EmoGamer Distance is likely a major factor. It's just stupid why they don't do this via Mystery Gift or Password.
What about Europe? I'm not that bothered tbh because looking at it here it just looks the same.
@EmoGamer what about the rest of us that dont live in the USA? This is still not confirmed for Mexico. What do we do? These store distributions are stupid
Wow: look at this cool new Pokemon you can't have!
I mean we did get 3 Mythicals over here in Ireland so I guess it balances out but man I would've loved to have this one (especially after missing out Zacian/mazenta due to it being part of a Trainer's Club newsletter or something like that).
@Tott I think that does work, yeah you’ve got a shiny Eternatus code? Then I’ll get the code for the other three this afternoon.
Hooray, a down under delay! It’s just like the old days!
I'm only in is it's a limited time event on a pokemon for legends arceus.
Sword and shield? Meh.
@Friendly
I'll have to go tomorrow, if that's fine, but yea let's give it a shot.
@Acein210 pretty cool youtuber just got this Eternatus from one of his bots last night 👍
@Friendly (or anyone else) I'm also willing to trade a Shiny Eternatus code for the Genesect/Volcanion/Marshadow distribution code across the pond.
@Friendly
Alright Friend, how do we do this? Is there like a DM option I can send you this without someone else snagging it? 😆
@Tott uhm…. Good question. Let’s exchange the codes tomorrow if you have an idea let me know! We aren’t allowed to exchange personal information as far as i know?
@Friendly
The rules say not to post anything that is personally identifiable...
So here, made for such an occasion, hopefully this is okay as it does not identify my person.
Email your code to me, and I'll reply with the eternatus one. Or however you'd like.
[email protected]
@Tott hi, I’ve send you one code for Genesect. If you could verify and send me the code for Eternatus after, I will send you the 2 other codes afterwards. Is that ok for you?
@ZZalapski hia. I have a second batch of codes of the mythical pokemon that I can trade for shiny Eternatus if you want?
@Friendly Sure, that'd be great. You can reach me at raichu<dot>526<at>gmail<dot>com . Thanks!
@ZZalapski cheers, thanks! I’ve send you an email with the first code of the bunch.
@Friendly Received and replied. Thanks!
@DigimonGamer nice name. But yeah its lazy lol
Hi guys! I have an extra Shiny Eternatus code that I would like to trade for the Genesect, Volcanion, Marshadow distribution. Anyone interested?

@link_hatchet of course, my priviledged friend. Try to live in a place where none of those gamestops or whatever stores exist 🤷🏻♂️
@link_hatchet if you put this much effort into left she wouldn’t have left you.
Your mom that is
@w00dm4n he might be rage baiting. Report him and let the admins do their job
@Savage_Joe oh haha I figured but it’s fun to toss one out once in awhile.
