From Sept 26 to Oct 15, get exclusive codes for Shiny Koraidon or Shiny Miraidon at GameStop (US) and EB Games (Canada, Australia, NZ). Don’t miss this rare Pokémon giveaway!
From September 26 to October 15, 2025, Pokémon fans in select countries have a golden opportunity to add two of the most sought-after shiny legendaries to their collections—Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon. These exclusive shiny Pokémon are available through a special code distribution event at GameStop locations across the United States and EB Games stores in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
This limited-time giveaway allows players of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet to obtain a redeemable code for either Shiny Koraidon (in Violet) or Shiny Miraidon (in Scarlet). Each code unlocks one shiny legendary Pokémon per game copy, so collectors aiming to acquire both will need copies of both game versions or access to more than one code. Notably, these shiny forms have been shiny-locked since their initial release, making this event the first official chance to capture these rare variants without resorting to glitches or hacks.
To claim the shiny Pokémon, players need to bring their game cartridges and receive a special card with a redeemable code from participating stores. Redemption follows a straightforward process within the game: launching the game, navigating to the Poké Portal from the X menu, selecting Mystery Gift, and entering the code online. The shiny Pokémon then materializes either in the player’s party or Pokémon Boxes, where it can be saved permanently.
No purchase is required to obtain these codes; however, supplies are limited and vary by store, leading to reports of some locations running out early. Players are thus advised to visit their local GameStop or EB Games promptly to secure their code before the distribution ends on October 15. Some stores may ask players to show proof of game ownership or request that players bring their consoles when picking up a code, so checking ahead is recommended to avoid disappointment.
This shiny distribution also coincides with ongoing in-game events and marks a special milestone in Generation IX Pokémon collecting and competitive play. Both Koraidon and Miraidon hold significant competitive value, especially in Tera Raid Battles, and owning their shiny versions represents a prestigious addition for both casual and dedicated trainers.
The distribution’s regional exclusivity means fans outside these territories might face challenges acquiring these shinies, though trading communities often help bridge availability gaps.
In summary, this giveaway event is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to enrich their teams with coveted shiny legendaries. Hurry to participating retailers and claim your Shiny Koraidon or Shiny Miraidon while supplies las!
