Looking for a Pokémon that’s sure to tower over your opponents in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield? Well, from 27 August to 27 September 2021, players in the UK and Ireland can visit GAME and GameStop, respectively, to receive a code that allows them to claim a special Dynamax Crystal in their game. This Dynamax Crystal lets you encounter and battle a Gigantamax Duraludon in a Max Raid Battle at the Watchtower Lair in Galar’s Wild Area. Defeat this Steel- and Dragon-type Pokémon for a chance to catch it and add it to your party. You’ll be able to receive a code both in stores and online through the participating retailers’ websites.
To claim your in-game gift, follow these steps:
Launch your Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield game.
Select Mystery Gift on the X menu.
Select Get a Mystery Gift.
Select Get with Code/Password to save your game and connect to the internet.
Enter your code or password.
Watch as the gift arrives in your game. (Pokémon will appear in your party or your Pokémon Boxes. Items will appear in your Bag.)
Be sure to save your game.
To face Gigantamax Duraludon in a Max Raid Battle, follow these steps:
Go to the Watchtower Lair, a large Pokémon Den that lies at the base of the Watchtower Ruins in the Wild Area.
When you’re in front of the Watchtower Lair, select the Dynamax Crystal in your Bag and choose to use it. A large pillar of light will appear coming from the Watchtower Lair.
Press the A Button to investigate the active den and choose to challenge the Gigantamax Duraludon within. You can invite other players to join you or start the battle with NPC Trainers.
If Gigantamax Duraludon is defeated, all participants in the battle will have a chance to catch it.
You’ll be able to attempt this Max Raid Battle as many times as it takes to win until midnight on the day the Dynamax Crystal was used. You can use the code for each Dynamax Crystal only once and in only one game. Be aware that you can’t receive the reward more than once.
There’s no purchase required for this promotion, but the offer is only good while supplies last, so don’t delay—head over to GAME or GameStop (depending on your region) to get your code for a Dynamax Crystal right away!
