There’s a trio of Mythical Pokémon waiting to join your travels through the Galar region—all you need to do to find them is visit your local GAME store in the UK or GameStop in Ireland. Until 30 September 2022, you can get codes there that let you receive Genesect, Volcanion, and Marshadow in your Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield game. In Australia, you can receive the codes at your local JB Hi-Fi from October 21 until November 18, 2022.
While you’re at the store, be sure to check out the recently released Pokémon Trading Card Game: Sword & Shield—Lost Origin expansion, too. It features brand-new Radiant Pokémon, awesome new Pokémon VSTAR, and the return of the Lost Zone, a place from which discarded cards cannot be recovered!
