A Shiny Toxtricity promotion planned for Sword and Shield Pokémon has been filtered online. A new Reddit post has leaked an upcoming GameStop promotion, which will provide players in the United States and Canada with brilliant toxicity. Players will receive a QR code that they can scan into the file Pokémon Pass application to unlock Shiny Toxtricity in your games. While some fans are concerned that the promotion requires players to enter a GameStop store to get the QR code needed to get the shiny Pokémon, above Pokemon Home the distributions used a common QR code posted on a public site, which potentially means someone can scan the code of a photo posted online. No movement information was available at this time, but it will likely be provided when the distribution is officially released.
The promotion will begin on February 19, which seems to suggest that this promotion joins the expected Bright destinations expansion for the Pokemon trading card game. The upcoming expansion will feature more than 120 bright Pokémon cards and many stores have already run out of orders due to high demand. One of the reasons for the high demand is that, unlike normal expansions, Bright destinations will have no sale of individual reinforcement packages. Instead, fans will have to buy games and special cans to get the cards. The jewel in the expansion crown is the Shiny Charizard VMAX card, which will likely sell for hundreds of dollars in the secondary market.
He Bright destinations card expansion is just one of the ways the Pokemon franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The celebration includes new products, new games and other amazing collaborations with popular brands and celebrities. The Pokemon company has already announced a musical collaboration with pop star Katy Perry called P25 Music, as well as a new McDonald’s promotion and a Levi’s clothing line. The franchise also features several new games: New Pokemon Snap will debut in April and Pokemon UNITE will be released later this year. More announcements are also expected, including a new pair of Pokémon games that are expected to be remade Diamond and Pearl Pokémon.
