PSA: You can get a free shiny Eternatus Pokemon code through GAME

Note that it's technically a UK promotion

In what is one of the nicer, but extremely late giveaways in the Pokemon space: UK retailer GAME is allowing folks to pick up a free Shiny Eternatus code without going into the store.

As highlighted by Joe Merrick of Serebii.net fame, GAME now has a web form that you can simply fill out to gain access to the Pokemon in Sword and Shield. Here are the details on what you actually get:

"Shiny Eternatus will arrive in your game 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!"

While the promo is technically suited for the UK region, and some users have noted that they are geo-blocked: others have been able to access it and utilize the email form. Note that you have until November 17 to take advantage (or until they run out), and you can tap someone you know in the UK if the site is giving you trouble.

How to get a free shiny Eternatus in Pokemon Sword and Shield

Just go here, and input your email!

The site indicates that you will not get GAME marketing emails: but rather, this form is just for the code.
