Ash’s Gengar event now live for Pokemon Sword and Shield

To celebrate the Pokemon Masters Tournament in the anime, Ash’s current team is being distributed via event code for Pokemon Sword and Shield. Despite it being targeted in Japan, it seems players worldwide can take advantage. Whilst Ash’s Dragonite will remain live until September 8, Ash’s Gengar is now being distributed for the next two weeks.

The creature comes in at level 80 and has the moves Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Dazzling Gleam, and Will-o-wisp. It has the ability Cursed Body and is capable of Gigantamaxing.

Keep in mind that this is a limited time distribution. Ash’s Gengar will be available in the games until September 15, 2022.

According to The Pokemon Company, Gengar will make shadows move and laugh independently of their owners on a night of the full moon.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield first released in 2019 and are both available on Switch. For more information about the games, visit the official website here.
