Pokemon Sword and Shield offering special Sableye and Grimmsnarl for one day only

The Japanese and Korean Pokemon Trainers Cup 2022 has been taking place today, and as part of that, all Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield players can claim a special Sableye and Grimmsnarl for a limited time.

The Sableye and Grimmsnarl here are based on the one used by previous winners. Sableye contains the moves Fake Out, Quash, Foul Play, and Trick while Grimmsnarl uses Spirit Break, Scary Face, Trick, and Taunt. Both are at level 50 with the Eject Button.

For those looking to claim the Sableye and Grimmsnarl as used by the Japanese and Korean Pokemon Trainers Cup 2021 winners, follow the steps below in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield:

1. Launch Pokemon Sword/Shield
2. Select Mystery Gift on the X menu

A number of distributions in these games have been very limited, and this one follows the same pattern. You’ll only have until June 12 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM in the UK / 5 PM in Europe to claim these Pokemon.
