Pokemon Violet

We have another update on the Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon code distribution for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with GameStop now issuing a statement.

Fans in the United States haven’t been happy with how the distribution has been handled. After the event began at the end of September, codes were quickly taken up – and many by scalpers. As we previously mentioned, the distribution started on the same day as a new set for the Pokemon Trading Card Game.

After the recent fiasco with the Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon distribution for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet at GameStop, codes have been restocked.

The in-store promotion kicked off at stores across the United States about a week ago. Soon after, however, chaos ensued. Codes were quickly gobbled up – many by scalpers – leaving many fans unable to get a code. Plenty of codes quickly flooded eBay for exorbitant prices.

Part of the issue was the day in which the promotion began. The new Pokemon Trading Card Game pack Mega Evolution launched at the same time, so that was not a good recipe for success. Pokemon cards themselves have been tough to come by and have brought out plenty of scalpers on their own. They were looking to take advantage of the Mega Evolution drop, and at the same time, took advantage of the hype for Shiny Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as well.
