GameStop Restocks Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon Codes for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

10/05/2025

A recent promotional event offering Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon for the popular titles Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet garnered significant attention upon its launch. However, many enthusiastic players in the United States faced difficulties in securing these special codes from local retailers. This led to considerable disappointment among the fan base eagerly awaiting these unique creatures.

Fortunately, an encouraging update has emerged: the retail giant GameStop has confirmed a new supply of codes directly from The Pok\u00e9mon Company. This provides a much-anticipated second opportunity for trainers who missed out during the initial rollout to obtain one of these highly sought-after Shiny Pok\u00e9mon. The announcement has been met with relief and excitement, ensuring more players can add these formidable characters to their collections.

The official communication details that each code allows players to receive either Shiny Koraidon in Pok\u00e9mon Violet or Shiny Miraidon in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet. It is important to note that only one of these two Pok\u00e9mon can be claimed per code. These particular Shiny variants are not only visually distinct but also possess considerable power, making them exceptionally useful in both competitive gameplay and challenging Tera Raid Battles. Therefore, securing one of these Pok\u00e9mon is a significant advantage for any trainer looking to enhance their team's capabilities.

Further details confirm that no purchase is required to receive a code, simplifying the acquisition process for players. These codes are now being printed directly on store receipts, ensuring a straightforward distribution method. Additionally, it has been reported that EB Games in Canada will also be receiving a fresh allocation of these codes, extending the opportunity to trainers across North America. The Pok\u00e9mon Company has emphasized that these codes are subject to availability and will only be distributed while supplies last, urging interested players to act promptly.

For those eager to redeem their in-game gift, the process is simple and user-friendly. First, launch your copy of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet or Pok\u00e9mon Violet. Next, navigate to the 'Pok\u00e9 Portal' from the main X menu. Select 'Mystery Gift,' followed by 'Get with Code/Password' to establish an internet connection. Enter your unique code when prompted, and then watch as your new Shiny Pok\u00e9mon appears in your game, either joining your active party or being sent directly to your Pok\u00e9mon Boxes. Finally, remember to save your game to ensure your new acquisition is safely recorded.

This renewed availability offers a crucial second chance for players in North America to secure a free Shiny Koraidon or Miraidon. Given their competitive advantages and rarity, trainers are encouraged to visit participating GameStop or EB Games locations soon to claim their code before supplies are depleted.
