Pokémon fans surprised with free download you can grab now

Pokémon fans can get a shiny variant of a rare Pokémon for free this month, for those who’ve playedPokémon Scarlet & Violet.

It’s been a weird week forPokémonfans, as The Pokémon Company was hit with a massive data breach that exposed details onPokémon Legends: Z-A, and what can only be described as bizarre fanfiction about some of the Pokémon.

As you can imagine, fans were quick to examine the leaks and share their thoughts, mostly about the strange lore that’s been brought to light.

If you’re one of those fans and want to forget the horrible things you’ve seen in the leaks, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a new Pokémon distribution event forPokémon Scarlet & Violet.

The event is for those who’ve linked thePokémon Homeapp to their games, and if you haven’t done that already now’s the best time to do so.

Once that’s taken care you’ll be able to claim a Shiny Meloetta for use in your game, but there’s a catch, you’ll have to complete the Pokédex in your game.

This includes the Paldea, Kitakami and Blueberry Academy Pokédexes, which is a tough challenge but not impossible, especially if you’ve got a friend willing to do some trading with you.

Once you’ve met the requirements, the Shiny Meloetta will appear in yourPokémon Homebox, where you can transfer it for use in your game.

Worth noting this is also the first available version of the Shiny Meloetta in one of the games, so it’s well-worth the effort if you want to get yourself a complete collection.
