    Woohoooooo

    But you have to "preorder your Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet game".
    So it's not an entirely free give-away?

      No purchase is required to receive a code card, but the offer is only available while supplies last, so don’t delay. Head over to GameStop in the US and Canada or EB Games in Australia and New Zealand starting September 18 to claim your Shiny Eternatus!

        So how do you do it? Just walk in and ask for a code without preordering the new game?
        If you have to preorder the new game, you either pay a deposit or will need to pay for the game when it's released right?

          Just walk in asking for a code, no purchase required.

          I've done it in the past with other EB Games Events.

  • OzBoganYeah on 13/09/2022 - 11:10

    So the codes are unique?

      They will be unique codes on a scratch card/receipt.

  • russta on 17/09/2022 - 09:12

    Meh. Trade anything with Jesterbot on 3698 0099, and get it right now

    • HangryCakeStore on 17/09/2022 - 10:15

      Do u need online membership? Was that a FC?

  • catbarf on 18/09/2022 - 11:56

    Apparently this is not in Aus for about a month or two.

    • HangryCakeStore on 18/09/2022 - 12:40

      Other countries already got them, Australia once again getting shafted

  • barrymcbruce on 18/09/2022 - 12:50

    My local eb had none and the guy had no idea when they were getting them.

  • mn8928 on 18/09/2022 - 13:06

    Attended two stores. No stock and nobody has any idea.
    Called Eb chadstone and was told it will be available in Nov in AU.

    • Datatemp on 18/09/2022 - 13:09

      How annoying, the website stated “ … add Shiny Eternatus to your Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield team. From September 18 to October 1, 2022” so available to Aussie a month later????

      • mn8928 on 18/09/2022 - 13:29

        Previsely two month later. The guy told me it would be 18th Nov.But I doubt what the guy said was true. These guy sounds like they kbow nothing. The first store I attended sounds rediculous. They told me to bring my switch and search for the code myself.

        • Datatemp on 18/09/2022 - 13:59

          I went into 2 and called 2, the 2 that I called said you need to redeem the Pokémon through mystery gift, I told him the key is I need the code then he said it’s in the but that’s in the mystery gift, clearly he has no idea too

    • JayMoney on 18/09/2022 - 14:52

      I went to Chadstone, the guy said that the codes aren't even in Australia yet and they have no idea when they might arrive.

  • DavidBrookes on 18/09/2022 - 14:30

    Went into my local EB Games store and they did not have the codes - just said to come in each day and see if they had got them. They did not seem to be sure if they were getting them or not.

  • OzBoganYeah on 18/09/2022 - 17:33

    I went to get a code today for my nephew but the guy behind the counter had no idea what i was talking about…

  • glockenpop on 19/09/2022 - 05:33

    Went into the EB store in Melbourne Central and was told there was a miscommunication from Nintendo, EB wasn’t informed of this offer at all. Incidentally GameStop in America has started offering the same code today so maybe that’s where the confusion from Nintendo came from?

    Update from EB Games Tweet:

    Hi there,
    Thank you for reaching out to us! I can confirm that we will be stocking the Shiny Eternatus Codes! They are expected to arrive in early October and I would keep an eye on our social channels for more information as it becomes available

    I’m very confused as I walked into my local EB on Sunday (when this was originally pegged to start) and the staff said they hadn’t arrived yet, though they know what I was talking about. Popped back in on Tuesday and they had a pile of them! Can’t have been the only store to get them?

    • RichardL on 22/09/2022 - 22:40

      Appears EB Games has updated their page to:

      Please check with your local store for more details including availability of stock.

      I'm assuming some store received stock now.

  • vSchweetz on 23/09/2022 - 15:53

    All stores should now have them. Codes must be redeemed by 6:59pm AEDT 1 January 2023.

    • RichardL on 24/09/2022 - 12:19

      Can confirm, checked at two different EB Games.

    • DavidBrookes on 24/09/2022 - 12:30

      Called the local EB Games Store (Hay St, Perth WA) and was told first week on October.

  • FrenchFrie on 06/12/2022 - 12:32

    Oh no, forgot about this completely… Anyone has a spare by any chance? Thanks in advance!

  • FrenchFrie on 26/12/2022 - 18:43

    Still looking for one 😊
