Grab a special Charizard in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet for a limited time

As we gear up for the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet double-DLC-drops this year, Game Freak and company are doling out more free gifts for the pair of recent mainline games. This time the newest promo involves a dark Tera Type Charizard: and who doesn’t love a Charizard?! Especially given that you can’t acquire one in Scarlet & Violet through normal gameplay.

Here’s how to get the special July 2023 Charizard

We have a full breakdown on how to access the mystery gift system here. In short, it involves finishing up the tutorial (which requires you to get through the academy portion, after the bout with Arven) to fully unlock the required menu.

After you’ve completed the tutorial, complete the following steps:

  • Press X and select “Poke Portal”
  • On the Poke Portal screen, scroll down and find the code option and select it
  • Enter the code DARKTERA0006

Here are some details for the July 2023 Charizard in case you need to discern whether or not it’s worth even booting up the game for:

  • Level 50
  • Dark Tera Type
  • Moves: Crunch, Flare Blitz, Acrobatics, Belly Drum

This promo will run through August 31, 2023, so you have some time. If you’re seeking out more information, the original source of this code is straight from The Pokemon Company’s site.

[Update: Nintendo has provided a new trailer for the event, which also ties into an “Obsidian Flames” trading card game product]
