The Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon codes at GameStop ended up being incredibly disappointing for fans as most stores ran out within hours of opening on the first day. Not only was this an issue in the West, but reports that codes ran out equally fast in Japan too. Mega Evolution TCG has launched and the Scarlet & Violet era is now over. Pokémon TCG Pocket is getting a new set that will be around for a limited time. After getting back from Paris, Steve played a full hour of Pokémon Legends Z-A and can share thoughts about the game and the battle system.

With Pokémon Worlds around the corner, we learn how to actually play the Legends Z-A demo early if you are attending (and yes, it'll only be for people who have a pass to attend Worlds). The drama behind the Ho-Oh missing art has been fixed quickly. We defeated over 6 million Wo-Chien and the Shiny is now in Mystery Gift. Pokémon GO is getting three small events in the USA for Eternatus. Pokémon is getting a new event in Japan at select observatories.
