After the Shiny Eterantus event, Pokemon Sword & Shield players continue to be treated to exciting Mythical giveaways.
The latest is Marshadow, whose giveaway is now live across the US and Canada at Target and Gamestop stores. It will be available until November 12, 2022, so players have ample time to visit their nearest games retailer.
European players received the overlooked Fighting/Ghost-type critter last month and this is also the final giveaway in line for the confirmed three Mythical creatures. Let's take a look at what it brings to the table

This Pokemon has a unique Type combination of Fighting and Ghost as no other creature boasts this setup. It is similar to another giveaway monster, Volcanion, which is Fire and Water Type. Solid Speed and Attack stats make Marshadow a formidable opponent out on the field. It first made its appearance on the Nintendo 3DS with Generation 7's Sun & Moon entries.
When attacking (for example, using its exclusive Z-Move in the Sun & Moon games), Marshadow's fighting spirit will begin to burn, causing it to become Zenith Marshadow. Here, its head and scarf will take on a green shade and its eyes will flare up.
