A new distribution event has been announced for Pokemon Sword and Shield players in certain regions.
As part of the event, the Pokemon Company will be giving away a serial code that players can use to claim a shiny Eternatus. It should be noted that the serial code can only be used once.
Thanks to the event, players will not have to spend a dime to get their hands on this once-in-a-lifetime version of a creature that was previously impossible to get.
There is a lot of new information about the event. This includes the distribution's time frame, the regions it can be collected in, and where players can get their hands on the serial code.
Pokemon Sword and Shield's Shiny Eternatus event: Everything to know
Players in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will be able to collect their shiny Eternatus from September 18, 2022, to October 1, 2022. They can pick up their serial code from a local GameStop or EBGames location for free. These locations will also host pre-orders for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Players in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore can get their hands on a serial code starting on September 16, 2022, two days earlier than the rest of the regions. The duration of the event is also much longer for these regions. It will last until November 17, 2022.
The locations where players can pick up their codes for Pokemon Sword and Shield include but are not limited to:
Philippines:
- Toys 'R' Us
- TOYBOX
- Toy Kingdom
- ITech
- SM Department Store
- GameXtreme
- Game One

These locations are the only ones that have been confirmed. More may be added closer to the event's release date.
Here's how players can use the serial code to redeem a shiny Eternatus:
- Open Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield.
- Go to the X menu and select Mystery Gift.
- Click on Get a Mystery Gift.
- Choose Get with Code/Password to connect to the internet.
- Enter the serial code. The gift will arrive in-game.
- Save your game.
The shiny Eternatus that Pokemon Sword and Shield trainers will get from the event will be at level 100. This means players won't be able to train the creature any further, aside from providing it with EVs to better improve its stats.
The IV spread of shiny Eternatus has not been announced. However, it can be assumed that they will vary in Pokemon Sword and Shield. These values will most likely be randomized upon redeeming the serial code for the first time. This will make finding one with "perfect" stats quite a difficult task.
Shiny Eternatus will have access to both of its signature moves, Eternabeam and Dynamax Cannon. It will also have the moves Sludge Bomb and Flamethrower.
