GameStop announces special new Pokemon Sword and Shield event


A new one Pokemon Sword and Shield Dynamax Crystal event announced by GameStop. Beginning Aug. 14, GameStop customers can scan a code using the Pokemon Pass app to receive the SGR 6879 Dynamax Crystal. If used in the game, this will allow Dynamax Crystal players to take part in a Max Raid battle in the Watchtower Ruins to obtain a Gigantamax Copperajah. This event features the same Copperajah that was made available at a similar event held in Europe earlier this summer, so fans who may have missed out may finally feel like a Gigantamax Copperajah of their own, if they haven’t caught one yet !

The Copperajah that players receive has maximum IVs in HP, attack and special attack, but it has a speed IV of 0. Pokemon Sword and Shield have made it easier for casual players to get competitive Pokemon, and this Copperajah should be perfect for players who want to add a strong Steel type to their team! The Copperajah will have the moves Heavy Slam, Curse, Body Press, and Play Rough.

Copperajah has introduced a new Pokemon Pokemon Sword and Shield. The Pokemon evolves from the Pokemon Cufant. Although the Pokemon is relatively common in the game, the Gigantamax version is less easy to come by. The Dynamax Crystal lets players get the Gigantamax version without chasing anyone or using the new Max Soup item added in the recent Isle of Armor expansion.

For those who may not be familiar with Pokemon Pass, it is a mobile device app that allows users to scan specific codes in stores, resulting in codes that can then be used in the games. The app was introduced last year, and its use by The Pokemon Company has been somewhat limited. Most notably, Pokémon: Let’s go Players could receive a Shiny Pikachu as well as a Shiny Eevee by scanning a code at participating Target locations. Since then, however, the app has offered nothing too significant.

The Copperajah event will last until August 31st. Pokemon Sword and Shield is available now, exclusively on Nintendo Switch. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game here.
