Lechonk rides againGame Freak and Nintendo are no stranger to Pokemon promos (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-get-the-flying-pikachu-mystery-gift-in-pokemon-scarlet-violet/): whether they require you to go to a retail location or not. This newest one unfortunately is the former; and oh, it's also tied to GameStop. Just like the flying Pikachu doled out at the launch of the new generation, this promo Pokemon is also in flight: and it's a pig. Get it?! With April Fools' coming up, you know someone couldn't resist. Yep, it's a flying tera type Lechonk.
If you follow the GameStop link in the announcement tweet (https://twitter.com/GameStop/status/1640836223236276224), you'll just get a generic "find a GameStop in my area" landing page. But TCG site Pokebeach has more info (https://www.pokebeach.com/2023/03/flying-tera-type-lechonk-distribution-promo-card-at-gamestop), noting that the codes will be available in stores on March 31, in an effort to tie it to the Scarlet & Violet new TCG set. Welp, marketing kinda botched that connection! Pokebeach says that there is no purchase necessary for these promo cards (as in the past), which will provide a code to download the flying Lechonk.
There's also a separate promo going on featuring the Pokemon TCG, which is potentially linked to a $15 in-store purchase, as a reverse holo card. I say "potentially" because individual stores might not require said purchase, but that's going to be up to the stores themselves.
Either way, you can get a free Lechonk. Maybe you already have 20.
