The promo codes are ‘PLAYERSCH01CEPC’ and ‘PJCS2020CHAMP’

Pokemon SwordandShieldpromo codesare a fact of life. No matter what the occasion, Game Freak and Nintendo find a way to get people to log in and type in mystery gift codes: even if it’s been months (or years) since people have played. It’s the siren’s song of free stuff. This weekend the powers that be are running a dual promotion, with a free Torkoal and a Gold Bottle Cap.

To grab the former, you’ll use the code “PJCS2020CHAMP.” To get the latter cap, you’ll enter “PLAYERSCH01CEPC.” The Torkoal will be holding a Sitrus Berry, and will come with the moves burning jealousy, body press, yawn, and protect.
