Grab a special Charizard in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet for a limited time

As we gear up for the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet double-DLC-drops this year, Game Freak and company are doling out more free gifts for the pair of recent mainline games. This time the newest promo involves a dark Tera Type Charizard: and who doesn’t love a Charizard?! Especially given that you can’t acquire one in Scarlet & Violet through normal gameplay.

Here’s how to get the special July 2023 Charizard

We have a full breaꦜkdown on how to access the m🐻ystery gift system here. In short, it involves finishing up the tutorial (which requires you to get through the academy po𓆉rtion, after the bout with Arven) to fully unl🎶ock the required menu.

After you’ve completed the tutorial, complete the following steps:

• Press X and select “Poke Portal”
• On the Poke Portal screen, scroll down and find the code option and select it
• Enter the code DARKTERA0006

Here are some details for the July 2023 Charizard in case you need to discern whether or not it’s worth even booting up the game for:

• Level 50
• Dark Tera Type
• Moves: Crunch, Flare Blitz, Acrobatics, Belly Drum

This promo will run through August 31, 2023, so you have some time. If you’re seeking out more information, the original source of this code .

[Update: Nintendo has provided a new trailer for the event, which also ties into an “Obsidian Flames” trading card game product]
