Pokémon Trainers have a new chance to add a rare creature to their collection. Completing certain Pokédex entries in the Pokémon HOME app will unlock a Shiny Volcanion. This special offer is part of the promotion tied to the upcoming release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the highly anticipated new title in the franchise.
An exclusive reward for dedicated collectors
The initiative aims to encourage players to explore and complete all the game data relating to the creatures they have caught. To claim this Shiny Volcanion, players must have completed three specific Pokédex in the Pokémon HOME app: the Lumiose Pokédex, the Mega Dex, and the Extra Dex. These Pokédex are directly linked to the data of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Once all three Pokédex are filled in, players must go to the “Games” tab of the Pokémon HOME app. That is where they can confirm that the conditions are met and receive their reward. Note that this reward is also available to players who completed these Pokédex in the past, and no time limit is implied for this campaign.
Shiny Volcanion: stats and moves
The Volcanion on offer stands out not only for its Shiny coloring, a rare variant of the Pokémon’s usual appearance, but also for its battle potential. This Water/Fire-type Pokémon is known for its power, and this special version comes with four formidable moves: Steam Eruption, Flare Blitz, Hydro Pump, and Heavy Slam. These attacks give it remarkable versatility in battle.
Besides its already stunning appearance, this Pokémon knows four powerful moves: Steam Eruption, Flare Blitz, Hydro Pump, and Heavy Slam.
