NINTENDO has been blessing Switch owners with plenty of freebies recently.
The latest offer for Nintendo Switch is one of the best ever, giving away one of the best in the world.
You can grab your World Champion until the end of the week.
The Pokémon World Championships are well underway, with the best players around the world gathering in Yokohama, Japan.
Players will compete to win across a number of Pokémon games, including Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon TCG, Pokémon Go and Pokémon Unite.
With prizes of up to $10k (£8k) up for grabs, competition is fierce to grab the win.
To celebrate the biggest Pokémon competition of the year, Pokémon is giving away a 2022 World Championship winning Pokémon.
Gastrodon has two Pokémon World Championships under its belt, winning in both 2018 and 2022.
The Gastrodon that you can grab is based on Eduardo Cunha’s 2022 Gastrodon, which took home the World Championship title last year.
Gastrodon comes with its moves, item, and stats matching the ones that Cunha’s had last year.
It is the East Sea variant and comes with the item Leftovers to help it stay on the field as long as possible.
Gastrodon is running the moves Icy Wind, Earth Power, Protect, and Yawn, and comes with the ability Storm Drain.
Tera wasn’t available in the 2022 World Championship, but this Gastrodon has the Water-tera type and comes with the Battle Champion Ribbon.
It is heavily invested in Special Defense, Defense, HP and Special Attack, with 0IVs in Physical Attack.
This is to avoid Gastrodon taking too much damage if it hits itself in confusion.
Gastrodon also has middling Speed, which is likely to outspeed Amoonguss, while still being slow enough to absorb any Water-type attacks.
You can claim your Gastrodon via Mystery Gift by entering the code 23WCSGASTR0D0N.
It is only available until the end of the World Championships, which end on Monday, August 14, 2023.
