Since the North America International Championships will happen this weekend, June 30, 2023, to July 3, 2023, Trainers will be up for a special treat as part of the celebration for the competition – Free Shiny Arcanine will be made available on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Shiny Arcanine for Free on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Based on what is currently shared by Serebii.net over on Twitter, the Pokemon that will be given away isn't just any Arcanine, it's a Shiny Arcanine based on the Trainer who won the Europe International Championships earlier this year, Paul Chua.

The code for the Free Shiny Arcanine has been revealed and will be available from today, June 30, 2023, until July 3, 2023, in celebration of the competition happening in North America.

Code: PAULEU1CW1N

This Shiny Arcanine that you will be getting has a Grass Tera Type with the Intimidate ability. The moveset of this Shiny Arcanine that you'll be getting will include Flare Blitz, Extreme Speed, Will-o-Wisp, and Protect which comes with the Safety Googles for its Held Item. This Pokemon instantly is a proven worthy addition to your main team of 6 so make sure to make space for this special competition-winning Shiny Arcanine!

The winner, Paul Chua, has expressed his gratitude and amazement for being the one that is being honored for this giveaway. He states, “I remember back in 2013 when they were giving out Pokemon based off the Worlds winners and thought that was pretty cool. Honestly still amazed that I'm able to get my own version of it 10 years later.”
