Since the first generation ofPokemonreleased over 20 years ago, Charmander has been one of the mostpopular starter creatures, thanks to its powerful and stylish final evolution: Charizard. Since no game would be complete without the Fire/Flying dragon in it,Pokemon SunandMoonplayers are being offered a Charizard of their very own for a limited time period.
To get a free Level 50 Charizard in your copy ofPokemon SunorPokemon Moon, players must visit a participating Target store between October 1-14. There they will be able to claim a code card, which will bring the powerful creature into their own games, complete with a pretty competitive move set.
Charizard will know Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Fly, and Flare Blitz once it arrives in-game through thePokemonMystery Gift function. In addition, thePokemonwill be holding a Red Card, a consumable item that forces opponents to switch to anotherPokemonafter attacking Charizard.
As usual, Charizard will also have the Blaze ability, which allows it to attack for more damage when using Fire-Type moves. Seeing as Flare Blitz already has a power of 120, this will result in some devastating HP loss for the opponent’sPokemon, though trainers should beware, as Charizard will take a third of the total damage done as recoil.
In the spirit of free gifts, ThePokemonCompany is also allowing players to claim a free Pikachu complete with anAsh Ketchum hatevery week as part of a promotion for the upcoming ‘I Choose You’ movie. Right now, players can get their hands on the Sinnoh generation hat but those who want the iconic original cap are going to have to look for a trade as they already have missed their chance.
ThelegendaryPokemonCelebican also be redeemed in-game right now, though this special promotion is only available to those who pick up a copy of the newly re-releasedPokemon SilverorPokemon Gold.
