How to get free Shiny Lucario in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
DexertoThe Pokemon Company has released a free Shiny Lucario in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, to celebrate the upcoming release of The Indigo Disk DLC.
The latest Pokemon that’s being given away as a Mystery Gift is special, as Shiny Pokemon are extremely rare to encounter. In the case of the latest Pokemon Scarlet & Violet giveaway, it’s also one of the most popular Pokemon in the franchise’s history.
Lucario was introduced in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl as a new Steel/Fighting-type Pokemon. Since then, it has been featured in one of the Pokemon movies, been a Pokemon representative in Super Smash Bros., and was part of Ash Ketchum’s final team in the anime.
A Shiny Lucario can be a pain to encounter, especially in Pokemon Go, but Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will be giving them out for free, so long as players own a copy of either game within a specific timeframe.
