How to get Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (all countries and where to get them)

Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon are all set to make their debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, although in a rather unconventional manner. Almost three years after its release, the featured critters from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet finally get their Shiny variants. Both these Paradox Pokemon have unique color schemes that differ from each other, matching their futuristic and prehistoric forms, respectively.

To get a Shiny Miraidon or Koraidon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you must visit the partnered store in your country between September 26, 2025, and October 15, 2025. Unfortunately, not all countries are privy to this exclusive yet, and only select locations will have the promo running.

Note: We will update this article with more locations and their partnered stores once the code distributions from them are confirmed.

Follow these steps to get a Shiny Miraidon or Koraidon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

• Visit your country's partnered store between September 26 and October 15, 2025.
• Ask for an exclusive code card for Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon. No purchase is required from the store to get the code card.
• Scratch the card to reveal a code.
• Open Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on your Nintendo Switch (or Switch 2) and redeem the code.

Based on the game that you redeem your code in, the Shiny Pokemon that you get will differ. If you redeem the code in Pokemon Violet, you will get a Shiny Koraidon, and if you redeem it in Pokemon Scarlet, you will get a Shiny Miraidon.

Essentially, you will get the Shiny variant of the opposite game's featured Pokemon. Moreover, each code can be redeemed only once, after which it will be invalid.
