Pokemon Pass mobile app released, use it at Target to get a free shiny Pikachu and Eevee
The Pokemon Company has stealthily released a new Pokemon app on the App Store and Play Store called Pokemon Pass. By using the app, players will earn goodies such as stickers, and perhaps more interestingly, Pokemon to send to your game. Apparently replacing having to bring your handheld with you to event locations, you can now visit participating retailers and scan a QR code through the app to receive Pokemon to be transferred to your Pokemon Let's Go game. Kicking off the launch of the app is a promotion that will give you a free Shiny Pikachu and Shiny Eevee, if you travel to any Target stores within May 11th and June 23rd. Currently, this is only available for those in the United States.
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! players can add a uniquely colored Pokémon to their game by visiting a US Target store between May 11 and June 23, 2019. Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! players can get a Shiny Eevee, while those playing Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! can get a Shiny Pikachu.
To receive one of these Pokémon, you'll need to download the new Pokémon Pass app for select iOS and Android devices. Pokémon Pass is available to download from the Pokémon Trainer Club account owners when they're at designated retail locations. If you're an account owner and enter a participating Target store, Pokémon Pass will use geolocation to automatically notify you of nearby reward offerings. The app will then guide you through several prompts, including one to scan a special QR Code found in-store, so you can claim your Shiny Pikachu or Shiny Eevee.
