I've never used these promotions before. Can you actually use these pokemon in the campaign?
Didn't know about the tins coming. I love Yveltal so even though I don't really collect cards anymore, I'm gonna grab that tin. Yveltal and Mewtwo are pretty much the only ones I do this for. Though for some reason I'm getting the legendary card sets that come out each month too.Haters gonna hate.
For those that want more details on this month's Pokemon Promotions:
The Gamestop Darkrai promotion just has to do with the monthly rotation of 20th Anniversay pokeymans stuff happening this year. This month is Darkrai month. Last month was Jirachi month. There's a TCG special pack out with a Darkrai full art card that looks really pretty, as well as a Darkri plushie and a Darkrai toy in a pokeball (sold separately at premium cost, of course).
The Zygarde is to help cross-promote the TCG Shiny Kalos TGC tins - there is a Shiny Ylveltal-EX, Shiny Xernaes-EX, and a Zygarde (100%)-EX tin coming out mid-month, and the Nintendo Network gift pokemon will rotate between those 3 this month.
So SHINY YVELTAL AND XERNAES COMING UP, FOLKS!!!
Here's the schedule, they look awesome.

Nope! I'm looking at my Mew card and it reads in the fine print: This code must be redeemed by May 31, 2016.Don't they expire after the 24th of the month?
Hit up Pokken or Smash.I was signed up to the pokemon trainer club newsletter before the gen 1 birds thing but they have the bright idea of requiring you to renew so I didn't get it.
f'ing hell.
I need a pikachu to abuse.
Dang...I just redeemed my extra Mew since it was a week away from expiringAnyone got extra Mew code? I got Darkrai for trade. Thanks.
I cloned a few of those event ones, if you want, pm me your 3ds friend code.Rats I missed the Shiny Yveltal event. If anyone wants to trade it to me for either Mew or Darkrai, please send me a PM.
