For a limited time, Pokemon Sword & Shield gamers can get a free unique Charizard. The ‘mon, which is champion Leonardo ‘Ilbona’ Bonanomi’s winning Pokemon, is being given out to commemorate the end of the Global Exhibition 2021. The Global Exhibition 2021 event pitted the world’s best competitive players from the Players Cup and other international tournaments against each other in a series of intense bouts in the Nintendo Switch Gen VIII game.
Ilbona, an Italian VGC (Video Game Championships) player, won the Global Finals with a Charizard, which is currently being given away for free for a limited time to all Pokemon Sword & Shield players.
Here’s how to get your hands on it.
