Pokémon Scarlet and Violet eShop pre-purchase bonus includes special in-game Pikachu

During the today’s Pokémon Presents, The Pokémon Company announced that those who purchase the game through the Nintendo eShop early will receive a special in-game Pikachu as a gift. The special Pika will know the move Fly (which it normally can’t learn) and its Tera-type will be Flying. Have a look — and be amazed at the glorious Pika:

 

 

Players will be able to get their Pikachu by choosing “Get” through the “Internet” from the Mystery Gift feature in their game up until Tuesday, February 28th, 2023.

The Pokémon Company made sure to note that this particular Pikachu cannot be obtained through regular gameplay, so pre-purchasing will be the only means of acquiring it. Make sure to take advantage of the offer while you can!
