Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can get a shiny Chi-Yu, which will be available for free until September 30. Distribution events are a way for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players to obtain rare or unique pocket monsters that are not usually available through regular gameplay. These distributions can happen in many ways, including codes, passwords, and events.

Chi-Yu In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Chi-Yu is part of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Legendary quartet, and its design is that of a fish with two jade beads and a black orb for eyes. Interestingly, despite this appearance, Chi-Yu is a Dark/Fire-type Pokemon, and its body can burn at over 3,000 Cº. Another curious fact related to its design is that this is not its real form: the real Chi-Yu is the jade beads that form its eyes, which came into existence due to the envy of those who coveted them to the point of starting wars over them. Chi-Yu is a monster with an unusual history and appearance. For a limited time, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will be able to obtain a special version of it.
