The Pokémon Company International is continuing to promote its official Pokémon Together campaign. Read on below to learn more:
We shine the spotlight on the ever-endearing Lechonk with special distributions, promotions, and Pokémon Center goods.
There are over 1,000 Pokémon out there, and with so many wonderful potential partners, it’s fun to take time to focus on one Pokémon to celebrate it and appreciate the joy it brings to the Pokémon world. Today, that honor falls on Lechonk, the lovable Hog Pokémon originally discovered in the Paldea region from the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games. See Lechonk in action in the video above, then make sure to check out these other fun appearances the little Pokémon is making as we Discover Pokémon Together.
To celebrate the release of the new Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Scarlet & Violet, you can get a promo card featuring Lechonk at select retailers as a special gift with purchase.
If you’re looking to share your dedication to Lechonk with the world, the Pokémon Center has everything you need to make your feelings known. Check out the Lechonk collection for a variety of Lechonk shirts, hats, playmats, and pins.
Round out your team in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet with a special distribution allowing you to receive a Lechonk with Flying as its Tera Type. Opponents are sure to be surprised when your unassuming Normal type Terastallizes into a Flying–Tera Type Pokémon, proving that pigs really can fly!
Lechonk loves foraging for delicious berries, so we’ve put together a special Pokémon TV channel dedicated to Pokémon the Series episodes that feature the tasty treats. Tune in until April 14, 2023, to see Ash, Pikachu, and their friends enjoy some “berry” exciting adventures.
Spread some Lechonk love in Pokémon UNITE by logging into the game until April 17, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. PDT. When you do, you can throw a Berry to Lechonk to receive a Lechonk-themed frame, stickers, and other items that can be used for player customization.
It’s great to see our porcine pal get some well-deserved recognition. Enjoy discovering Lechonk, Trainers!
