How to get Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (all countries and where to get them)

Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon are all set to make their debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, although in a rather unconventional manner. Almost three years after its release, the featured critters from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet finally get their Shiny variants. Both these Paradox Pokemon have unique color schemes that are different from each other, matching their futuristic and prehistoric forms respectively.

To get a Shiny Miraidon or Koraidon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you will have to visit the partnered store in your country between September 26 and October 15, 2025. Unfortunately, not all countries are privy to this exclusive yet, and only select locations will have the promo running.
