Pokemon Giveaway Announced for GameStop

An Electric Tera-type Mimikyu will be coming to GameStop in October.

The Pokemon Company has announced a Halloween giveaway for GameStop that starts next month. As part of The Pokemon Conpany's plans to celebrate Halloween, GameStop will be giving away an Electric-Tera Type Mimikyu starting in October. Obviously, the Electric-Tera Type is a reference to the Pokemon's penchant for mimicking Pikachu, who is an Electric-type Pokemon. The Mimikyu will be distributed via codes given out at GameStop, with additional details revealed at a later date. 

Mimikyu is getting something of a spotlight during this Halloween season, with the Pokemon also appearing at Build-A-Bear to celebrate Halloween. Mimikyu is also appearing in a set of Halloween-themed Pokemon cards and as part of a Halloween Jazwares calendar box that comes with miniature toys of several Pokemon. The Pokemon Company also announced plans to release several new Pokemon Center lines of clothing focused on spooky Pokemon and a Halloween costume line with Disguise.com.
