Gamestop Lechonk Promo for “Scarlet & Violet,” Changes to Promos!

As usual, Gamestop will be giving away a promo for the release of the latest set. This time it’s Lechonk for Scarlet & Violet. The promotion will start March 31st, the day the set releases in stores.

Unlike previous Gamestop promos, this one will be a reverse holo; the last few sets featured regular holofoil. The promo will come with the Gamestop logo in the corner of the artwork. This is the only feature distinguishing it from Lechonk’s normal reverse holo print.

Silver Tempest‘s Dragonite was the first time you didn’t need to make $15 of purchases to get the promo. We’ve been told by a Gamestop manager that some employees gave them away willy-nilly, which lead to issues with fair distribution among fans. Some employees also pocketed them. So there could be a $15 limitation in place again to ensure the promos are given away fairly. We don’t know if this will be the case yet, but we’ll find out soon!

This is also the first English card we’ve seen with the new “switch out” text.
