Second Wave of Codes for Illustrator Contest Promos Going Out!

A second wave of codes for the 2022 Illustrator Contest promos are now being e-mailed to eligible customers from the Pokemon Center.

The Pokemon Center says “you may receive a code weeks before or after someone else.” This implies more waves will follow in the coming weeks.

The first wave was sent last Tuesday.


As posted before, your code can be redeemed for a pack containing three non-holo promos of Arcanine, Greninja, and Bulbasaur.

In order to redeem the code, you must make a Pokemon Center purchase totaling $30 USD (before taxes), $30 CAD (excluding GST), or £30 GBP (inclusive of VAT).

The code e-mail is sent from “[email protected]” with the subject “Big news from the Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Contest.”

Each code is for one-time use only and will expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time Zone on September 30th, 2023.

The Japanese cards were given out to Pokemon Center customers starting December 16th when they spent more than 2,000 yen (about $15).
