To celebrate Pokémon Day 2025, The Pokémon Company is bringing back a beloved tradition with a special giveaway for a fan-favorite Pokémon. This year, fans can snag a unique Flying-Tera type Eevee in *Pokémon Scarlet* or *Violet*, but it requires a bit more effort than just booting up your Nintendo Switch or mobile device. Here's how you can get your hands on this exclusive Pokémon.
