Summary
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetreleased a new code distribution event in which players can claim a special Rillaboom. The Rillaboom code distribution event inPokemon Scarlet and Violetruns until July 31, so trainers have at least three months to add this special critter to their collections.
Known as the Drummer Pokemon, Rillaboom first appeared inPokemon Sword and Shield. Rillaboom is the fully-evolved form of starter Pokemon Grookey and Thwackey, and it uses a special tree stump as a drum that channels its attacks. Rillaboom’s signature move is Drum Beating, which summons roots to attack the target and lower its speed statistic. Rillaboom can take advantage of its high attack stat with moves like Boomburst and Wood Hammer, meaning it can hold its own in most battle situationscompared to other Grass Pokemon Starters.
Similar tohow past Pokemon like Jumpluff have been distributed,Pokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers may now claim a special Rillaboom for their collections. According to Serebii.net, trainers can obtain Rillaboom using the code “R1LLAB00M2024TW” inPokemon Scarlet and Violetvia the Mystery Gift menu. The distribution event runs until July 10, 2025, soPokemonplayers have at least three months from the time of this writing to claim the Drummer Pokemon. Trainers must be connected to the Internet and have a free Nintendo account to accept Mystery Gifts, though a Nintendo Switch Online membership is not needed. Rillaboom can only be claimed once per save file and will be obtained at level 50 inside a Cherish Ball. This Rillaboom is modeled after one used by Wei Chyr, the winner of the 2023-24 Pokemon Championships held in Taiwan in June 2024.
