Actually excited for this. I haven't done one of these since like, Gen 5, when I got the shiny legendaries. Seems like an odd time with the Rona but just be smart, wear a mask, and get in and get out. Lucky for me, Toxtricity is one of the Pokemon I haven't hunted for either!
That kind of serial code event is plain stupid now because covid-19, Shiny Toxtricity is not worth of risking health.

wait, if i took a picture of the QR code, I dont have to go back into the store right? I can just scan the picture? Or is it location based?

I mean, people are already out and wearing masks, if I am at the mall and I swing into GameStop for 10 seconds to grab a serial code, I think it'll all be good. Life has to go back to normal at some point and where I live, anyway, there are very few cases.
The juice ain’t worth the squeeze, imo. :/

I imagine just scanning the QR code will be enough regardless of location. So just go into any GameStop, scan the code, and leave. Which is still a little awkward to see people do by itself haha. Or in your case, scan the code from your photo album when you're home, I really don't think it'd restrict you if you're not in the store since it's probably not coded to actually check your location when you do these things. As long as you scan the code itself, you should be fine.I wish they wouldn't do this during a pandemic, especially with all the bad rep GameStop is getting. We need to catch up with the times and be given them out via WiFi. I'll probably just breed my own.

Yeah, I don't really mind because it's not like it's one of those mythic events where you can't get the Pokemon otherwise, if you don't want to do it then just don't. Like you said, breeding is always an option and getting the Shiny Charm is so easy, anyone breeding for shinies should have it anyway.I wish they wouldn't do this during a pandemic, especially with all the bad rep GameStop is getting.

I am probably going to do it but odds are, I'll end up forgetting anyway since Toxtricity isn't a Mon I really care about.
Kind of a weird decision to do one of these types of events during a time like this, though as long as people do it safely, it shouldn’t be an issue. It does bring back some nostalgia since it’s been forever since I’ve did one of these.

Yeah it'd be especially bad if this were some mythical mon you couldn't get any other way :x At least they're not encouraging going to the store to that extent. Toxtricity is cool to me but not enough to go to GameStop, especially since I won't be back in the States until June anyway. Who knows if the giveaway will still be going by then haha.

For sure and don't get me wrong, I would prefer an online event but I understand that a struggling company needs to get people in the door and they can't wait forever regardeless of a pandemic. I do think it is a bit scummy but, sadly, par for the course when you live in a society where money > everything.
