A promotional version of this Frienda Pick was later available as part of the Pokémon Frienda Mega Happy Holiday Lottery, a campaign held at all Pokémon Centers with a Pokémon Frienda machine between December 20, 2025 and January 12, 2026. Machines running the campaign could be identified by a graphic on the bottom left of the title screen, which also detailed the number of Frienda Picks that could still be claimed. The promotional version is Pokémon Center yellow in color, has "P" in place of a collection number, and features the characters "スペシャル", special, in place of a Grade.
While playing on updated machines during the promotional period, any Pokémon caught would have a chance of coming with an in-game Stone Slab (Japanese: せきばん). When viewing the results screen after a session, players could view the slab, shaped like a Frienda Pick, and wipe away detritus using the touchscreen. This would reveal either a QR code that could be scanned to unlock a digital Charizard Support Pokémon Ticket in Frienda Circle, or a green-colored slab bearing "あたり", atari, a word often attributed to winning a prize in a lottery. If the latter was revealed, this would trigger a screen to appear for a staff member to verify, upon which they would give away a copy of either this promotional Frienda Pick or another promotional Charizard Frienda Pick at random.[1]
