The password was revealed on Yahoo! Kids as part of the promotion. This version of the skin lacks the Pokémon Center text the Japanese version of the skin has; this skin is the first to undergo an edit.
The password was made available on the official site. Unlike other promotions for this skin, this one did not coincide with the promotion for the C-Gear skin featuring Croagunk due to these two promotions now having been released for the animated series specials.
The password was revealed in the August edition of the America-only magazine "Nintendo Power" as part of the promotion. Unlike other promotions for this skin, the one for the US did not coincide with a promotion for the C-Gear skin featuring Piplup.
Also, Global Link erroneously refers to Croagunk as a purple-colored Pokémon in its announcement for the promotion.
This skin coincided with the Poison Jab Croagunk promotion in Europe and its password was made available in the 76th issue of Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK.
This skin, along with the skins featuring the other evolved forms of the Kanto first partner Pokémon were made available with a Pokédex skin featuring the first partner Pokémon themselves.
