Croagunk
The Pokémon Global Link is currently running a promotion that allows players to obtain a Croagunk that knows the move Poison Jab in order to promote the new Rugged Mountain area of the Island of Dreams in the Pokémon Dream World. This Croagunk will have the Hidden Ability, Poison Touch. The Croagunk is available from Nov. 10, 2011 until Jan. 9, 2012. The Global Link announcement also mentions that other Croagunk can be found on the Rugged Mountain, but they will not know Poison Jab. This Croagunk requires a password, which the Pokémon Global Link informs readers will be available on IGN. This marks the very first time Pokemon has partnered with a video game site to offer up a Pokémon character distribution. IGN, however, state that the password is currently a secret, and users should "Check back tomorrow for the password reveal."
IGN also reveals new information regarding the Dream World area Rugged Mountain. Here, players will be able to befriend various Ground-, Fighting-, and Fire-type Pokémon. Pokémon revealed to be found here are Spinda with the special move Superpower, Torkoal, Rhyhorn, Cacnea, Mankey, Burmy (Sandy Cloak), and Skorupi. The area-exclusive mini-game involves collecting gems with Sableye called "Let's Collect Gems with Sableye!" The game involves drawing lines with a pen cursor using the mouse (which IGN misreports as a stylus) which make Sableye's minecart jump or drop between minecart tracks. IGN includes footage of the game, which can be watched on their website.
While a Croagunk was distributed via the Pokémon Global Link in Japan previously, this is not the same Croagunk as it know Poison Jab, a move the previously distributed Croagunk did not.
