The Croagunk is available from Nov. 10, 2011 until Jan. 9, 2012, and it 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."

The Global Link announcement also mentions that Croagunk is one of the Pokémon available through the Rugged Mountain area. This Croagunk
