Which digital format of Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass should I buy for Nintendo Switch? An Account or a eShop Code ?

The account format is cheaper but has a more complicated activation process compared to a simple key or code. It may also cause access issues in the future, which is why we only recommend it to users who are familiar with this format or have used it before. If you’re looking for a simpler and safer activation process and don’t mind paying a bit more, we recommend buying the eShop Code format.

If I buy the account format of Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass, will the store provide all the activation instructions?

Yes, stores that sell this format usually guide users through the entire activation process, and if any issues arise, they offer customer support services. And if they don’t help, don’t worry—we’re here to assist you too.

Can I return a digital game for Nintendo Switch?

Some digital formats allow returns under certain conditions.

The store does not send my order and does not respond to support. What can I do?

Don't worry, we have the solution. We will handle it ourselves.

The final price is higher than indicated.

Many stores add payment fees, taxes,... in the cart. So be prepared to spend a little more.

I'm desperate: They don't send me the game, the store ignores me. I think I've lost my money.

Calm down, don't panic. Contact us and we will help you resolve it as soon as possible.

Buy Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass Nintendo Switch Code

Q: Why is the eShop Code of Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass safer than the account format?

The eShop Code format is what we always recommend due to its ease of use and higher security compared to any other format. You just need to redeem the key in your account to download Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.

This version of Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass is for Nintendo Switch and in digital format or eShop code (although it may also be available in account format) which means that after purchase at any of the retail outlets listed you will receive a code (or the login details to an account with the game if you purchase the account edition) which you will need to redeem in your Nintendo account.

At Gocdkeys we always recommend buying Nintendo Switch games in eShop code format, due to their price, ease of use and speed. Buying this format of games, in a few minutes we can have the game we want downloaded from the Nintendo system and at a lower price than the physical version.

Even so, it is also possible to buy Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass for Nintendo Switch in physical format in stores like Amazon. If you're looking for the eShop code edition, just use our filters to filter by this edition or the standard edition.

How do we activate Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass for Nintendo Switch if I buy a Nintendo eShop code?

Simply log in to your Nintendo account and go to the following sections: First to "Nintendo eShop" from the HOME menu. Once there, we select the account we want to use. Select "Redeem Code" on the left side of the screen. Paste the Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass eShop code that you will have received in the email and you will have the product activated.

The Pokemon Shield expansion pass is exactly the same as the sword version, since both serve the same purpose regardless of the version we have. Both expansions will activate and grant the same benefits with new stories and undiscovered Pokémons, and new Wilderness areas to explore. You'll even be able to encounter legendary Pokémon, both new and old.
