The {{bp|Pokémon Global Link}} is currently running a promotion that allows players to obtain a {{p|Croagunk}} that knows the move {{m|Poison Jab}} in order to promote the new {{OBP|Rugged Mountain|Dream World area}} area of the Island of Dreams in the {{bp|Pokémon Dream World}}. This Croagunk will have the Hidden Ability, {{a|Poison Touch}}. The Croagunk is available from Nov. 10, 2011 until Jan. 9, 2012. 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 {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Pokémon revealed to be found here are {{p|Spinda}} with the special move {{m|Superpower}}, {{p|Torkoal}}, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, {{p|Mankey}}, and {{p|Skorupi}}. The area-exclusive mini-game involves collecting gems with {{p|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.
