While you’re there, be sure to ask about preordering Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet, the newest titles in the Pokémon video game series and the first to feature an open-world adventure. Featuring a new region named Paldea, these games are filled with never-before-seen Pokémon and multiple storylines, and they introduce the mysterious Terastal phenomenon, which makes your Pokémon glisten like gemstones and can even change their types!
To claim your in-game gifts, follow these steps.
- Launch your Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield
- Select Mystery Gift on the X menu.
- Select Get a Mystery Gift.
- Select Get with Code/Password to connect to the internet.
- Enter your codes one by one.
- Watch as the gifts arrive in your game. (Pokémon will appear in your party or your Pokémon Boxes. Items will appear in your Bag.)
- Be sure to save your game.
There’s no purchase necessary to receive these codes, but they’re only available while supplies last, so don’t delay! Please note that there is a limit of one code per Pokémon per person, and each code can only be used once.
