It’s finally time… Pokemon is back and while Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is promising to revitalise the franchise, there’ll still be remnants of the past making an appearance, like mystery gifts.
Just like the previous games, this gives you the ability to get exclusive items, rare Pokemon and random perks.
If you’re new to the wonders of mystery gifts, The Pokemon Company sometimes holds special events where the use of a unique code (that’s the mystery gift) will award you with an exclusive item.
So, now you know what mystery gifts are, let’s talk about activating those all important mystery gift codes to get you some freebies!
This article was last checked on 24th of May by Emma Flint; we try our best to update this list on a daily basis.
Please use the table of contents below to find exactly what you’re looking for, as there are a lot of codes to read through, both new and expired!
