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!
How To Activate Mystery Gift Codes In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
To activate a Pokemon Scarlet & Violet mystery gift open your game and access the in-game menu by pressing X. From there, select “Poke Portal” then press “Mystery Gift” and then “Get Code/Password and connect to the internet”. Now you can input your mystery gift code and unlock your prize.
- In the Pokémon Scarlet game or the Pokémon Violet game, press X to open the menu. Press A to select Poké Portal → Mystery Gift → Get with Code/Password and connect to the internet. (It takes approximately two hours of play time before you are able to access the Mystery Gift function.)
- Enter your code.
- The game will automatically save after the gift arrives.
