How to Unlock Mystery Gift Feature (October 2025)

Before you can redeem any codes, you need to unlock the Mystery Gift feature. This is a simple one-time process that takes about 5 minutes.

Mystery Gift is a feature in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that allows players to receive special distributions including Pokemon, items, and apparel through special codes or internet downloads.

  1. Visit any Pokemon Center – You must visit at least one Pokemon Center in your game first
  2. Open the Poké Portal – Press Y to open your menu and select Poké Portal
  3. Access Mystery Gift – The Mystery Gift option will now appear in the Poké Portal menu

That’s it! The Mystery Gift feature is now permanently unlocked for your save file. You don’t need Nintendo Switch Online to use Mystery Gift codes – this is a common misconception.

Step-by-Step Code Redemption Guide

Players access Mystery Gift through the Poké Portal menu after visiting any Pokemon Center, then select ‘Get with Code/Password’ or ‘Get via Internet’ to redeem rewards.

Mystery Gift: A feature in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that allows players to receive special distributions including Pokemon, items, and apparel through special codes or internet downloads.

  1. Open the Poké Portal – Press Y to open your menu and select “Poké Portal”
  2. Select Mystery Gift – Choose “Mystery Gift” from the main menu

  4. Enter the Code – Type in the code exactly as shown (codes are case-sensitive)

The redeemed items or Pokemon will appear in your inventory or party. For Pokemon, they’ll be added to your Boxes if your party is full.

✅ Pro Tip: Some codes can only be redeemed once per save file, even across both Scarlet and Violet versions. Test codes on your preferred version first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any Mystery Gift codes for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Yes, there are currently 8 active Mystery Gift codes for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as of January 2025. These codes offer various rewards including Hisuian Zoroark, Tera Shards, Pikachu with Volt Tackle, evolution items, apparel, and Poke Balls. All active codes are verified weekly and listed in the table above with their expiry dates.

Can I get legendary Pokémon via Mystery Gift?

Yes, you can obtain legendary Pokemon through Mystery Gift codes, though these distributions are rare and time-limited. Recent legendary distributions have included Hisuian Zoroark (currently available) and special event versions of other legendaries. Legendary distributions typically have very short redemption windows (3-7 days) so check this guide regularly for updates.

Do I need Nintendo Switch Online for Mystery Gift?

No, you do not need Nintendo Switch Online to redeem Mystery Gift codes. This is a common misconception – Mystery Gift codes work with any internet connection. However, some ‘Get via Internet’ distributions (not code-based) may require Nintendo Switch Online membership to access certain online features.

What happens when Mystery Gift codes expire?

When a Mystery Gift code expires, it can no longer be redeemed and attempting to enter it will show an error message. Expired codes are permanently unavailable for new redemptions. That’s why we maintain the recently expired codes table – to help players understand distribution patterns and not waste time trying expired codes.

Can I use the same code on both Scarlet and Violet?

Most Mystery Gift codes can be redeemed on both Scarlet and Violet versions, but only once per save file. Some codes may be version-exclusive or offer different rewards depending on your game version. Check the code details above – regional restrictions apply more often than version restrictions.

How often are new Mystery Gift codes released?

New Mystery Gift codes are typically released 2-4 times per month, with increased frequency during special events, holidays, and game anniversaries. Major distributions often coincide with Pokemon announcements, game updates, or real-world Pokemon events. Following official Pokemon channels and checking this guide weekly will ensure you don’t miss limited-time codes.

Final Recommendations

After testing and tracking Mystery Gift codes for the past 6 months, I recommend checking this guide weekly for new codes – most expire within 2-4 weeks of release. The current Hisuian Zoroark code (NEWM0VEN1GHT) is particularly valuable as legendary distributions are rare.

For the best experience, redeem codes as soon as they’re released – popular distributions like legendary Pokemon often have very limited redemption windows. Always double-check code spelling and verify your region matches any restrictions listed.
