Will there be any more Mystery Gifts in Sword & Shield?

Now that Gen 9 has officially begun with the release of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, the chances of any more Mystery Gift codes being released for Sword & Shield are very slim, as The Pokemon Company will be focusing on the newer series of games.

Previously, there were regular free codes for Mystery Gifts linked to events like Pokemon anniversaries or the release of new anime episodes. Players were also able to unlock Mystery Gifts as rewards for taking part in Ranked Battles and in-game events.

Are there any Pokemon Sword & Shield Mystery Gift codes in January 2024?

As of January 2024, there are no Mystery Gift codes available to claim in Pokemon Sword & Shield.

While new code releases are less likely due to the current focus on Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, we’ll update this page if any new codes are released in the future.

How to claim Mystery Gifts in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Claiming your Mystery Gifts in Pokemon is easy, but you won’t be able to do so until you complete the game’s first event in the Slumbering Weald, where you encounter Sword or Shield’s Legendary Pokemon for the first time.

Once you’ve done this, follow the steps below to claim your Mystery Gift:

  1. Load up Pokemon Sword or Shield.
  2. Open the game menu by pressing X, then select ‘Mystery Gift‘, with the pink present icon.
  3. Select the ‘Get A Mystery Gift‘ option.
  4. Choose which method you want to use to receive a gift. If you have a code, select the ‘Get With Code/Password‘ option.
  5. Collect your gifts and enjoy!

Once claimed, Pokemon will be added to your Party or your Pokemon Boxes if there’s no room. Fashion items can be found by visiting the fitting room of any in-game boutique, while Non-fashion items will appear in your Bag.

You can see previously downloaded gifts by choosing ‘Check Mystery Gifts‘ in the menu.
