Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mystery Gift Event Now Live on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

Pokémon Legends: Z-A has officially launched on both Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2, marking a significant milestone for The Pokémon Company and the ever-growing Pokémon franchise.

In celebration of the game's release, the first Mystery Gift distribution event is now accessible to trainers worldwide, providing exclusive in-game bonuses for early adopters. Pokémon Legends: Z-A, developed and published by The Pokémon Company, follows in the footsteps of its critically acclaimed predecessors, delivering an expansive adventure set in the beloved Pokémon universe.

Available on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms through physical and digital formats, the game further cements Nintendo’s reputation for engaging releases and innovative gameplay. Early-purchase rewards for Pokémon Legends: Z-A include a special Ralts holding a Gardevoirite stone.

Trainers can receive this exclusive Pokémon as part of the global Mystery Gift event.

By evolving Ralts into Kirlia and then into Gardevoir, players can take advantage of the coveted Mega Evolution mechanic—using the Gardevoirite stone to unlock Mega Gardevoir’s full potential for battles and exploration. In addition to Ralts, those who download the digital version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A from the Nintendo eShop will also receive a bonus gift of 100 Poké Balls, ready to aid their journey from its earliest stages.

Both Ralts with Gardevoirite and the set of Poké Balls are available as early-purchase bonuses and can be claimed until February 28, 2026. To access these limited-time Mystery Gift rewards, trainers must first unlock the in-game feature after progressing approximately one hour into the story.

According to leading Pokémon resource Serebii.net, the Mystery Gift function is enabled once players have obtained the Pokédex.

It’s important to note that if a player already possesses a Gardevoirite stone upon claiming the Mystery Gift, Ralts will arrive without the item attached.

Pokémon distribution events such as these have become a staple for long-time fans, offering incentives that enrich the overall player experience and reward early community engagement.

The Pokémon Company has confirmed that further Mystery Gift events will be announced in the future, continuing the tradition of exclusive content for dedicated trainers globally. With a robust launch on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Pokémon Legends: Z-A reinforces the enduring popularity and innovation of the Pokémon series.

Players are encouraged to take advantage of these early-purchase bonuses before the offer ends, solidifying their adventure in the latest chapter of the Pokémon universe.
