The Pokémon franchise continues its tradition of rewarding dedicated trainers with special in-game bonuses through the Mystery Gift feature.
For May 2025, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet players on Nintendo Switch can access a selection of unique Mystery Gift codes, unlocking exclusive Pokémon, rare items, and event distributions.
Since the launch of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet for Nintendo Switch in November 2022, The Pokémon Company International has regularly provided Mystery Gift events to keep the player community engaged.
These limited-time codes allow both newcomers and veteran trainers to enhance their gameplay with exclusive content ranging from Legendary Pokémon to coveted evolution stones and useful items.
Unlocking Mystery Gift in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is streamlined for all users.
According to The Pokémon Company International, players can access the Mystery Gift feature approximately 1 to 1.5 hours into the main story.
This occurs after reaching the first Pokémon Center in the game, where players are introduced to the Union Circle—a functionality that enables multiplayer interactions.
From this point, the Mystery Gift option becomes available within the Poké Portal menu.
To redeem a Mystery Gift in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet, simply:
- Start the game on Nintendo Switch.
- Press the X Button to open the main menu.
- Select "Poké Portal."
- Choose "Mystery Gift."
- Select "Get via Internet" or "Get with Code/Password," as required.
- Redeem your chosen Mystery Gift and watch it appear in your game.
- Remember to save your progress.
