How to Claim the Shiny Wo-Chien Mystery Gift in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players on Nintendo Switch have reason to celebrate with the recent announcement from The Pokémon Company: a new Mystery Gift is now accessible, rewarding players with a coveted Shiny Wo-Chien and a cache of Tera Shards.

This promotion comes as a reward for completing the first Treasures of Ruin Tera Raid challenge, further enriching the post-launch support and player engagement seen in Generation IX. The limited-time Shiny Wo-Chien is available to all players through the in-game Mystery Gift feature, offering a rare and powerful addition to any trainer’s roster.

This Wo-Chien is delivered at Level 75, boasting the Tablets of Ruin ability and a Calm nature—traits that make it not only visually unique, but also competitive in battle.

Its moveset includes Giga Drain, Dark Pulse, Snarl, and Pollen Puff, providing solid coverage and utility for both PvE and PvP encounters. Players can claim this exclusive Mystery Gift from now until September 30, 2025, according to The Pokémon Company.

Additionally, a separate reward consisting of 100 Grass Tera Shards, 100 Bug Tera Shards, 100 Poison Tera Shards, and 100 Fairy Tera Shards is available, supporting trainers eager to optimize and customize their Pokémon’s Tera Types for battles. To redeem Mystery Gifts in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet on the Nintendo Switch, players must first progress through the main story until unlocking the Poké Portal at the first Pokémon Center.

From the X menu, select the Poké Portal, then navigate to Mystery Gift.

Using the "Get via Internet" option, choose the desired gift and watch it appear in your game—Pokémon will be received either in your party or Pokémon Boxes.

It’s highly recommended to save your game after claiming these rewards to ensure they are not lost. Since their release on November 18, 2022, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have achieved record-breaking launch figures and ongoing player engagement, with post-launch content like Tera Raids and special Mystery Gifts contributing significantly to their sustained popularity.

The Pokémon Company’s ongoing support via events and giveaways demonstrates their commitment to the series’ fanbase and ongoing gameplay variety. For further information on this and future Mystery Gift events, players are encouraged to visit the official Pokémon website or follow Nintendo Direct news.

Be sure to claim these exclusive rewards before the deadline and enhance your Pokémon adventure on the Nintendo Switch.
