How to claim Mystery Gifts in Sword & Shield

Mystery Gifts are completely free, containing helpful items to use on your journey. These can be unlocked in a number of ways. Occasionally, there will be free codes linked to an event like a Pokemon anniversary or new release. Players can also unlock Mystery Gifts through Ranked Battles and in-game events.

While it’s true that these gifts mostly have different variants of PokeBalls in them, recently, actual Pokemon have also been added to the mix (though this is still rare).

Pokemon Sword & Shield Mystery Gift codes (June 2022)

There are currently no Mystery Gift codes available to claim in Pokemon Sword and Shield for June 2022.

The last code in the game was released to celebrate the European International Championships. This let Trainers claim a free Dracovish for their collection, but it expired on April 25.

Make sure to check back soon, as we’ll update this page whenever any new codes are released.

Mystery Gift competition rewards

Trainers who participated in the Test Your Luck! Online Competition can access a free reward with a special Mystery Gift, rewarding 50 BP when claimed.

To redeem it, simply follow the below steps up until step 4, and instead select ‘Get Battle Stadium Rewards‘ to obtain your free Battle Points.

How to redeem 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.

Expired codes

Like something that’s listed in the expired list above? While many of these gifts are one-time only, some could come back around in the future – so keep an eye out!

There we have it – all of the Mystery Gift codes you can claim in Pokemon Sword & Shield in June 2022.
