Pokemon Legends: Arceus – How to redeem codes, use Mystery Gift

Here’s how to unlock the online functionality you need to use Mystery Gift in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and what you can receive right now.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is finally out and has completely changed the Pokémon game. New Pokémon, familiar Pokémon with new variants and types, a completely overhauled battle system, a brand new open-world to explore, and a more story-focused approach than previous games in the series. 

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is brand new in dozens of ways, but a few things still remain the same, like the familiar Mystery Gift function. In Legends: Arceus you can redeem online codes and promotions to get free cosmetic items and even Pokémon – but you need to unlock the ability to do so first. 

Players who pre-ordered Pokémon Legends: Arceus can get free Heavy Balls and cosmetic items depending on the retailer they purchased the game from, and even digital buyers will get a bonus item code from Nintendo in their emails. If you need to know how to redeem codes and Mystery Gift items, just read through our guide below.
