This is a reverse-chronological list of event Pokémon distributions that were given away via the Code/Password mystery gift function or through the Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon games in Generation VIII. online most other online activities, an active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is not required to claim Mystery Gifts on Nintendo Switch games.
Serial codes are single-use 16-character long codes that do not use the letters I, O or Z. As in Generation VII, serial codes are still issued with region identifying characteristics, however, unlike during the 3DS era, there are no region locks. Every serial code will work with any valid game regardless of region or language provided the player is connected to the internet and uses a legitimate serial code during the advertised distribution period. The first four characters (the prefixes) of codes are static and correspond to a specific distribution window. The first character of the prefix dictates the origin of the code, which may be relevant in certain distributions where codes of different origins have different validity periods. Specifically:
- Codes that begin with A originate from Asia, specifically ASEAN countries, Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macao.
- Codes that begin with E originate from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Oceania.
- Codes that begin with J originate from Japan.
- Codes that begin with K originate from South Korea.
- Codes that begin with M originate from Pokémon movie distributions. These are usually Japanese and allow for multiple codes to be redeemed on the same save file.
- Codes that begin with U originate from the United States or other countries in the Americas.
Passwords are common codes that are the same for everyone during distribution, as such, they are almost always limited to one redemption per save file. If a password is shorter than 16 characters it can be entered as is or the remaining characters may be filled out with zeroes to redeem the gift.

Pokémon Center Otsukimi Clefairy
This Clefairy was distributed via serial code to players of all Generation VIII games at the Pokémon Centers in Japan from September 3 to 11, 2022 in commemoration of the Otsukimi festival in Japan. A pamphlet with three serial codes could be obtained during the distribution period. The codes are single-use; one of the codes on the pamphlet is valid for Sword and Shield, the second is for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and the last is for Legends: Arceus. The codes expired on September 30, 2022.
A bug involving Clefairy's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean language game. Clefairy's origin language will be set to Japanese, but it is set to have no nickname, causing the game to assign it Clefairy's species name in Korean. Since its origin language and nickname don't match typesets, Clefairy's nickname will display as "??" when redeemed in this language.
Due to a printing issue, the code cards only had the randomised 12 digit serial code and omitted the 4 character prefix. For the first Sword and Shield code the prefix J256 should be used before inputting the remaining 12 character code. The Second Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl code has the prefix J257. The third Legends: Arceus code's prefix is J258.

Teresa Roca's Hisuian Growlithe
Two codes, one for 20 Feather Balls and another for a Hisuian Growlithe, were distributed to promote the Brilliant Stars set of the Pokémon TCG at various locations in select countries between February 25 and April 4, 2022. These codes expired at 06:59 (UTC) on June 1, 2022. If redeemed in an Asian language game (Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese), this Hisuian Growlithe redeemed with English language tags instead.
A bug involving Growlithe's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese language game. Growlithe's origin language will be set to English, but it is set to have no nickname, causing the game to assign it Growlithe's species name in Korean/Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese. Since its origin language and nickname don't match typesets (English-language Pokémon cannot have Korean/Chinese nicknames), Growlithe's nickname will display as "??" when redeemed in Korean, and "???" when redeemed in Simplified or Traditional Chinese.

Shiny Galar Hero duo
Japanese promo for Shiny Hero duo
Korean promo for Shiny Hero duo
North American promo for Shiny Hero duo
These Shiny Pokémon were distributed to players of various countries who inserted a serial code that was given away at various locations. Both have perfect 31 IVs in all stats except Special Attack, which is instead 30. These Pokémon were distributed between October 22, 2021 and February 22, 2022 with specific dates varying by region. Owing to the server-side Wonder Cards being accidentally repealed, it was not possible to redeem these Pokémon for four days between February 3 and 7, 2022.
In Western language games, Zacian has the Original Trainer of Lancer, whereas Zamazenta has the Original Trainer of Arthur. This is a reference to Arthurian Legends upon which both Pokémon are derived from, Namely King Arthur and Sir Lancelot. In Asian Language games, the original trainer is a localised form of "Galar".
Outside of South Korea, Players of Pokémon Sword can receive Shiny Zamazenta, while players of Pokémon Shield can receive Shiny Zacian. Codes obtained from the South Korean distribution can be redeemed in either game. It is possible to redeem both Zacian and Zamazenta on the same game. Each Pokémon is only obtainable once per save file regardless of code origin.
In Asia (Outside of South Korea), the codes were distributed from October 22 to November 18, 2021. The codes could be redeemed until November 25, 2021.
In South Korea, the codes were given away by pre-ordering Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, or the Double Pack of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The codes could be redeemed from November 19 to December 31, 2021.
In the United States, Shiny Zacian was distributed from October 22 to November 11. In Canada, it was distributed from October 22 to November 4. Meanwhile, Shiny Zamazenta was distributed from November 12 to 26 in the United States, and November 5 to 18 in Canada. In Australia and New Zealand, both Pokémon were distributed from November 19. The codes could be redeemed until January 31, 2022.
In Europe, the codes were distributed from October 22 to November 18, 2021. The codes were advertised to expire on December 31, 2021, February 12, 2022 or February 22, 2022 depending on the country. Despite the difference in advertised expiry dates, all European codes used the same code prefixes regardless of the distributing country, and as such were made valid until February 22, 2022, even if the advertised expiry date was earlier.

Pokémon Adventure 25 Pokémon
These Pokémon were distributed to players in South Korea during the "Pokémon Adventure, Catch the Mythical Pokémon!" (Korean: 포켓몬 어드벤처, 환상의 포켓몬을 잡아라!) campaign that ran from April 26 to September 30, 2021. Players could earn points by buying participating Pokémon merchandise, which could then be used to exchange for serial codes on the official website. This was similar to the "Mythical Pokémon Get Challenge" that had previously run in Japan in 2020.
The number of points entered determined what type of serial code was received; one point resulted in a Genesect code, five resulted in ten Dynite Ores code, ten resulted in a Poké Ball Set 1 (Fast Ball, Level Ball, and Love Ball) code, 13 resulted in a Volcanion code, 16 resulted in ten Dynite Ores code, 20 resulted in a Poké Ball Set 2 (Moon Ball, Heavy Ball, Friend Ball, and Lure Ball) code, 23 resulted in a Marshadow code, 27 resulted in a Poké Ball Set 3 (Safari Ball and Sport Ball) code, and 30 points resulted in a Master Ball code.

Japan Pokémon Center Birthday Milcery
These Milcery were distributed via serial code to players of Pokémon Sword and Shield at Pokémon Center stores and Pokémon Stores in Japan from November 1, 2020 until October 31, 2021, if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch.
As both Pokémon share the same Wonder Card ID, only one of the two Milcery (either holding a Ribbon Sweet or a Star Sweet) could be redeemed on a single save file.
Before November 6, 2020, the Wonder Card did not set a nickname for Milcery, causing a bug if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese language game. Milcery's origin language would be set to Japanese, but since it had no nickname, the game would assign it Milcery's species name in Korean/Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese. Since its origin language and nickname did not match typesets (Japanese-language Pokémon cannot have Korean/Chinese nicknames), Milcery's nickname would display as "???" on the save file. This was fixed by replacing the Wonder Card with another version with the same ID, that directly set Milcery's nickname to マホミル (Milcery's species name in Japanese).

Jungle Pokémon
Promotional artwork of
Zarude associated with the event
These Pokémon were distributed to players who preordered tickets to the twenty-third movie, Secrets of the Jungle. They included a Shiny Celebi and a Zarude, both Pokémon that play important roles in the movie. Celebi's distribution was originally due to begin on April 17, 2020 and Zarude's on June 15, 2020; due to the delay of the movie's release, both distributions instead began on August 7 and were redeemable until March 31, 2021. Multiple redemptions of these Pokémon are allowed on a single game, provided the player had preordered multiple tickets and consequently had multiple serial codes.
Additionally, the Dada Zarude was distributed from December 25, 2020 to March 31, 2021 to players who watched the movie in Japanese movie theatres.
The Shiny Celebi and Dada Zarude were re-released in Taiwan between December 10, 2021 and March 31, 2022 to promote the release of the movie in this market.

Poké Ball Plus Mew
Initially released with Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the Poké Ball Plus comes programmed with an internal serial code to redeem this Mew that is compatible with Pokémon Sword and Shield. Despite being marketed as the Poké Ball Plus "containing" Mew, the serial code aspect means that to claim Mew, the player must connect to the Internet through Mystery Gift.
The serial code aspect also means that it is impossible for a single manufactured Poké Ball Plus to redeem more than one Mew, even if the Poké Ball Plus is later resold. Players that purchased multiple Poké Ball Pluses can redeem one Mew for each.
