This is a reverse-chronological list of event Pokémon distributions that were given away via the mystery gift functions to Pokémon games in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is not required to claim Mystery Gifts on Nintendo Switch games.

Serial "codes" are one-time use codes. "Passwords" are codes that can be used by any number of people, but are usually limited to one redemption per save file.

Events redeemed in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have unique characteristics unique to the game environment of these games, these events cannot be claimed by other games of the same generation. Transferability of Pokémon to other games is limited by the availability of the Pokémon in said game.

List of event Pokémon

Otsukimi Clefairy

Otsukimi Pippi camapign logo

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 as part of the おつきみピッピ (Otsukimi Pippi) marketing campaign in commemoration of the Otsukimi festival in Japan. A pamphlet with three serial codes could be obtained during the distribution period, but in order to obtain it, the recipient must imitate the move Metronome. 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 nickname contains characters not present in the font used for Japanese text, 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 second Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl code the prefix J257 should be used before inputting the remaining 12 character code.
