An active subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games.

This is a reverse-chronological list of event Pokémon distributions that were given away via the Internet or Battle Stadium Rewards mystery gift functions to Pokémon games in Generation VIII. Battle Stadium Reward Pokémon are only distributed to Pokémon Sword and Shield as both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus lack this mystery gift function. An active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is not required to claim Mystery Gifts on Nintendo Switch games.
