Pokémon Center Birthday Happiny

This Happiny is to be distributed via serial code to players of all Pokémon Sword and Shield games at Pokémon Center stores across Japan and Singapore, if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch.

In addition, players can use these codes in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus after their respective launches.
