This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via [[serial code]]s to Pokémon games in [[Generation VIII]].
This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via [[serial code]]s, passwords or the [[Poké Ball Plus]] to Pokémon games in [[Generation VIII]].


Unlike serial codes in the previous games, serial code events in these games are region-free and can be used regardless of the game or console's region or language, provided the player is connected to the internet and uses a legitimate serial code. An active subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games.
While serial codes are still issued with region identifying characteristics, unlike in 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. An active subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games.
 
Serial codes are 16 characters long and do not use the letters '''I''', '''O''' or '''Z'''. The first 4 characters (the prefix) of a code is static and corresponds 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 {{wp|ASEAN}} countries, {{wp|Taiwan}}, {{wp|Hong Kong}} and {{wp|Macao}}.
* Codes that begin with '''E''' originate from {{wp|Europe}}, {{wp|Middle East}}, {{wp|Africa}} and {{wp|Oceania}}.
* Codes that begin with '''J''' originate from {{wp|Japan}}.
* Codes that begin with '''K''' originate from {{wp|South Korea}}.
* Codes that begin with '''M''' originate from [[Pokémon movie]] distributions. These are usually Japanese and will allow for multiple codes to be redeemed on the same save file.
* Codes that begin with '''U''' originate from the {{wp|United States}} and other countries in the {{wp|Americas}}.

===Pokémon Center Birthday Happiny===
[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2021/10/211022_p01.html This] Happiny is to be distributed via [[serial code]] to players of all {{g|Sword and Shield}} games at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores across Japan, if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch. The codes will be distributed from November 1, 2020 to an as of yet unknown date. In addition, players can use these codes in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl]], and {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} after their respective launches. Each player only gets one code, and that code can only be used on one game.


===Dawn's Piplup===
[https://www.facebook.com/PokemonCoKr/posts/5201485499890776 These] Piplup were distributed via [[serial code]] to players of {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] through the online Pokémon Center Store in the Republic of Korea. Starting on May 9, 2022, Players who spent ₩35,000 on products in the online store would receive 1 code and 1 movie ticket to a screening of [[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]], while players who spent ₩60,000 would receive 2 codes and 2 movie tickets. The codes are shared between {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], meaning the same code could be redeemed on either game. It is possible to redeem multiple codes on the same save file. The codes could be redeemed between June 1 and July 31, 2022

====Distribution====
===Marco Hemantha Kaludura Silva's Dracovish===
This Pokémon was distributed from April 22 to 24, 2022 in commemoration of the 2022 European Video Game Championships, based on the {{p|Dracovish}} used by Marco Hemantha Kaludura Silva in the  2020 Oceania International Championships. The password was revealed on its official live stream. Players could use the password '''EU1C2022G1FT''' to receive it. This Dracovish has 31 [[Individual values|IV]]s in every stat as well as 252 [[Effort values|EV]]s in {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} and 4 [[Effort values|EV]]s in {{stat|HP}}. This differs from the Dracovish used by Marco, which had 252 [[Effort values|EVs]] in {{stat|Speed}} and zero in {{stat|Special Defense}}.<ref>https://victoryroadvgc.com/2020/03/15/marcosilva-ocic20-report/</ref>

===Teresa Roca's Hisuian Growlithe===
Two codes, one for 20 [[Feather Ball]]s and another for a Hisuian Growlithe, will be distributed to promote the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} set of the Pokémon TCG at various locations in select countries between February 25 and April 4, 2022. These codes will expire 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 redeems 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.

===Korean Jungle Pokémon===
===Shiny Hero duo===
[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/2021_m23/menu128 These] [https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/3/10531 Pokémon] were distributed to players who preordered tickets to the twenty-third movie, ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''. They included a {{shiny}} {{p|Celebi}}, a Normal {{p|Zarude}} and a Dada Zarude. Multiple redemptions of these Pokémon are allowed on a single game, provided the player has preordered multiple tickets, and consequently, has multiple serial codes.
[[File:Shiny Zamazenta Artwork.png|thumb|250px|Promotional Artwork of {{Shiny}} {{p|Zamazenta}} by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]<ref name=ArigaShiny>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1451379419927355395 @ariga_megamix on Twitter]</ref>]]

[[File:Shiny Zacian Zamazenta KO.jpg|thumb|250px|Korean promo for Shiny Hero duo]]
[[File:Shiny Zacian Zamazenta NA.jpg|thumb|250px|North American promo for Shiny Hero duo]]
 
These {{Shiny}} Pokémon were distributed for players of various countries who inserted a serial code that was given away at various locations. Both have perfect 31 {{IV}}s 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 during a 4 day period between February 3 and February 7, 2022.  


====Dada Zarude====
On Western Language games, Zacian has the original trainer Lancer, whereas Zamazenta has the original trainer Arthur. This is a reference to {{wp|Arthurian Legends}} upon which both Pokémon are derived from, Namely {{wp|King Arthur}} and {{wp|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 on 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 {{g|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 {{p|Zacian}} was distributed from October 22 to November 11. In Canada, it was distributed from October 22 to November 4. Meanwhile, Shiny {{p|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 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 prefix's regardless of the distributing country, and as such were made valid until February 22, 2022, even if the advertised expiry date was earlier.

These Pokémon were [https://www.pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/4/10318 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 [http://adventure25.pokemonkorea.co.kr/ 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.

These Pokémon were [https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/getchallenge_2020/ distributed] to players who entered the codes from the "[[Mythical Pokémon]] Get Challenge" (Japanese: 幻のポケモンゲットチャレンジ) onto the official site in exchange for a serial code. Pokémon Scraps could be found in [https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/getchallenge_2020/products/ participating types] of Pokémon merchandise starting on November 20, 2020.
 
The number of codes entered determined what type of serial code was received; one Pokémon Scrap resulted in a {{p|Genesect}} code, five resulted in a code for ten pieces of [[Dynite Ore]], ten resulted in a code for [[Poké Ball]] Set 1 (consisting of a [[Fast Ball]], a [[Level Ball]], and a [[Love Ball]]), 13 resulted in a {{p|Volcanion}} code, 16 resulted in a code for ten pieces of Dynite Ore, 20 resulted in a code for Poké Ball Set 2 (consisting of a [[Moon Ball]], a [[Heavy Ball]], a [[Friend Ball]], and a [[Lure Ball]]), 23 resulted in a {{p|Marshadow}} code, 27 resulted in a code for Poké Ball Set 3 (consisting of a [[Safari Ball]] and a [[Sport Ball]]), and 30 resulted in a [[Master Ball]] code. The serial codes could be redeemed from November 20, 2020 to April 30, 2021.

====Hoenn Cap====
===Japan Pokémon Center Birthday Milcery===
Players could claim Hoenn Cap Pikachu with the serial code '''P1KAADVANCE'''.
[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2020/10/201016_p01.html These] Milcery were distributed via [[serial code]] to players of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores and [[Pokémon Store]]s 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 1 of the 2 Milcery (either holding a [[Ribbon Sweet]] or a [[Star Sweet]]) could be redeemed on a single save file.  


Prior to 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 by another version with the same ID, that directly set Milcery's nickname to マホミル (Milcery's species name in Japanese).

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 has preordered multiple tickets, and consequently, has multiple serial codes.

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.

Revision as of 03:08, 11 May 2022

This is a reverse-chronological list of event Pokémon distributions that were given away via serial codes, passwords or the Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon games in Generation VIII.

While serial codes are still issued with region identifying characteristics, unlike in 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. An active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is not required to claim Mystery Gifts on Nintendo Switch games.

Serial codes are 16 characters long and do not use the letters I, O or Z. The first 4 characters (the prefix) of a code is static and corresponds 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 and Macao.
  • Codes that begin with E originate from Europe, Middle East, Africa and 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 will allow for multiple codes to be redeemed on the same save file.
  • Codes that begin with U originate from the United States and other countries in the Americas.

List of event Pokémon

Dawn's Piplup

These Piplup were distributed via serial code to players of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus through the online Pokémon Center Store in the Republic of Korea. Starting on May 9, 2022, Players who spent ₩35,000 on products in the online store would receive 1 code and 1 movie ticket to a screening of Giratina and the Sky Warrior, while players who spent ₩60,000 would receive 2 codes and 2 movie tickets. The codes are shared between Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, meaning the same code could be redeemed on either game. It is possible to redeem multiple codes on the same save file. The codes could be redeemed between June 1 and July 31, 2022

Marco Hemantha Kaludura Silva's Dracovish

This Pokémon was distributed from April 22 to 24, 2022 in commemoration of the 2022 European Video Game Championships, based on the Dracovish used by Marco Hemantha Kaludura Silva in the 2020 Oceania International Championships. The password was revealed on its official live stream. Players could use the password EU1C2022G1FT to receive it. This Dracovish has 31 IVs in every stat as well as 252 EVs in Attack and Special Defense and 4 EVs in HP. This differs from the Dracovish used by Marco, which had 252 EVs in Speed and zero in Special Defense.[1]

Teresa Roca's Hisuian Growlithe

Two codes, one for 20 Feather Balls and another for a Hisuian Growlithe, will be 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 will expire 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 redeems 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.

Japanese promo for Shiny Hero duo
Korean promo for Shiny Hero duo
North American promo for Shiny Hero duo

These Shiny Pokémon were distributed for 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 during a 4 day period between February 3 and February 7, 2022.

On Western Language games, Zacian has the original trainer Lancer, whereas Zamazenta has the original trainer 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 on 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 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 prefix's regardless of the distributing country, and as such were made valid until February 22, 2022, even if the advertised expiry date was earlier.

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.

Singapore Pokémon Center Birthday Milcery

These Milcery were distributed via serial code to players of Pokémon Sword and Shield at the Pokémon Center store located in the 4th floor of the Jewel mall at Changi Airport from November 6, 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 1 of the 2 Milcery (either holding a Ribbon Sweet or a Star Sweet) could be redeemed on a single save file.

Distribution

Happy Birthday!
You got Milcery!

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 1 of the 2 Milcery (either holding a Ribbon Sweet or a Star Sweet) could be redeemed on a single save file.

Prior to 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 by another version with the same ID, that directly set Milcery's nickname to マホミル (Milcery's species name in Japanese).

Distribution

Happy Birthday!
You got Milcery!

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 has preordered multiple tickets, and consequently, has multiple serial codes.

The Celebi was re-released in Taiwan between December 10, 2021 and March 31, 2022.

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.
