===Otsukimi Clefairy===
[[File:Otsukimi Pippi.png|thumb|300px|Otsukimi Pippi campaign logo]]
[http://web.archive.org/web/20220831085346/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/otsukimi_pippi/2022/220826_02/ This] {{p|Clefairy}} was distributed via [[serial code]] to players of all Generation VIII games at the {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}}s in Japan from September 3 to 11, 2022 as part of the '''おつきみピッピ''' (''Otsukimi {{tt|Pippi|Clefairy}}'') marketing campaign in commemoration of the {{wp|Tsukimi|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 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'''.

A bug involving Clefairy's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean language game. Clefairy's origin language is set to English, 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.

===Teresa Roca's Hisuian Growlithe===
Two codes, one for 20 [[Feather Ball]]s and another for a Hisuian Growlithe, were 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 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.

[[File:Shiny Zacian Zamazenta NA.jpg|thumb|250px|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 {{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 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 {{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 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 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.

===Singapore Pokémon Center Birthday Milcery===
[https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon.official.Singapore/posts/2749338525393059 These] Milcery were distributed via [[serial code]] to players of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] at the {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store located in the fourth 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 one of the two Milcery (either holding a [[Ribbon Sweet]] or a [[Star Sweet]]) could be redeemed on a single save file.

===Japan Pokémon Center Birthday Milcery===
[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 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).

They included a {{shiny}} {{p|Celebi}} and a {{p|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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20201113065746/https://www.pokemon-movie.jp/present/index.php 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 [https://www.facebook.com/PokemonDistributionDataTW/posts/3251817158475837 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 {{p|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.
