The Mystery Gift system has become a staple feature in the Pokemon series since its debut in Pokemon Silver and Gold. This feature lets players acquire unique time-limited special items and sometimes even rare Pokemon by entering special codes or connecting to the internet when an event is underway. However, to redeem any codes and use the Mystery Gift feature in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you have to unlock it first.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus: Unlocking Mystery Gift
To unlock the Mystery Gift feature, you have to achieve the First Star Rank in the Galaxy Expedition Team Survey Corps by acquiring 500 Research Points. Once that’s complete, talk to Captain Cyllene in Jubilife Village and she will promote you. The Mystery Gift option in the Communications menu should become accessible through the d-pad menu at this point. It’s worth noting that you can only get a Mystery Gift once per save data.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus: How To Redeem and List of Mystery Gift Codes
Like in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, there are two ways to redeem Mystery Gift:
- Get via Internet: Connect to the internet via WiFi to download any currently running online events.
- Get with Code/Password: Enter a promotional code to get items.
- You can also check any Mystery Gift you have redeemed by selecting the Check Mystery Gifts option.
- Aside from events, having a save file from other Pokemon games can also net you some additional cosmetics and content.
List of Mystery Gift Events/Codes
More Mystery Gift events and codes for Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be added once Nintendo and The Pokemon Company drop them.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is now available on the Nintendo Switch.
