Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Mystery Gift codes in May 2024

Trainers jumping back into Pokemon Scarlet & Violet this month can use the latest Mystery Gift codes to redeem some handy items, as well as several free Pokemon!

Released regularly to celebrate franchise events and collaborations, or to simply offer a nice reward for Trainers, codes are a quick and free way to get an edge in the game once you know how to redeem them.

There are 12 Mystery Gifts you can claim right now including a Pawmot, Chest Form Gimmighoul, and a Revaroom. You can see them all below:

One of the newest additions to this list is a Gyarados based on the one used by Melvin Keh in the Pokemon 2023 Singapore Championships. It's not available for long, so claim it while you can!

I'd say the most interesting Mystery Gifts right now are Sprigatito and Quaxly, based on the ones used by Liko and Dot in the Pokemon Horizons anime series.

These are great rewards to claim for anyone who didn't choose them as their starter Pokemon, as they can be tricky to obtain otherwise!

If you've yet to play the Teal Mask or Indigo Disk DLC, having the 30 Quick Balls handy is great for expanding your Pokedex in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero expansion.

What's more, there's a stylish Neo-Kitakami Case for your Rotom Phone, with its aesthetic featuring silhouettes of the land's Legendaries shown in the image below.

Aside from the codes above, you can also claim a Mythical Pecha Berry by selecting the 'Get via Internet' option from the Mystery Gift menu.

This item is required for you to play the epilogue of The Hidden Treasure of Zero DLC, but you don't need a code to claim it. You will, however, need to purchase the DLC and complete both the Teal Mask and the Indigo Disk parts before you can play the epilogue.

To redeem the above Gift codes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you'll first need to have played around an hour and a half to reach a Pokemon Centre to unlock the Mystery Gift feature.

Once you've done that, simply follow these easy steps:

• Once you're in-game, press the X button to bring up the main menu
• Make sure you're connected to the internet by pressing the L button
• Select 'Poké Portal', then 'Mystery Gift'
• Press 'Get with Code/Password' and enter one of the above active codes
  • If no code is required, simply select the "Get via Internet" option
• Wait whilst the game validates your code and searches for Mystery Gifts
• If successful, your Mystery Gift should appear as an option to receive
• Choose your gift and your redemption will be successful!

If it's more Mystery Gifts you're after in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you'll be glad to know that they are given out regularly via special events throughout the year.

Previously, codes have been shared during World Championship live streams or by visiting specific retailers for a limited time - for example, it was once possible to get a Mimikyu at GameStop.

We'll be updating this page as soon as new codes are released, so give it a bookmark and check back soon. If you're on X (formerly Twitter), it's also worth giving Serebii a follow as they post about new codes regularly.
