How to Redeem Mystery Gift Codes (Step-by-Step)
Before you can reach the Mystery Gift menu, you need to finish the tutorial. See the next section if this is your first time. Once the game is fully unlocked, follow these steps:
- Launch Pokemon Champions.
- From the main menu, select Submenu at the bottom of the screen.
- Scroll down and select Mystery Gifts.
- Enter your code exactly as shown (codes are case-sensitive) and confirm.
- Open your Mailbox to collect the reward.
You need an active internet connection to redeem codes. A Nintendo Switch Online membership is not required.
Each code can only be redeemed once per account. If you get an error saying the code has already been used, it means your account has already claimed it.
How to Unlock Mystery Gifts (Tutorial Requirement)
The Mystery Gift option sits inside the Submenu, which is only available after you complete the tutorial. If the Submenu is grayed out or missing, you have not finished the required steps yet.
To unlock it, you must:
- Complete Cordy’s initial training session.
- Recruit your first Pokemon through the in-game process.
- Complete your first Ranked Battle.
Once all three are done, the Submenu becomes permanently available and you can access Mystery Gifts at any time. If you just downloaded the game, this takes roughly 20-30 minutes depending on your pace. The beginner guide has a full breakdown of the tutorial flow if you want to move through it quickly.
Free Rewards Without Codes: Dragonite & Raichu Distributions
Two distributions are running this year that do not require any code at all. They land directly in your Mailbox as long as you meet the timing requirement.
Dragonite Early Download Bonus (Available Now — Until August 31, 2026)
Any player who boots Pokemon Champions before August 31, 2026 automatically receives a Dragonite in their Mailbox, plus 100 Quick Coupons. No code, no extra steps.
Per Bulbapedia’s event distribution records, the distributed Dragonite carries Draco Meteor, Fire Blast, Ice Beam, and Extreme Speed. The specific nature and ability have not been officially confirmed. Check your Mailbox as soon as you finish the tutorial.
Raichu + Mega Stones Distribution (Starting June 17, 2026)
Tied to the iOS and Android mobile launch on June 17, 2026, this distribution gives Raichu along with both Raichunite X and Raichunite Y Mega Stones. Available from June 17 through September 1, 2026 at 6:49 PM PDT via automatic Mailbox delivery.
- Mega Raichu X Mega Stone unlocks Mega Raichu X (Electric Surge ability)
- Mega Raichu Y Mega Stone unlocks Mega Raichu Y (No Guard ability)
Note: The exact moveset and nature for the base Raichu in this distribution have not been officially confirmed. We will update this section as soon as the mobile launch goes live. For more on how Mega Evolution works in Pokemon Champions, see the Mega Evolution guide.
NAIC Twitch Drop: Blastoise (Broadcast June 12–14 | Redeem by June 18)
Running alongside the 2026 North America International Championships, this Twitch Drop rewards a tournament-quality Blastoise for watching the official stream.
The NAIC broadcast runs June 12–14, 2026 in New Orleans. The code redemption deadline is June 18, 2026 at 4:59 PM PDT — you have a few extra days after the event ends to redeem any code you earned.
How to earn the Blastoise Twitch Drop:
- Watch Twitch.tv/Pokemon for a cumulative 30 minutes during the NAIC broadcast (June 12–14, 2026), per Serebii. Watch time accumulates across sessions — you do not need to watch 30 minutes all at once. Replays that air within one hour of each day’s live broadcast also count.
- Claim the drop from the Twitch pop-up notification.
- Go to rewards.pokemon.com.
- Navigate to View Inventory, then select Show Code.
- Copy the one-time-use code displayed.
- Open the Offer Redemption page and redeem the code.
- Redemption deadline: June 18, 2026 at 4:59 PM PDT. Codes not redeemed by then will be invalidated.
Blastoise details:
- Ball: Cherish Ball
- Nature: Modest
- Ability: Rain Dish
- Moves: Water Spout / Aura Sphere / Water Pulse / Shell Smash
Rain Dish pairs well with rain-team compositions, passively recovering HP each turn under rain. Water Spout is most powerful at full health, making Rain Dish double-relevant. If you are building a rain team, this Blastoise is worth watching 30 minutes of championship play for — see best doubles teams for rain archetypes.
NAIC Quick Coupons Twitch Drop
A smaller drop is also available during NAIC: watching any partnered co-streamer for 45 minutes earns you 12 Quick Coupons. Valid June 12 through July 14, 2026. You can earn this from any qualifying co-streamer, not just the main Twitch.tv/Pokemon channel.
Expired Codes Archive
Expired codes are kept here for reference — searching old codes is a common reader query, and knowing what has expired helps you understand the distribution cadence.
| Code | Reward | Active Period | Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRAG0NDANCEPTC26 | Gyarados ’the Festive’ (Intimidate / Jolly) | May 24–31, 2026 | Pokemon Sports Day Trainers Cup (South Korea) |
DRAG0NDANCEPTC26 delivered a Gyarados with the title “the Festive,” Intimidate ability, Jolly nature, and moves Waterfall / Earthquake / Ice Fang / Dragon Dance. It was released during the Pokemon Sports Day Trainers Cup livestream in South Korea and ran for one week. Intimidate + Dragon Dance makes this a strong physical sweeper setup, but since it is expired, you can no longer claim it.
Mega Stones from Pokemon HOME Transfers (Not Codes)
Four Mega Stones in Pokemon Champions are obtained through a Pokemon HOME transfer, not through any mystery gift code:
- Greninjite — transfer Greninja from Pokemon Legends: Z-A via Pokemon HOME
- Delphoxite — transfer Delphox from Pokemon Legends: Z-A via Pokemon HOME
- Chesnaughtite — transfer Chesnaught from Pokemon Legends: Z-A via Pokemon HOME
- Floettite — transfer Eternal Flower Floette from Pokemon Legends: Z-A via Pokemon HOME
Once transferred, the corresponding Mega Stone lands directly in your in-game Mailbox. No code input required. These four Mega Stones are only available this way — there is no serial code alternative. If you do not own Pokemon Legends: Z-A or do not have the corresponding Pokemon, these stones are not accessible through any other current method. See the Mega Evolution guide for full coverage of all Mega Stone acquisition methods.
What the Codes Give You: Reward Breakdown
The rewards from mystery gifts fall into three categories worth understanding before you decide how to prioritize your redemptions.
Battle-ready Pokemon (CHAMP10N, L12ARD0NPJCS26, NAIC Blastoise): These arrive with fixed natures, abilities, and moves selected for competitive relevance. They are not customizable after receipt, so evaluate the build before committing them to a team slot. Machamp’s No Guard + Dynamic Punch combination is particularly high-value — No Guard makes Dynamic Punch (which normally has 50% accuracy) land every time. The full confirmed moveset is Dynamic Punch, Stone Edge, Ice Punch, and Bullet Punch (per Serebii and Bulbapedia). For team-building context, the tier list shows where Machamp and Charizard sit in the current meta.
Currency (CHAMP10NSATNA1C): 500 Victory Points goes toward ranked season rewards. Check season rewards to see what the current VP thresholds unlock.
Mega Stones (Raichu mobile launch): Mega Stones directly expand your team options. Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y play differently enough that which one you run depends on your team composition — Electric Surge sets terrain that boosts Electric moves for all grounded Pokemon, while No Guard pairs with high-powered inaccurate moves. Detailed analysis is in the Mega Evolution guide.
Where to Follow New Code Announcements
Codes are announced without a fixed schedule. The best places to catch them before they expire:
- Serebii.net serial codes page (serebii.net/pokemonchampions/serialcode.shtml) — the most consistently updated canonical tracker for Pokemon Champions event codes.
- @playpokemon on X — official Play! Pokemon account where tournament codes like CHAMP10NSATNA1C are announced.
- ChampsDex codes section (/codes/) — we update this page every week and bump
lastmodwhen new codes drop. Bookmark it. - Bulbapedia event distributions page — comprehensive historical record with source citations.
Codes released at live tournament events (like NAIC) sometimes appear online hours after in-person distribution. Check Serebii and this page during major events.
Tips for Managing Your Mystery Gift Rewards
A few things worth knowing before you redeem everything at once.
Check Mailbox immediately after redeeming. Codes deliver to your Mailbox, not your active roster. If your Mailbox is full, you may need to clear space before the reward can land. The game does warn you if this is the case.
Pokemon from Mystery Gift are locked to Pokemon Champions. Unlike main series titles, Pokemon received here cannot be sent to Pokemon HOME. This is a deliberate design choice for the Champions competitive ecosystem — every Machamp, Charizard, and Blastoise from events stays in the game. Do not expect to move them out.
Assess the build before slotting it into your ranked team. These are fixed-stat Pokemon with predetermined nature and moves. Before climbing with the NAIC Blastoise on a rain team, understand that its Water Spout output drops as HP decreases, so pairing it with a damage absorber on the turn it comes in extends its window. The team builder guide can help you build around these event Pokemon.
One code, one account — forever. If you share a device with another player who has a separate Nintendo Account, each account can redeem the code once. But if you redeem on one account, that account cannot claim the same code again even if you transfer the Pokemon or delete the save.
