All Other Mystery Gifts and Bonuses
Beyond the standard Internet distribution, a few additional Mystery Gifts have been tied to specific actions or purchases:
Early Purchase Bonus — Plant Pot Players who pre-ordered Pokopia received a unique code via email entitling them to a Plant Pot decoration. This code is unique to each player and cannot be shared — redeem it using the Get with Code/Password option at the Pokémon Center PC.
Social Media Bonus — Leppa Berries, Fresh Carrots & Beans Liking a specific post from the Japanese Pokémon Information account on X (Twitter) before 9:00 AM on March 5, 2026 (JST) unlocked a unique reply code containing two Leppa Berries, two fresh carrots, and two beans. This was a limited-time social reward and the window has now passed — the items are also obtainable through regular gameplay.
Important: Codes received via Nintendo emails and social media interactions are unique to each player and cannot be shared or reused by others.
Expired Pokémon Pokopia Mystery Gift Codes
There are no expired Mystery Gift codes for Pokopia at the moment. We’ll keep this section updated as gifts reach their expiry dates.
How to Unlock Mystery Gift in Pokémon Pokopia
Mystery Gift is not available from the very beginning of the game. You’ll need to complete the opening tutorial first — specifically, progress until after Ditto has rested with Professor Tangrowth, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur following the lighting of your first campfire. This takes around 30 minutes of gameplay on average, at which point you’ll have access to the first Pokémon Center PC in the Withered Wasteland.
Once you’re past that point, here’s how to find Mystery Gift:
- Head to any PC at any Pokémon Center
- Select ‘Get Items’
- Scroll down and select ‘Mystery Gifts’
The Mystery Gifts menu will now be accessible from this point forward.
How to Redeem Mystery Gift Codes in Pokémon Pokopia
There are two different methods for claiming Mystery Gifts, depending on the type of reward. Both require an internet connection and a linked Nintendo Account, but neither requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership. All Pokopia Mystery Gift codes are also region-free, meaning you can redeem any distribution regardless of where you purchased the game.
Method 1: Get via Internet (No Code Needed)
Use this method for the Ditto Rug and any future Internet distributions:
- Visit any PC at any Pokémon Center
- Select ‘Get Items’
- Scroll down and select ‘Mystery Gifts’
- Select ‘Get via Internet’
- Your Nintendo Switch will connect online and display all currently available Internet Mystery Gifts
- Select the gift you want and wait for it to download
Method 2: Get with Code/Password
Use this method for unique codes received via email (such as the early purchase bonus plant pot) or social media:
- Visit any PC at any Pokémon Center
- Select ‘Get Items’
- Scroll down and select ‘Mystery Gifts’
- Select ‘Get with Code/Password’
- Enter your unique code exactly as received
- Wait for the Mystery Gift to finish downloading
Important notes for both methods:
- You can only download one Mystery Gift at a time — if you have multiple to claim, work through them one by one. You won’t miss any gifts by doing this
- To check which gifts you’ve already received, select ‘Check Mystery Gifts’ from the Mystery Gifts menu for a full history of your claims
Tips for Getting the Most from Mystery Gifts
- Claim the Ditto Rug as soon as you unlock Mystery Gift — it’s available via Internet distribution with no code needed, making it the easiest free item in the game right now

- Bookmark this page — new Mystery Gifts are announced throughout the year and we’ll update this guide with every new code as it becomes available

- Don’t stress if you have multiple gifts to redeem — the one-at-a-time limit is just a minor inconvenience, not a cap on how many gifts you can ultimately receive
