All Active Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Mystery Gift Codes (January 2026)

Mystery Gifts have been a beloved Pokemon tradition for years, and Scarlet & Violet continue delivering the goods with regular code drops. The catch? These codes don’t stick around forever, and some expire faster than you can say “Gotta catch ’em all!”

Before you dive into claiming freebies, here’s what you need to know: you’ll need to reach your first Pokemon Center in Los Plato before the Mystery Gift option unlocks. Once you’ve got access, it’s time to stock up on evolution stones, cosmetics, and other useful items to help fill out that Paldea Pokedex.

As of January 5, 2026, there are ten active Mystery Gift codes to claim after Federico Camporesi’s Whimsicott code expired. Let’s break down everything that’s currently available.

Current Mystery Gift Codes for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Exclusive Avatar Tracksuits (No Expiration Date)

STRACKSU1T – Exclusive Tracksuit for Pokemon Scarlet

This stylish tracksuit is Scarlet-exclusive, so Violet players can’t claim it
No confirmed expiration date, but don’t wait—claim it ASAP

VTRACKSU1T – Exclusive Tracksuit for Pokemon Violet

The Violet version of the tracksuit for your avatar
Also has no listed expiration, but better safe than sorry

Pro Tip: These tracksuit codes don’t have official expiration dates listed, which usually means they could disappear without warning. I’d recommend redeeming them immediately before they vanish into the mystery gift void.

Neo-Kitakami Rotom Phone Case (No Expiration Date)

NE0R0T0MC0VER – Neo-Kitakami Rotom Phone Case

Gives your Rotom Phone a fresh new look
Available for both Scarlet and Violet versions

DLC-Exclusive Mystery Gift (No Code Required)

Mythical Pecha Berry – Get via Internet (No Code Needed)

IMPORTANT: Requires The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC purchase
Claim through the “Get via Internet” option instead of entering a code
No expiration date announced

C0SM1CST0NES – Cosmic Evolution Stones Pack

These evolution stone codes are perfect for evolving your team without the treasure hunt. Both expire on January 1, 2026, so you’ve got about three weeks to claim them.

Stat-Boosting Vitamins (Expires January 1, 2026)

V1TAM1NS – Complete Vitamin Collection

x2 HP Up
x2 Protein
x2 Iron
x2 Carbos

If you’re serious about competitive battling or just want to max out your favorite Pokemon’s stats faster, this code is a goldmine. Training becomes significantly easier when you don’t have to grind for vitamins.

Version-Exclusive Rotom Phone Cases (Expire January 19, 2026)

SB00KC0VER – Scarlet Rotom Phone Case (Pokemon Scarlet Only)

Exclusive cosmetic for Scarlet players
Expires January 19, 2026

Picnic Ingredients Bundle (Expires January 19, 2026)

P4LD3AP1CN1C – Paldea Picnic Ingredients

x5 Egg
x5 Hamburgers
x5 Onions
x5 Pickles
x5 Potato Salad
x5 Tomatoes

This code is incredibly useful for sandwich-making during picnics, especially if you’re hunting for shiny Pokemon or need specific sandwich powers for breeding. The ingredients save you time and money, letting you focus on what matters—catching Pokemon!

Are There Free Pokemon Mystery Gift Codes Available?

Unfortunately, no free Pokemon are currently available through Mystery Gifts. The most recent Pokemon distribution was Federico Camporesi’s Whimsicott, which he used to win the International Championship in November 2025. That code has since expired.

While it’s disappointing there aren’t any Pokemon available right now, Game Freak and The Pokemon Company typically distribute special Pokemon around major events, championships, or holidays. Given that we’re in January, there’s a chance we might see something special for the holidays or early 2026.

My advice? Bookmark this page and check back regularly. When new codes drop, they often come with limited-time windows, and missing out on a competitive Pokemon or shiny distribution is never fun.

How to Redeem Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Mystery Gift Codes

Redeeming Mystery Gifts is straightforward once you’ve unlocked the feature. Here’s your step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites

Before you can claim any Mystery Gifts, you must:

Progress through the story until you reach Los Plato
Enter the first Pokemon Center
Speak with the Pokemon Center staff

Once you’ve completed these steps, the Mystery Gift feature becomes permanently available.

Redemption Steps

Step 1: Access the Poke Portal

Press X to open the main game menu
Select Poke Portal from the right side menu options

Step 2: Select Mystery Gift

Choose the Mystery Gift option at the bottom of the Poke Portal menu

Step 3: Choose Your Redemption Method

For codes: Select “Get With Code/Password”
For internet distributions: Select “Get via Internet”

Step 4: Enter Your Code

Type in the code exactly as shown (codes are case-sensitive)
Confirm and claim your reward

Step 5: Collect Your Gifts

Pokemon are added directly to your Party or Boxes
Items go straight to your Bag
Check “Check Mystery Gifts” in the menu to view your redemption history

Important Note: The Mythical Pecha Berry and other “Get via Internet” distributions don’t require codes. Simply select the first option, “Get via Internet,” and the game will automatically download available gifts.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Mystery Gifts in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Claim Codes Immediately: Mystery Gift codes often expire without much warning. When you see a new code posted, redeem it right away—even if you don’t need the items immediately.

Check Multiple Sources: Follow official Pokemon social media accounts, Nintendo newsletters, and trusted Pokemon community sites. Codes can drop from various sources, including championships, promotional events, and holiday celebrations.

Set Reminders for Expiration Dates: Some codes last weeks or months, while others expire in days. Add expiration dates to your calendar so you don’t miss valuable distributions.

Don’t Sleep on Sandwich Ingredients: The P4LD3AP1CN1C code might seem underwhelming, but those ingredients are essential for shiny hunting and optimizing breeding. Having extra ingredients on hand saves countless trips to stores.

Evolution Stones Are Precious: While you can find evolution stones in the wild, the ELEMENTST0NES and C0SM1CST0NES codes give you instant access to all the essentials without the treasure hunt grind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Mystery Gifts

Can I redeem the same Mystery Gift code on both Scarlet and Violet?

It depends on the code. Version-exclusive codes like STRACKSU1T (Scarlet) and VTRACKSU1T (Violet) only work on their respective games. However, universal codes like ELEMENTST0NES or V1TAM1NS can be redeemed once per save file on both versions if you own both games. Each save file can only redeem a code one time.

What happens if I enter a Mystery Gift code after it expires?

You’ll receive an error message stating the code is invalid or has expired. Unfortunately, there’s no way to claim expired codes—once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. This is why it’s crucial to redeem codes as soon as you see them, especially for limited-time Pokemon distributions.

Do I need Nintendo Switch Online to claim Mystery Gifts?

Yes and no. For codes entered via “Get With Code/Password,” you’ll need an active internet connection but not necessarily a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. However, for “Get via Internet” distributions (like the Mythical Pecha Berry), you do need internet access. You don’t need NSO for either method—just a standard WiFi connection.

Will there be more free Pokemon Mystery Gifts in the future?

Almost certainly! Pokemon games have a long history of distributing special Pokemon through Mystery Gifts, especially around major tournaments, holidays, and promotional events. The pattern suggests we’ll likely see new Pokemon distributions for the 2026 championship season, special occasions, or when new DLC or content updates drop. Keep checking back regularly for updates, as these distributions often happen with little advance notice.
