Pokemon Sword & Shield: New Mystery Gift Schedule Revealed

While players patiently wait for the release of the Isle of Armor DLC, there's some good news about mystery gifts!

In the first few weeks after the release of Pokemon Sword & Shield, Mystery Gifts were a common feature in both games, enabling players to input a variety of codes in order to claim free gifts.

Throughout May and June, players will no longer need codes to redeem gifts when they release next month.

Here’s how to claim the new gifts!

Here's how to claim them:

1. Open Pokemon Sword or Shield.
2.  Access the Mystery Gift menu.

Full Gift Schedule

The Galarian Mr Mime and varieties of PokeBalls will be rotated during the next few weeks. For those that want a clearer picture to see what gifts are available at what time, there is a complete schedule for both Sword and Shield.

• May 29th-June 4th: Level Ball, Fast Ball, Love Ball, Friend Ball, Beast Ball and a Galarian Ponyta.
• June 5th-11th: Sweet Apple, Chipped Pot, Tart Apple, Cracket Pot, Whipped Dream, Sachet and a Galarian Corsola.
