Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have several free Mystery Gift Codes for players to use. Some of them last until February 28, while others will expire in late March. Players do not need Nintendo Switch Online to claim these rewards.

To use active Mystery Gift Codes, trainers must:

  1. Pause the game and go to Poké Portal.
  2. Select the Mystery Gift option.
  3. Pick the Get With Code/Password option.
  4. Enter the code.
  5. Select OK.

After a short moment, the contents of the free rewards will automatically be delivered to the player's account. Both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have the same Mystery Gift Codes.

The free Garganacl is based on Jiseok Lee's winning 2023 San Diego Regional Championship team. This offer expires on February 19, 2023. You can also use the Get via Internet option to get a free Pikachu with a Flying Tera-Type. You only have until February 28, 2023 to do that.

The following sections will cover more details about the free Garganacl and Pikachu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

The free Garganacl has Leftovers as its item and the following moves:

  • Salt Cure
  • Recover
  • Wide Guard
  • Protect

It also has a Poison Tera-Type. Competitive Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Trainers should know that it has the same moves, item, and Tera-Type as the one Jiseok Lee used to win the 2023 San Diego Regional Championship.

In similar news, the livestream for the 2023 Oceania International Championships between February 16 and 19, 2023, revealed the free code for this Garganacl. It is 1STCHAMPSV, which is an apt name given the background of this free Pokemon.

You can only claim this free Garganacl once per save file. There isn't anything particularly unique about its moveset, although it should be stated that these moves are competitively viable from the get-go.

Players can find this Garganacl in their boxes, and its Original Trainer will be Jiseok. Interestingly, it's already EV-trained and has perfect IVs. Gamers only have a very short window to claim it, so don't forget to do it.

The free Pikachu is only obtainable using the Get via Internet option until February 28, 2023. Its moves are:

  • Fly
  • Tail Whip
  • Thunder Shock
  • Quick Attack

Pikachu cannot normally learn Fly, making this one of the few ways for players to get this move on this Electric rodent. You can only claim this Pikachu once per save file.
