Unlocking Mystery Gifts in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
If you're adventuring through Lumiose City and beyond in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you already know the thrill of discovering every secret the game offers. One of the best ways to keep your experience fresh is through Mystery Gifts: periodic bonus items, rare Pokémon, and in-game rewards distributed via codes or special conditions. These rewards regularly change, and grabbing the right code before it expires can give you a critical edge—whether that's extra healing items or coveted Mega Stones that echo the competitive metagame.
Current Active Mystery Gift Codes
While dozens of codes have been released since launch, only a select few remain active right now. Most require prompt redemption, but ongoing community events and DLC drops often bring new opportunities. Here are the current Mystery Gift rewards as of now:
- PREPAR1NG: Redeem for Max Revives x5, Full Restore x10, Ultra Balls x10
- Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y: Unlock via the "Project M" side mission (must complete the main campaign and connect online)
- Garchompite Z: Acquire after finishing a hyperspace adventure in the Mega Dimension DLC (internet connection required)
Check your in-game messaging for updates or future drops—especially during seasonal events and when new content is released.
Where and How to Redeem Mystery Gifts
The redemption process isn't immediately available from the start. First, progress through the story until you meet Mable during the third main mission ("A New Life in Lumiose City"). After this encounter, the Link Play feature becomes accessible from the game's main menu. Here's how you unlock every reward:
- Open the Link Play menu
- Select Mystery Gift
- Choose either Get via Internet (for event gifts you're eligible for) or Get with Code/Password (to manually redeem codes)
If you're unsure whether you've redeemed a specific code or event reward, check your Mystery Gifts history in the same menu—handy for tracking which items you've unlocked across multiple accounts.
Why Stay Updated?
Pokémon Legends: Z-A continues to evolve with each update, and rewards like Mega Stones or exclusive items can deeply impact both in-game progression and battle strategy. Developers have also used Mystery Gifts to tie in special community events or commemorate milestones in the wider Pokémon franchise, making certain gifts highly desirable—and sometimes only available for a limited time.
As the wait continues for the next mainline title, taking advantage of every active code and special distribution remains one of the most effective ways to round out collections and maximize time spent in Kalos. Don't forget: codes and gifts can expire without notice, making it a good practice to keep your eyes on official news streams and in-game alerts.
