Shiny Xerneas Distribution Now Live In Pokemon Legends: Z-A

A Shiny Xerneas is now available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A through a Mystery Gift code, and a Shiny Yveltal is set to follow. Both can be claimed on Nintendo Switch 2 and on Switch.

If you missed the earlier Mystery Gift offer for Pokemon Champions, you can read about it here: Free Training Tickets In Pokemon Champions With New Mystery Gift. That one gave players a pair of Training Tickets as part of the celebration for the first International Championships of the 2027 season.

The Shiny Xerneas comes at level 100 with a Modest Nature and knows Geomancy, Thunderbolt, Moonblast and Focus Blast. It does not hold an item. It can be claimed until January 7, 2027. The Shiny Yveltal arrives later, on December 10, 2026, through its own separate distribution.

Open the menu in Pokemon Legends: Z-A and choose Link Play, then pick the Mystery Gift option. Select Get with Code/Password and enter the code CELEBRATE30TH. The gift arrives in your game, and the game saves automatically once it lands. Have you claimed the new distribution yet? Let us know in the comments below.
