Presents

If you've played through the main game in Pokémon Sword and Shield, one character you should remember is the Ball Guy who appears at every stadium in the game and gives you unique Poké Balls every time you see him.

Well, last year he began giving out codes on social media for Mystery Gifts that gift you rare Poké Balls and other free goodies simply by typing in a code. The Pokémon Company is also distributing codes via other means.

Below you'll find a full list of all the Pokémon Sword and Shield Mystery Gift codes currently available, plus instructions on how to input them and claim your rewards. A big thanks to Serebii.net who keeps a close eye on these things — follow them on Twitter for up-to-the-minute info on everything Pokémon-related.
