Pokémon Sword and Shield players can get their hands on a new set of freebies starting from today, as the game's recent run of Mystery Gift rewards nears its end.
Heading to the Mystery Gift menu will now grant you access to a Galarian Meowth with its Hidden Ability Unnerve, as well as a secondary gift containing 50 Big Nuggets and 100 EXP Candy L, perfect for levelling up and evolving your Pokémon. This replaces the Galarian Corsola gift which was available last week.
If you need help with this, simply press the 'X' button in-game to access your menu, choose 'Mystery Gift', and then select 'Receive via Internet'. You should find both new gifts waiting for you.
The gifts have been leading up to the release of The Isle of Armor, Pokémon Sword and Shield's first expansion. The Isle of Armor is set to launch on 17th June.
Excited to check out the new DLC next week? Let us know with a comment.

are we allowed to make comments on thsi thread seems some threads get locked off as the comments dont follow party line.
This suits me the items that is as i got a shiny Farfetch'd last night and need to get a bunch of vitamins for him so selling those nuggets can pay for that.
I'm so curious what level we "should" be at for the DLC? Obviously if I take my full team of level 100s it won't be much of a challenge, so I wonder are the mystery gifts an indication of what level you should be? Or maybe it'll set your levels to 50 or something.
If it's much lower level then I might just leave most of my main team in the pc and go ahead with one or two pokemon using only pokemon I catch in the dlc area, the hidden ability starter and kubfu

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’m figuring there will be new/returning ‘mon in raids on the first day so I could use them as my team to change things up a bit.
@Dremp I'm wondering if they will lock you out of your S&S PM until the story part is done and force you to use what you get in the expansion only with Kubfu serving as the "starter". Honestly i feel that's the best move, treat it like a soft reset until "post game".
@Fandabidozi true but if those raids are 5 star raids you're still bringing some pretty high-levelled 'mons in. Especially considering in the trailer they showed you going up against non-fully evolved pokemon (like poliwhirl).
@WallyWest I'd love if they did this! Might be the case, maybe they get you to pick another starter and that's how you get a gmax starter? Still wonder how that will work to be honest, I'm reeeeeally looking forward to gmax cinderace!!!
Honestly the Meowth is kinda irrelavant. But 50 big nuggets is real nice! Once the DLC drops I'll be playing a lot and making lots of new competitive teams! That money will help!
@Dremp Yeah this is all very new to PM so its really interesting to see how they will get round stuff like this. Seeing how they are focusing heavily on Kubfu i do really think they intend to restrict you from the PM you already have because otherwise what's to stop me from using my battle ready Lv 100 team? I know i don't have to but at the same time i don't have enough info to create a team ready around the Lv the expansion will be.
Money money money, must be funny, in the rich meowths world.
And all this money will be spent on performance enhancement drugs!
@Anguspuss @PieNinja let's not bring unrelated politics discussion to random threads.
Please, I'm sure you two are more than capable of finding the right place and medium to discuss this.
@Eel
I'm just talking about it because NL brought it up in a previous article and then disabled comments. I wouldn't just bring up real world issues on a gaming website unless the gaming website itself brought them up, then disabled comments when people dissented.
