The Pokémon Company has begun its distribution of special codes for Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi, both of which are redeemable in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Fans who were signed up to The Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter by 25th September this year are eligible to receive both codes, and should now see an email in their inboxes (if you can't see yours, make sure to check your junk folder or keep an eye out over the next few days). The distribution is being held in celebration of the worldwide release of Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, which is now available to stream on Netflix.
If you were all signed up and have the codes ready and waiting, you can redeem them by booting up your copy of Sword or Shield and heading to the Mystery Gift option in the 'X' menu. Here's what you'll receive:
Dada Zarude
- Level: 70
- Ability: Leef Guard
- Held Item: Choice Scarf
- Moves: Jungle Healing, Hammer Arm, Power Whip, Energy Ball
Shiny Celebi
- Level: 60
- Ability: Natural Cure
- Held Item: Lucky Egg
- Moves: Magical Leaf, Future Sight, Life Dew, Heal Bell

Got my code. Don't have the games so I've stuck it on eBay 😅 might as well squeeze a few pennies for it.
[s]Haven't seen an e-mail yet.[/s]
Found it Gonna redeem them over once I got my Switch OLED (which should be any minute now)
Still no codes for me and still need check if brother gotta too.
Yeah, got mine this time
just got mine like 30 mins ago
I haven't got mine yet (I'm in the U.S.) and now I'm nervous 😬
Got my codes sent early in the morning.
Got my codes yesterday, already redeemed them on my Pokémon Sword game.
You only get the one set of codes, so no luck if you have multiple games!
Zarude - Sandstorm
UK, didn’t get any codes last time, not holding my breath this time. 🤷🏻♂️
@FatWormBlowsASparky You should do! I'm UK based and got an email earlier today. Maybe it slipped into your junk folder or something.
@Maximumbeans Can I have the Zarude code?
I haven’t received my code 😭am in the uk.
I have to redeem my code later today. But this is a nice freebie! A great way to send off SWSH. Criminally underrated games, they gave the best Multi-player competitive experience I have had since competitive online Pokemon was a thing.
Though not without some serious flaws too, the many improvements. Made to breeding, EV training, and other related things are as big for the series as the physical/special split was back in gen 4.
Got mine yesterday. Will redeem them on Sunday for my birthday.
I didn't get the email My account is so old that it's gotten wonky with the multiple transitions the site has made. I've wanted a shiny Celebi for a long time too.
gah! I didn't know this was a thing!
I somehow completely missed last month's story
@Maximumbeans I'm not UK based, but this might be the thing, i had to sign up with two emails for the newsletter as a prevention method, one never got any promotions and the other got them all, that's how i got the July Zarude email, and suddenly yesterday i got the new codes, so the other user might have gotten that bug where they just don't send emails? I saw a lot of comments saying their newsletter didn't work
I'm in the US. Unlike the last code giveaway, the newsletter with the codes showed up in my inbox with no issues. And I did not have to do anything funky to make sure it showed up. So it's still baffling why the last Zarude giveaway was botched and this one wasn't (at least in my experience)
I haven't got mine. Although I signed up for the newsletter last freaking month. And the site keeps logging me out.
Got mine yesterday.
Got my codes yesterday.
Never got my codes this time or last time no matter how often I sign up for the cursed Pokémon newsletters.
No code here in the UK.
Also, I wish people would stop saying Zarude Sandstorm. Yes we get it, you watch Leonhart, and most likely didn't know about the song until he mentioned it
Gah! Pokemon co. I have done everything on your customer support page. When I contact you I don't need you to parrot the advice I can read with my own two eyes!
I'm not the only one who suddenly stopped recieving newsletters. Fix this please!
I got hands on
2 dada zarude codes
2 shiny celbi codes
Give in 1 of each on my YouTube channel if I can get to 300 subs in a few days
@CharlieGirl If you haven't gotten them yet, I have the codes for the Celebi and Zarude if you want them. I don't play the game anyways.
@dont_simp_for_them
I want them…
@dont_simp_for_them YES PLEASE
Didn't get it. Immense frustration. I verified my email settings last month, and now have to explain to my boy that he won't be getting Zarude this time around, either. If anyone can help me avoid that heartbreak, I would greatly appreciate it.
@CharlieGirl Is there any platform or way I can privately chat with you?
I had been borrowing Shield from my brother, but gave it back to him a few weeks ago, so I asked him to redeem them and give the mons to me eventually. For some reason, the codes don't work in Home
@CharlieGirl I sent a chat message, idk if it worked so I'm letting you know here. I'll be waiting.
No on mine yet
Still waiting.
@dont_simp_for_them 👌🏽
@CharlieGirl 👌🏾
@dont_simp_for_them Thank you so much! You are a superstar 🌟⭐
@CharlieGirl No problem!
I actually did get it! Which is great because, even though I was signed up for the newsletters before, I had trouble getting the last code. This one worked though, thankfully.
Love me a shiny Celebi!
I'm sure I won't get mine like I haven't gotten the other codes distributed through the Newsletter. Why they can't just make these Mystery Gifts is beyond me.
Got mine today, Just got to redeem it.
@Sans_Undertale He said he put em on Ebay so.
I'm from Canada, haven't got my code yet. Been signed up to the newsletter for over a year, hopefully it didn't glitch since it was already enabled long before Sept 25.
I received mine yesterday 😊 the codes can only be used for either Sword OR Shield but not both. I tried lol.
I have singed up and I never got them at all this time or last time
No code for me and I'm not holding my breath. The Trainer's Club likes to periodically uncheck my newsletter preferences.
As usual, Philippines always gets nothing.
I signed up with two emails, one got them, one didn't. I planned on giving the other ones to my girlfriend, now she's upset
@Maximumbeans
Still never got any. I’ll just buy copies on eBay like last time though, no worries. 😋
I haven't gotten my codes from trainers club, any chance i can get it here? lol
I havent received them. I have never received them in previous give aways. The pokemon trainer club service sucks
No sign of them for me, same as last time they did this sort of thing. I checked my preferences beforehand and they seem to be right - the newsletters basically almost never show up for me, not even in spam.
I haven't gotten their newsletter in years.
I dunno why, cause I have had it checked and everything.
I missed it Or they haven't sent the email to America (Can someone check? I signed up for it today and I don't know much about it.)
Kind of wish I could have gotten the codes but I haven't played that game in months. I have barely put any time into it as well unlike some of the more dedicated fans. I am more excited for Pokémon Legends: Arceus myself. More my style.
Just checked Oct 7 mine was sent out.
@Mariotag
Same, I've been signed up since forever but I never get the newsletters or codes. The option used to be checked, but when I check back now the option to opt in or out of newsletters is gone?
Does anybody know how long these codes can be redeemed? As in, will they expire in a week or a year?
@JellyPop
It's a bit frustrating as I don't recall my login info.
I definitely had an account though.
They really need to get their act together.
@ZX-_EthansCool
Please subscribe
I'm still waiting for a email
@dont_simp_for_them
I would love to get the codes for zarude and shiny celebi
Thank you heisnbrg. Codes redeemed. Much appreciated.
Was initially disappointed as (like others) I am registered and signed up to the newsletter but still had yet to receive them.
My codes haven’t come in yet and I swear I checked the box to get emails. 😖
Never obtained... waiting after one week.
I have backup e-mail too, never obtained.
Both are signed up but no... what's wrong?
I collect a lot Event but this time missed... it's my fault?
Here huge fan of Pokémon. It's sad now.
Never got the newsletter with the codes so sent email to Pokemon Support and they gave me the codes 😄

@CodyMKW Oh cool, are they still giving out this way?
@JessieAC Nah don't think so I think it was only limited time for people that did not get the newsletter
