Update [Sun 26th Jun, 2022 05:00 BST]: The code for the Gastrodon Sword and Shield event has now been released, here it is: ER1CSGASTR0D0N
Original article [Thu 23rd Jun, 2022 01:25 BST]: Another limited-time Pokémon distribution event has been announced and this time it's for the latest release, Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Between now and 31st May 2023 (yes, next year), trainers can obtain a shiny variant of the Baneful Fox mask, which ties in with the final episode of Hisuian Snow (thanks, Serebii.net).
To obtain this mask, you'll need to boot up the game access "Mystery Gift" and "Get via Internet".
A new limited-time event has also been announced for Pokémon Sword & Shield. Later this week on Friday, players will be able to receive a special Gastrodon based on the one used by the winner of the European International Championships.
Here's the rundown of it via Serbii.net (note: the code will be revealed later this week):
"It's Level 50 with the Ability Storm Drain, Leftovers and the moves Earth Power, Ice Beam, Yawn, Protect."

WHOA, that's kinda cool!
I’ll download it, but... meh. Legends Arceus only has a modest number of outfit types with plenty of variations of each, but when one is ugly, pretty much all of them are.
Free stuff? Gotta get ‘em all
❗️LG Eevee; The Game that got me BACK into traditional Pkm Games.
Sword; The Game that KEPT me into traditional Pkm Games.
It's a shame the Legend Arceus anime special was only 3 mini episodes. I'd really love to see a full blown anime about Pokemon that isn't focused around Ash.
Arceus time-limited events: 365 days
Sword & Shield time-limited events: 11 seconds
Yay. I guess. Or something.
I grabbed this yesterday and I've got to say: it looks really nice.
By the way, I find it really funny how I managed to get two shinies in one run through of the Mirelands just half an hour after putting this Shiny variant of the mask on. I guess it really does bring the luck, huh?
Also, do yourself a favour and watch Hisuian Snow. It's only 3 episodes long and is still some of the best Pokemon animation we've had, WIT Studios is amazing.
serbii.net, my favorite Pokmon fan site.
Again, I really wish Mystery Gifts were tied to your Switch account instead of that specific save for future playthroughs. They're still treating it as if your info is tied to the cartridge and nothing else...
Free stuff is FOR ME stuff (please don't laugh)
Not bad I guess.
That three part show is really good (especially for the price of nothing) and it’s neat that the mask made its way into the game. Still need to return to Legends to wrap up the post game, saving that for a rainy day.
@SteamEngenius i liken my videogames like being a driver/pilot with radiocomm to the videogame character. Wtf is this mask shenanigans?
Does this change gameplay at all?
@AG_Awesome
No a free mask doesn't change the gameplay
I'm hoping for an announcement of some type of either Story DLC, or free Multiplayer Update, where you can run around together.
Read too quickly and thought the mystery gift code was for Legends, so I put in the Gastraon mystery gift code in Legends and got this interesting error:
"The gift provided by this code or password can't be received in this game."
I just figured it would simply say it's not a valid code.
The Gastrodon distribution for Sword and Shield is completely unrelated to the PLA mask distribution. It should've gotten its own article.
