Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are already out in certain locations around the globe, and this means the first official distribution event is now officially live.
Between now and 28th February 2023, trainers and early purchasers in the Paldea region can receive a special Pikachu. This isn't just any Pikachu, either. It knows the move fly, which it is normally not able to learn and its Tera Type is Flying.
To receive this special Pikachu, you'll need to be connected to the internet and from there go to the Poké Portal > Mystery Gift and "Get via Internet". Note: The Mystery Gift feature is unlocked after you start the Treasure Hunt in the game's story (thanks, Serebii.net). In no time your flying Pikachu should be available in the game. This is available to trainers who purchased either the physical or digital versions of Scarlet and Violet.
This Level 5 Pikachu comes equipped with the following moves: Fly, Tail Whip, Thundershock and Quick Attack. And once again - you've got until 28th February next year to get your hands on this Mystery Gift.
Have you added this special Pikachu to your own party yet? Tell us in the comments.

Wow, great way to encourage people to be early adopters....
"um... lets just give our mascot balloons and a pirate cap" - "yeah okay, I have one of those left from when we couldnt think of anything else 8 years ago" - "haha keep coming back to those dont we"
Edit: Just redeemed its a standard pikachu model so the only thing fancy about is that it knows flying.
@Hayter I mean to be fair it’s based off of flying pikachu, I like the reference personally.
Just nabbed it, a flying Pikachu is always welcome.
@WallyWest I know sending Pikachu flying with Ganondorf's up smash is always welcome.
I really wish they would buff Pikachu's stats. It'd be nice to make the franchise mascot a little more competitive!

I want a flying pikachu which grows actual wings and flys around the world map.
@xLanS3105
Uh...are you ok? Do we need to call a therapist.
I've just finished playing for now but I will add him to my party as soon as I get home from work this evening. It's 5am and I have to be in at 8am so I'm going to be so tired now.
Oh well.
@xLanS3105 I'm not being facetious here, I really think you should call a help hotline. People can help you, whatever you're going through.
Im curious what he wrote...
Preorder didn't arrive yet...
@Ulysses This is why I've never liked Pikachu.
When I finally levelled one up in Sapphire (I never had RBY or GSC), I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.
@Ulysses When they did it in Let's go, people got angry because it was too strong, so it's never gonna happen again xD
Still waiting for Amazon to deliver mine, hopefully it'll be before the 28th Feb! 🤣
I guess I could use it as trade fodder.
I don't get the complaining. It's a freebie, it knows a move it can't normally acquire. What people were expecting, a shiny Rayquaza right off the bat? The Hidden Ability Torchic with a Mega Stone they gave away in ORAS effectively made me pick a different starter.
It's not like any of the early adopters were thinking about buying Scarlet/Violet after March if the freebies were not good enough
@Frappa Let's Go went too far because they gave Pikachu/Eevee cheap attacks that were created just for the games.
Tweaking Pikachu and even Raichu's stats to make them more competitive would be a nice balanced approach to making the franchise mascot more viable. Just a little more power, just a little more speed, etc.
