Pokémon Pokopia & Legends: Z-A Mystery Gift Code: How to Claim the Free 30th Anniversary Rewards Before January 7, 2027
To celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, and Koei Tecmo Games (Omega Force) have rolled out a special cross-game Mystery Gift distribution. Running from November 12, 2026 through Thursday, January 7, 2027 at 10:00 p.m. UTC, a single universal password unlocks six exclusive interior decoration pieces in Pokémon Pokopia on Nintendo Switch 2 alongside a battle-ready Level 100 Shiny Xerneas in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, with no paid Nintendo Switch Online membership required.
CELEBRATE30TH Code: Full Breakdown of Rewards in Pokémon Pokopia and Pokémon Legends: Z-A
As confirmed on the official Pokémon website, this anniversary promotion uses a shared serial code across both titles: CELEBRATE30TH. Entering it on your island in Pokémon Pokopia immediately delivers the 6-piece Stylish Shiny Furniture Set without spending a single Poké Coin. Redeeming that exact same password in Pokémon Legends: Z-A (on Nintendo Switch or the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition) rewards your party or storage boxes with a Shiny Xerneas housed in a Cherish Ball.
| Compatible Game | Mystery Gift Code | Exact Unlocked Rewards | Expiration Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pokémon Pokopia (Switch 2) | CELEBRATE30TH | Stylish Shiny Set (6 items): 1x Antique Chest, 1x Cute Bed, 1x Cute Dresser, 1x Stylish Stool, 1x Lace Rug, and 1x Tea Set | Thursday, January 7, 2027 (10:00 p.m. UTC) |
| Pokémon Legends: Z-A (Switch / Switch 2) | CELEBRATE30TH | Shiny Xerneas (Lv. 100): Cherish Ball, OT Kalos (ID 261112), moves Geomancy, Thunderbolt, Moonblast, and Focus Energy | Thursday, January 7, 2027 (10:00 p.m. UTC) |
| Pokémon Pokopia & Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Revealed December 10, 2026 | Warm Cozy Set (15 items in Pokopia): 1x Antique Chair, 1x Antique Chest, 1x Antique Table, 1x Humidifier, 1x Stone Fireplace, 10x Stained-Glass Windows (Middle) + Shiny Yveltal (in Z-A) | December 10, 2026 to Thursday, February 4, 2027 |
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Redeem the Mystery Gift Code on Switch 2 and Switch
In Pokémon Pokopia, the Mystery Gift menu is not available right from the title screen. You first need to play through the opening tutorial for roughly 30 minutes until you restore and unlock access to a Pokémon Center on your island. Once you reach a working terminal, follow these steps:
- Interact with the PC terminal located inside or right outside any functioning Pokémon Center.
- Select "Get Items" from the terminal menu, then choose "Mystery Gifts".
- Select "Get with Code/Password" to connect your Nintendo Switch 2 to the internet.
- Enter the code CELEBRATE30TH (note that the in-game keyboard disables the letters O, I, and Z to prevent typos, so make sure to enter the number 0 in 30TH).
- Confirm the gift: all six furniture pieces from the Stylish Shiny Set will be added directly to your inventory and your progress will be saved automatically.
To claim your Level 100 Shiny Xerneas in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, open the main pause menu by pressing X, select "Link Play", navigate to "Mystery Gift" and then "Get with Code/Password", and input CELEBRATE30TH. Make sure to manually save your game afterward. In both titles, your console user profile must be linked to a Nintendo Account with an active internet connection, though a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription is not required. Each code can only be redeemed once per save file.
Second Wave Arriving December 10, 2026 Alongside the Dazzling Decorations DLC
This pastel Minccino-themed bedroom bundle is only the first half of the winter celebration. Just one day after the release of the Pokémon Pokopia Dazzling Decorations DLC launching December 9 on Nintendo Switch 2, The Pokémon Company will reveal a second cross-game password on Thursday, December 10, 2026, which will remain active through Thursday, February 4, 2027.
That December 10 password will unlock the Warm Cozy Set in Pokémon Pokopia, a hefty 15-item bundle built around a rustic winter cabin theme: 1x Antique Chair, 1x Antique Chest, 1x Antique Table, 1x Humidifier, 1x Stone Fireplace, and 10x Stained-Glass Windows (Middle) to line your walls. Mirroring November's Xerneas distribution, entering that same December code in Pokémon Legends: Z-A will grant Lumiose City trainers a Shiny Yveltal.
My Take
What I love most about this 30th anniversary giveaway is how smartly the dual-game password works in practice. Since I am already splitting my Switch 2 playtime between Lumiose City and building up my island in Pokopia, typing CELEBRATE30TH once in each game to walk away with a full six-piece bedroom set on one side and a Level 100 Cherish Ball Shiny Xerneas packing Geomancy and Moonblast on the other feels genuinely rewarding. Early on in Pokopia, crafting matching indoor furniture eats up a surprising amount of materials and Poké Coins, so grabbing the Cute Bed, Cute Dresser, and Lace Rug right after the 30-minute mark lets you put together a clean, cohesive room immediately while waiting for the Stone Fireplace and ten Stained-Glass Windows to drop on December 10.
