The Pokemon World Championships 2022 kick off today, meaning there’s a new mystery gift code for Pokemon Sword And Shield although we know the mystery gift is a Victini. The mystery gift code only lasts for a few days, so make sure to use it before it expires on August 21, 2022.
What is the Pokemon World Championships 2022 mystery gift code?
The code is W0RLD22V1CT0RY and it was given out during the Pokémon World Championships stream. Players can redeem this code until 23:59 UTC on August 21, 2022. The code will give Pokemon Sword and Shield players a Victini with the following attributes:
- Level: 50
- Nature: Brave
- Ability: Victory Star
- Item: Starf Berry
- Moves:
- V-create
- Zen Headbutt
- Work Up
- Flame Charge
There are currently no other ways to get a Victini Pokemon in Sword and Shield with the exception of importing one from Pokémon Home. This may also be the last chance to get Victini in the games as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are due to be released later this year and will likely take priority. More information on the latter games has been promised for the closing ceremony of the World Championships.
How to redeem the mystery gift code in Pokemon Sword and Shield
Players will need to redeem the Pokémon World Championships Victini code within the game itself. Here are the steps you need to follow to redeem the mystery gift code in Pokemon Sword and Shield:
- Launch Pokémon Sword or Shield.
