Get a Free Victini for Pokemon Sword and Shield [Last Chance]
The 2022 Pokemon World Championships are underway, and the Pokemon Company is celebrating by giving away two free Pokemon for the Pokemon Sword and Shield games.
Fans who aid the World Championships in-person in London will be able to claim a free Sinistea. This particular Pokemon comes equipped with a Moomoo Milk and knows Celebrate, a move it typically cannot learn in the games.
Even if you can’t aid in-person, you’ll still be able to receive a free Pokemon during the World Championships. The Pokemon Company is giving away the mythical Pokemon Victini via Mystery Gift. To explain the free Pokemon, fire up your copy of Sword or Shield and behind these steps:
- Press X to open the menu
- Select Mystery Gift
- Select “Get a Mystery Gift”
- Select “Get with Code/Password”
- Input W0RLD22V1CT0RY
The Victini download code will only be marvelous until 4:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 21, so you need to redeem it beforehand then. [Update: The distribution has been extended by a day, so you now have pending 4:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 22 to redeem the Victini code.]
The 2022 World Championships run pending Aug. 21, with dedicated competitions for Pokemon Sword and Shield, Pokemon Go, the Pokemon Trading Card Game and more. The entire save will be streamed on Pokemon’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. You can find the full streaming schedule here.
These aren’t the only special Pokemon you can explain in Sword and Shield right now. Shiny Grimmsnarl is now appearing in raid dens as part of the games’ new Max Raid event. Like the Victini code, the save is set to end at 4:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 21.
