All Active Codes In Pokémon Legends: Z-A (May 2026)

Pokémon Legends: Z-A has been out since October, but it's still getting plenty of small updates in the form of Mystery Gift codes. Mystery Gifts provide players with a continual stream of rewards, some of which require specific codes to activate. These codes expire and change frequently, so you'll have to stay on top of them if you want to maximize the benefits.

Since Legends: Z-A launched, we've seen numerous events, including Mystery Gift-based missions. Mewtwo came first with the Project M side mission, and then Garchomp with Special Distortion Detected. The DLC has thrown a wrench into the mix with dimensional portals, and hopefully, there's more to come, given the long wait for Generation 10. At the very least, HOME support has finally arrived for Z-A, so you can either extract your Pokémon or have them visit Pokémon Champions​​​​​​.

With Pokémon Winds and Waves not set to arrive until 2027, enjoying everything that Pokémon Legends: Z-A has to offer remains one of the best ways for Pokémon fans to occupy themselves this year. For those who have recently pivoted to Pokémon Pokopia, the social simulation spin-off also has its own set of codes and rewards to track from month to month.

Unfortunately, the lion's share of Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mystery Gift codes dropped since release have already expired. As of May 2026, however, there are still a few active promotions, and they don't seem to be expiring any time soon.

In other words, The Pokémon Company hasn't given us a firm date for the expiration of Project M and Special Distortion Detected, allowing players to delve into additional missions for Mega Stone rewards.

Hopefully, more Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mystery Gift codes will crop up soon. There's always a chance we could see more side missions, especially leading up to the marketing for Winds & Waves​​​​​​. With no announced Pokémon game on the way beyond Generation 10, it could be a long wait.

Mystery Gifts can't be redeemed in Pokémon Legends: Z-A off the bat, as you'll need to make some progress in the story first. After meeting Mable in the third main mission (A New Life in Lumiose City), the Link Play option will become available in the main menu.

Open the Link Play menu, find the Mystery Gift option, and select it. You'll then have the option to choose "Get via Internet" or "Get with Code/Password."

If you've met the requirements for any Mystery Gifts based on game completion, select Get via Internet, and the game will automatically provide any Mystery Gifts that you're eligible for. If you have a code to input, select Get with Code/Password and input it to receive the Mystery Gift.

For the side missions, they'll become available on your world map and visible after obtaining the Mystery Gift item that enables them. They're essentially a "key" that unlocks the content. Since they're only 10 minutes long at most, it's encouraged to just get through them when you can, in case there's ever an expiration date.

Meanwhile, if you want to check whether you've previously redeemed a Mystery Gift or not, you can select the Check Mystery Gifts option to see what's already been redeemed. To see if there are any new Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mystery Gifts available, meanwhile, you can check back with this article for monthly updates.
