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

Pokémon Legends: Z-A has been out since October 2025, 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.

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.

Only Evergreen Codes Remain Before New Title Releases

Since Legends: Z-A launched, we've seen numerous events, including Mystery Gift-based missions. From Mewtwo with the "Project M" side mission to Garchomp through the "Special Distortion Detected" quest through the Mega Dimensions DLC, there have been plenty of gift opportunities. HOME support has also finally arrived for Z-A, so you can either extract your Pokémon or have them visit Pokémon Champions​​​​​​.

Unfortunately, the lion's share of Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mystery Gift codes dropped since release have already expired. As of October 2026, however, there are still a few active promotions, and they don't seem to be expiring any time soon. Many of these codes are ones that have been around since the spin-off title's launch, indicating that they are likely evergreen phrases players can redeem at any time.

In other words, The Pokémon Company hasn't given us a firm date for some code expirations, but many of the ones for this month remain the same as those from prior timeframes. In total, there are five different Mystery Gift bundles you can get through codes or meet certain requirements, such as completing parts of the game.

The table below goes over every Mystery Gift available for October 2026, including the code tied to it or its redemption requirements:

Mystery Gift	Code/Redemption Requirements	Expiration Date
Max Revives x5 Full Restore x10 Ultra Balls x10	Use Code PREPAR1NG	March 31, 2027
Mewtwonite X Mega Stone Mewtwonite Y Mega Stone "Project M" Side Mission Exp. Candy XL	Complete the campaign of Legends: Z-A (Acquired via Internet connection).	N/A
Garchompite Z Mega Stone "Special Distortion Detected" Side Mission	Complete a hyperspace adventure in the Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC (Acquired via Internet connection).	N/A

1x Cherish Ball Audino	Given through a unique code given to visitors at Pokémon Center Stores in Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan during a player's birthday month.	October 31, 2026

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. Link Play is tied to many different rewards for the game, but only becomes something you can access with a proper internet connection.

Follow this simple step-by-step guide below to access the contents of various Mystery Gifts through Link Play:

1. Open the Link Play menu after unlocking it through Legends: Z-A story progression.
2. Find the "Mystery Gift" option within Link Play.
3. Choose either "Get via Internet" or "Get with Code/Password"
4. Input a code or password (if applicable) to unlock content within the game.

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.

As of October 2026, there is only one Mystery Gift code that requires the input of a password. Be careful to copy the right grammar and spelling of this phrase to ensure you get the code's rewards via Link Play.

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.
