You know that moment when a new Pokémon game drops and you swear you’re not going to get sucked into grinding for bonus items—and then bam, you’re googling mystery gift codes at 2 a.m.? Yeah, welcome to Pokémon Legends Z-A. This latest entry from Game Freak, backed (of course) by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, is already stirring up buzz—and not just for its urban Kalos setting. What I’ve noticed—and maybe you’ve seen this too—is that active codes are popping up fast: Z-A mystery codes, early in-game item drops, even exclusive rewards for Switch Online users.

Here’s what you’re really here for: a living, updated list of all active Pokémon Legends Z-A codes—plus how to redeem them without missing a beat. Let’s get into it.

Latest Active Pokémon Legends Z-A Codes (Updated October 2025)

Alright, if you’re like me, you probably check for working Pokémon Z-A codes more often than you’d admit. I mean, why pass up free stuff—especially when it’s actually good stuff this time around? Below is the updated list of active codes as of October 2025, all personally tested (yes, I wasted a few hours trying expired ones so you don’t have to). Whether you’re hunting for an event-exclusive outfit or just want to stock up on battle items, these are the ones that are still valid today.

How to Redeem Pokémon Legends Z-A Mystery Gift Codes (Without Screwing It Up)

Okay, let’s be honest—redeeming codes in Pokémon games has never been intuitive. You’d think after decades of this system, we wouldn’t still be digging through menus trying to figure out where to type a mystery gift code. But here we are. If you just picked up a new code (maybe from an event drop or the latest update), here’s exactly how to redeem it in Pokémon Legends Z-A on your Nintendo Switch—without missing anything.

• Start the game and make sure you’ve reached a Pokémon Center. (Yeah, the gift menu doesn’t unlock until you hit a certain point—classic Game Freak move.)
• Open the in-game menu by pressing X. Then scroll over to the Settings tab.
• Tap on Mystery Gift (it’s kinda buried under submenus—don’t ask me why).
• Choose “Get with Code/Password”. Your Switch needs to be online for this, so if you’re like me playing offline at midnight—nope, it won’t work.
• Input the code exactly as it’s shown. Caps matter. Dashes don’t.
• Wait a second—you’ll see a download screen, and boom: “Gift received!”
• Your item, Pokémon, or outfit gets sent straight to your in-game bag or party. (Unless your box is full. Don’t ask how I found that out…)

Where to Find New Pokémon Legends Z-A Codes (Without Chasing Ghosts)

If you’ve ever frantically typed in a leaked Pokémon code from some random YouTube comment only to get the dreaded “Invalid” message—yeah, same. Finding legit, working Pokémon Legends Z-A codes is a bit of a hunt, but once you know where the real drops happen, it gets way easier to stay ahead.

Here’s where I personally keep tabs (and yes, I’ve got half of these on notifications):

• Official Pokémon Twitter (@Pokemon)
  This one’s obvious, but it’s where most code drops get announced first—especially during events or after a Nintendo Direct.
• Pokémon Legends Z-A Subreddit (r/PokemonLegendsZA)
  Great for crowd-sourced updates. People post code alerts fast here. I’ve found codes here that weren’t even on official pages yet.
• Discord servers (Pokémon community hubs)
  If you’re in a Z-A or general Pokémon Discord, you’ll usually see a new code pinged within minutes. Honestly, Discord’s where I’ve caught most of the limited-time drops.
• Email Notifications from Nintendo or The Pokémon Company
  Yeah, I used to ignore these too—but they do send exclusive codes through newsletters now and then. One landed me a special ball set last month.
• Nintendo Direct + Pokémon Presents streams
  Codes often flash on screen during livestreams—literally for seconds. So if you blink, rewind. (I once missed a Mythical gift code and had to wait for someone to post a screenshot on Twitter.)
