How to get Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi codes in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Trainers will soon be able to download the Mythical Dada Zarude in Pokemon Sword & Shield for free to celebrate the new Secrets of the Jungle movie! Here’s how to get your code.

Zarude made waves when it debuted in Sword & Shield, partly because the release of a Mythical or Legendary is always an exciting prospect, but also because many Trainers didn’t manage to get a code to claim one for themselves.

Fortunately, another chance to get Zarude is on the way, as The Pokemon Company have revealed details of a new promo where Trainers will be able to claim Dada Zarude – which is pretty much just a regular Zarude wearing a pink scarf.

How to get Dada Zarude in Pokemon Sword & Shield

In order to get Dada Zarude in Sword & Shield, players need to sign up for the Pokemon Trainer Club newsletter and opt in to marketing emails before the September 25, 2021 deadline.
