To enter these codes, firstly, make sure your Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet. Then, open up the main menu and select the Mystery Gift option, “Get a Mystery Gift” and then “Get with Code/Password”.
You can then watch the gift as it makes its way to you. Your Pikachu can be found in either your party or Pokemon Box on your PC.
