A Championship-winning Pokemon is now available as a free download in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, as a powerful Dragapult is being given away via the Mystery Gift system.

The latest Pokemon that’s been given away as a Mystery Gift is special, as a few Pokemon that prove themselves on the battlefield can earn the ultimate achievement of becoming part of the games, as is the case with the Dragapult that was used to win the 2023 North American International Championships.

The winner of the 2023 NAIC was Alex Gómez Berna from Spain, whose team consisted of a Dragapult, Chien-Pao, Iron Hands, Dondozo, Ting-Lu, and Flutter Mane. To celebrate this victory, their Dragapult has been added to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet via a Mystery Gift.

The players who want to utilize the power of this mighty dragon can do so, as it was added to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet during a major international tournament. Here’s how to claim the NAIC Dragapult in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
