Pokemon players can claim these free gifts for Christmas
Pokemon / DexertoIt’s the most wonderful time of the year in the Pokemon world, giving players the opportunity to unwrap and redeem free gifts on offer in Pokemon Go, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as well as Pokemon TCG Pocket this Christmas.
Each Pokemon game allows players to pick up free items, Pokemon, and other collectibles in different ways. The mainline games, such as Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet, have a really simple Mystery Gift system where you just type in the promo code and receive your present.
However, in Pokemon Go, there are a variety of ways to get free things – from sending and opening gifts to other players, to promo codes.
Here, we’ve done a sweep of the three main games people are playing right now in the Pokemon universe, so you can collect as many free gifts as possible during the holidays!
Pokemon Go gifts
Niantic’s mobile game doesn’t have as many free gifts to claim as the other Pokemon titles this year, but you can still pick up a free hoodie for your in-game avatar with the Pokemon Go promo code below.
It’s not just an ordinary hoodie, either. Pokemon has collaborated with FENDI and FRGMT for a special Dragonite hoodie, available in real-life for $1,200. We’ll let you decide whether or not that’s good value, but definitely get one for your avatar regardless!

If you’re in the spirit of trading this Christmas as well, there are also lots of different trade codes you can use to celebrate the festivities with a new Pokemon!
Pokemon TCG Pocket gifts
In TCG Pocket, there are two main gifts we recommend you go for this year. Firstly, you can pick up free packs of cards in the game – simply by checking in every 12 hours for your Pack Stamina bar to refill.
On top of that, keep an eye out for free Daily Gifts appearing in the in-app store as they will show up for a limited time occasionally.
For more information on how to redeem free packs and cards, check out our TCG Pocket rewards guide here.
So, there we have it! Those are all of the Christmas gifts you can claim in Pokemon games this holiday season – hopefully, you can put all of those new PokeBalls to good use and catch a shiny!
