It’ll last from now through September 15 and again, it’s a part ofSwordandShield(it doesn’t extend toDiamondorPearlremakes like a few other distributions this year). You just need to select the mystery gift portion of the menu (which you’ll unlock in the first few hours) and enter the code below.

We’ve been saying it for a little while now, but this could be one of the final distribution events forSwordandShieldas the door closes on that generation.ScarletandVioletwill take over later in 2022, and although there should be a few initialSwordandShielddistribution events, everything will cycle to the newest gen sometime in 2023. It’s how things go!
