PSA: You can get Ash’s Sirfetch’d now in Pokemon Sword and Shield

This promo runs through September 22

In line with prior distribution events to celebrate Ash’s party in the Pokemon TV series, Ash’s Sirfetch’d is now live.

The news was announced on Twitter, which once again broadcasted the code on TV Tokyo in Japan on September 9. Remember, Ash’s Gengar is available until September 15, so you can get a few free Pokemon while you’re at it. The entire team that this event is celebrating includes: Dracovish, Dragonite, Gengar, Sirfetch’d, and Lucario. All you need to do is load up the mystery gift screen and enter the code below (if you have your copy of the game but haven’t started it yet, you’ll need to spend a short while with the intro to unlock the mystery gift functionality).

All of these distribution events noted here apply solely to Pokemon Sword and Shield, as we start to enter the new generation of the series in just a few months. While there’s been a handful of other games since then, it’ll be easy enough to get all of these free creatures in a box somewhere and ship them off to Scarlet and Violet whenever the bank service is available.
