After three long years of waiting, this weekend London finally plays host to the Pokémon World Championships for the first time. To celebrate, a pair of Pokémon distributions for Pokémon Sword & Shield have been announced. For physical attendees, whether playing or spectating, a special Sinistea will be available to redeem during the tournament itself. Meanwhile, online viewers worldwide will be able to receive Victini using a Mystery Gift code revealed during the Tournament’s 4 day broadcast schedule.

Sinistea Distribution

For attendees between the 18th August and the 21st, a local Mystery Gift distribution will be available, rewarding a Sinistea holding a Moomoo Milk item and knowing the event-exclusive attack, Celebrate.

This distribution is only for Pokémon Sword & Shield and only one Sinistea can be redeemed per game.

For anyone attending the World Championships this weekend, make sure to keep an eye out for signs around the ExCel venue for more information on distribution times and instructions on how to receive the Mystery Gift.
