## Intelligence Brief
The Pokémon Company has announced a new Mystery Gift code currently live in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. By using the code CELEBRATE30TH, players can receive a Shiny Xerneas, Nintendo Wire reported. The Shiny Xerneas has a guaranteed Modest Nature, comes in a Cherish Ball at Level 100, and knows the moves Geomancy, Moonblast, Focus Blast, and Thunderbolt. Both Geomancy and Moonblast are Plus Moves, according to Nintendo Wire.


Players have until Thursday, January 7th, 2027 to use the CELEBRATE30TH code to redeem the Shiny Xerneas. The same code will also work in Pokémon Pokopia to gift players a bundle of items, and that Mystery Gift code for Pokémon Pokopia will also expire on January 7th, 2027.


A second code will be released on December 10th that will work in Pokémon Legends: Z-A to receive a Shiny Yveltal and work in Pokémon Pokopia for a second bundle of items, Nintendo Wire said. The outlet stated it will publish the second code when it is released.


The Shiny Xerneas distribution is part of The Pokémon Company's celebration of the franchise's 30th anniversary in 2026, IMDb reported, citing GameRant. Other anniversary events include free Mega Mewtwo Raids in Pokémon GO, a new Pokémon TCG set, and new Tera Raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Separately, IMDb reported that the exclusive Poke Ball Pattern Vivillon is now available for free in Pokémon Legends: Z-A via Mystery Gift after players reached a collective goal of 660,000 points by evolving Spewpa into Vivillon.
