The launch of the Pokémon HOME cloud-based system allows Trainers to house all their Pokémon from multiple Pokémon games. This is usually achieved by syncing your Nintendo account to your Nintendo Switch console and mobile device to perform various actions, like trading, transferring, and viewing Pokédexes.
Another feature included with Pokémon HOME is the Mystery Gift, which Trainers can use to receive unique rewards. This guide will list all active and expired Mystery Gift codes and the rewards to earn for Pokémon HOME.
21st February 2024 Update: We've updated this guide to reflect all the latest working and active codes for the Pokémon HOME cloud service.
Trainers looking to catch every Pokémon possible and manage their Pokédexes can acquire more through the Mystery Gift mechanic. This grants Trainers exciting bonuses like exclusive items and Pokémon, which can be used across various games.

What makes redeeming for Mystery Gifts in Pokémon HOME is that it doesn't require a code for Trainers to input in-game. This is achieved by heading to the in-game menu, locating the Mystery Gift feature, and opening the tab.
Trainers should be able to see a little gift box on-screen, which, once opened, will award you the Pokémon and items available if you meet the requirements listed above. Regarding the items, you'll receive a code from the Mystery Gift, which, in turn, can be redeemed in-game for Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, or Pokémon GO.
