There are tons of ways to celebrate Pokemon Day 2026. You can dig into the details of new games (like Pokemon Champions or the gen-10 games, Pokemon Winds and Waves), or you can play one of the best Pokemon games from the last three decades.
More importantly, the 30th anniversary of the release of Pokemon Red and Blue means one thing: There are a lot of free goodies to be had for any Pokemon player. Whether you enjoy competitive battling or ripping open card packs, Pokemon Day is chock-full of new promo codes and free offers.
We’ve collected all of the freebies you can get, from mystery gifts for massive games like Pokemon Legends: Z-A to free currency for mobile games like Pokemon Masters and Pokemon TCG Pocket.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A
A free mystery gift distribution has begun in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. For the first time since the game’s launch, players will be able to get their hands on a Garchompite Z mega stone, enabling their dragon-type mudshark to evolve into a powerful new form.
In order to redeem a mystery gift in Legends: Z-A, follow this simple guide. Crucially, the Garchompite Z distribution is only available to players who have purchased the Mega Dimensions DLC.
Pokemon Go
This isn’t just the 30th anniversary of Pokemon — it’s also the 10th anniversary of the augmented reality game Pokemon Go. A new promo code has been released for the hit mobile game before the global launch of Go Tour Kalos.
By entering the promo code GOTOURKALOS on the Pokemon Go web redemption page, players will unlock the A Beautiful Day to Celebrate! timed research, which will provide the player’s choice of Chespin, Fennekin or Froakie Pokemon encounters upon completion.
Pokemon Masters EX
Pokemon Masters EX players can earn a decent chunk of premium currency if they log in to the game before March 31.
Any player who has completed chapter 1 of the main story will get 3,000 free gems by logging in now as a dual celebration of Pokemon Day and Pokemon Masters EX’s six-and-a-half-year anniversary.
Pokemon TCG Pocket
A new Pokemon TCG Pocket event will shower players with free packs and pack hourglasses. To celebrate the Pokemon franchise’s 30th anniversary, Pokemon TCG Pocket players will be able to gain 30 days of special login rewards between now and June 27.
The latest login event will cumulatively reward players with a Pokemon 30th Celebration Design playmat, binder cover, backdrop, card sleeves and a coin. Other rewards include eight Fantastical Parade booster packs, seven Deluxe Pack Ex booster packs, three Mega Rising booster packs, 96 wonder hourglasses, 72 trade hourglasses and 9,000 shinedust. It’s an incredible amount of free cards and in-game currencies.
There are also milestone rewards that grant additional bonuses once you’ve completed enough daily logins. On the first, 15th and 30th daily login, players will earn 120 pack hourglasses. In total, this is enough in-game currency to rip open 30 booster packs — it’s a great way for players to make steady progress toward completing the new Paldean Wonders set expansion.
