Pokemon Champions is freshly out on Nintendo Switch, and The Pokemon Works has already dropped the first Mystery Gift code giving you a free Machamp to add to your team. Given that Pokemon Champions caps your box at just 30 mon, a powerful Fighting-type handed to you for free is worth grabbing immediately before the code expires on August 31, 2026.

How to unlock Mystery Gift in Pokemon Champions
The Mystery Gift feature is locked behind the opening tutorial. You cannot access it from a fresh save file. Once you clear the tutorial and reach the main Champions menu with full access to battle, recruit, and train options, the feature becomes available.
According to Eurogamer's guide coverage, you do not need a Nintendo Switch Online membership to redeem codes. You do need an active internet connection, but since Pokemon Champions requires a constant connection to play anyway, that is not an extra hurdle.
