Pokémon Champions launched on 8 April 2026 for Nintendo Switch with a brand-new turn-based battle system. Right at launch, the developers dropped a Mystery Gift code that hands you a free Pokémon, so you will want to grab it before it disappears. Here is everything you need to know about the active codes, what you get, and how to redeem them.

All Active Pokémon Champions Mystery Gift Codes (April 2026)

There is currently one active Mystery Gift code available in Pokémon Champions:

CodeRewardValid Until
CHAMP10NFree Machamp8 May 2026

Since the game just launched, there are no expired codes yet. However, the window to claim this one is limited, so redeem it as soon as possible. Also note that the “1” in CHAMP10N is the number one, not the letter I — copy it carefully.

How to Redeem Pokémon Champions Mystery Gift Codes

You must complete the in-game tutorial before the Mystery Gift menu becomes available. Once you have done that, follow these steps:

  1. Launch Pokémon Champions on your Nintendo Switch.
  2. Open the SubMenu from the main screen.
  3. Select Mystery Gifts.
  4. Tap the “Enter a code or Password” box and type your code.
  5. Press Confirm to claim your reward.

Each code works once per Nintendo Account, so you cannot use the same code twice on the same account.

Free Machamp — Stats, Moves, and Ability

The CHAMP10N code gives you a Machamp that comes pre-built with a strong competitive moveset. Here is a full breakdown:

Ability — No Guard: This ability ensures that every move used by or against this Machamp will always land. That means Dynamic Punch, which normally has shaky accuracy, becomes a guaranteed hit, making this Machamp immediately useful in battle.

Other Free Rewards at Launch

Beyond the Mystery Gift code, Pokémon Champions gives you several freebies right at the start:

Why Is My Pokémon Champions Code Not Working?

If your code is throwing an error, one of these is likely the reason:

  • No internet connection — You need an active network connection to redeem codes online.
  • Typo in the code — Codes are case-sensitive. Copy-paste directly to avoid errors, and double-check that the “1” in CHAMP10N is the number one.
  • Already redeemed — Each code is one-use per Nintendo Account. It will not work a second time on the same account.
  • Expired code — CHAMP10N expires on 8 May 2026. If you are past that date, the code will no longer work.

How to Get More Pokémon Champions Mystery Gift Codes

The developers release Mystery Gift codes through the game’s official social media channels. However, if you do not want to keep checking those yourself, bookmarking this page is the easier option — new codes get added as soon as they go live.
