Pokémon Legends: Z-A Adds Poké Ball Pattern Vivillon Gift

Poké Ball Pattern Vivillon is now available

Pokémon Legends: Z-A players can now receive a Poké Ball Pattern Vivillon through Mystery Gift after the global Vivillon Challenge reached its community goal of 660,000 points. The reward is available until Thursday, February 25, 2027, at 5:59 p.m. PST.

The event centered on players around the world evolving Spewpa into Vivillon to help push the total score to the target. With the goal reached, The Pokémon Company is offering the special Vivillon form as a bonus for players who took part in the celebration or simply want to add the pattern variant to their collection.

How to claim the Mystery Gift

Requirements for redemption

Before the Mystery Gift option is available, players must unlock the Rewards feature in Mable’s Research. The Mystery Gift function appears within the Link Play menu after that point.
