The Pokémon Company has released a new Mystery Gift promo code for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but players are expressing disappointment over the meager rewards. The code provides basic picnic ingredients that can be easily purchased in-game, leading to comparisons with previous codes that offered more substantial items like rare candies and Pokémon.
The Pokémon Company has revealed a new Mystery Gift promo code for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but many fans are expressing disappointment with the items they're receiving this time around. Scarlet and Violet, the latest generation of Pokémon games, allow trainers to explore the Paldea region. Despite their release in 2022, the games continue to receive support from The Pokémon Company through regular events and gift promo code s.
The newest code, however, has players reminiscing about the rewards from previous codes. The 'Paldean Picnic' Mystery Gift can be redeemed with the code P4LD3AP1CN1C for 5 Pickles, 5 Tomatoes, 5 Onions, 5 Hamburger, 5 Egg, and 5 Potato Salad. The code will be active until January 19, 2026, giving fans ample time to acquire their picnic provisions. Many players are disappointed with this offering because all the items can be purchased for a low price in the game. Fans disappointed with the 'Paldean Picnic' rewards from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet cite previous codes as a point of comparison. Previous codes rewarded players with more substantial gifts, ranging from key items like rare candies to rare Pokémon. In a Facebook discussion of the Serebii.net code reveal, user William Pudelwitts notes, 'All the gifts are just groceries.' Others wish that the items were at least more valuable or rarer acquisitions. Facebook user Brandon Papatie notes that the ingredients in the reward are 'very cheap' and states that 'it could at least give us some mystic spice,' referring to Herba Mystica, which is used to increase the odds of finding a shiny Pokémon. Even the beautifully animated trailer accompanying the code reveal, as seen on GameTrailers, hasn't managed to appease fans. The comments on the YouTube video are equally negative, with fans expressing confusion as to why the code requires a trailer in the first place. Others comment that the animation is better executed than the actual game's animation, which at launch suffered from strange visual glitches.Our Take: The Pokémon Company appears to have missed the mark with this Mystery Gift. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet picnics are primarily used for shiny hunting. Picnics are a new addition to the Pokémon franchise, introduced in Scarlet and Violet as a way to strengthen bonds between players and their Pokémon. Players can set up a picnic almost anywhere in the overworld while exploring, allowing them to have their partner Pokémon out of their Pokéballs and play or relax nearby. While picnicking, players can bathe or play with their companions, hope for an egg to appear in the basket, or, of course, make and eat meals and sandwiches. Different ingredients provide different boosts, but in reality, players typically use picnicking for a different goal: shiny hunting. Setting up and then packing away a picnic in an area with a mass outbreak will cause the mass outbreak Pokémon to respawn without resetting any boosts that players have accumulated. Doing this makes it easier to find specific shiny Pokémon that players are seeking. And while some players might appreciate having extra ingredients on hand to share a meal with their companions, all the ingredients redeemable with this code can be purchased for a low price in various locations throughout the game. This has left many players disappointed, with some stating that it would take as much time to simply buy the ingredients as it would to enter the code and receive them for free. That said, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are still hosting events and giving away goodies regularly, so fans can likely look forward to a more rewarding experience next time.
