As it's routinely done with previous games in the series, The Pokemon Company is giving away a variety of freebies for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. These in-game goodies range from helpful items to elusive Mega Stones that can't otherwise be acquired, making it worthwhile to snag them while you can.
Most of the free items can be downloaded via Mystery Gift, a function that you'll automatically unlock after the first time you speak with Mable at the Pokemon Research Lab, roughly one hour into the adventure. However, the freebies are typically only available for a limited time, so you'll want to claim them as soon as possible.
Here's a roundup of all the free Mystery Gifts available right now for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, along with instructions on how to claim each of them. With the launch of the game's Mega Dimension DLC, more gift distributions will likely happen in the future, so check back often to make sure you don't miss any freebies.
As a bonus for early adopters, everyone who purchases a copy of Pokemon Legends: Z-A before February 28, 2026 can receive a free Ralts via Mystery Gift.
This Ralts comes equipped with a Gardevoirite Mega Stone, which allows its final form, Gardevoir, to Mega Evolve during battle.
To claim the free Pokemon, press the X button to open the menu screen and follow these steps:
If you miss your chance to snag this free Ralts, you can still obtain a Gardevoirite from Quasartico Inc., but this is a good opportunity to add one to your inventory early and get a head start on your adventure.
