Note: The Mystery Gift feature is unlocked after you start the Treasure Hunt in the game&#8217;s story (thanks, <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.serebii.net\/\">Serebii.net<\/a>). In no time your flying Pikachu should be available in the game. This is available to trainers who purchased either the physical or digital versions of Scarlet and Violet.<\/p>\n<p>This Level 5 Pikachu comes equipped with the following moves: Fly, Tail Whip, Thundershock and Quick Attack. And once again &#8211; you&#8217;ve got until 28th February next year to get your hands on this Mystery Gift.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"The Pok\u00e9mon Company\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b9fed7d48e897\/the-pokemon-company.large.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA1OTkgMzM4Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"599\" height=\"338\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b9fed7d48e897\/the-pokemon-company.original.png\" alt=\"The Pok\u00e9mon Company\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Have you added this special Pikachu to your own party yet? <em>Tell us in the comments.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: The Pok\u00e9mon Company Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet are already out in certain locations around the globe, and this means the first official distribution event is now officially live.
