After three long years of waiting, this weekend London finally plays host to the Pokémon World Championships for the first time. To celebrate, a pair of Pokémon distributions for Pokémon Sword & Shield have been announced. For physical attendees, whether playing or spectating, a special Sinistea will be available to redeem during the tournament itself. Meanwhile, online viewers worldwide will be able to receive Victini using a Mystery Gift code revealed during the Tournament’s 4 day broadcast schedule.

For attendees between the 18th August and the 21st, a local Mystery Gift distribution will be available, rewarding a Sinistea holding a Moomoo Milk item and knowing the event-exclusive attack, Celebrate.

This distribution is only for Pokémon Sword & Shield and only one Sinistea can be redeemed per game.
