In celebration of this, players can also redeem Mystery Gift Codes in Pokemon Sword and Shield to unlock the entirety of the Ash Championship Team in the game. In this article, we'll update you on the Ash team Mystery Gift codes as they come out.

Pokemon Sword and Shield came out for the Nintendo Switch on November 15, 2019, and was one of the weakest games in the lineup in terms of critical perception, heavily criticized for its lack of polish and depth. Still, the game performed well commercially, selling over 24.27 million copies worldwide, and spawning a pair of expansion pack DLC.
A better-received Pokemon title, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, came out three years later in Early 2022. The ninth generation of Pokemon games is due to come out later this year called Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on November 18, 2022. Both games are exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.
