Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Announce Shiny Distribution Event

Key Takeaways

  • A Shiny Pelipper can be obtained via the promo code “W1DEGUARDLA1C25” in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
  • The distribution runs from November 15 to 21, lasting only a few days.
  • Players must connect online to redeem the Mystery Gift code for the Shiny Pelipper.



Pokemon Scarlet and Violet pulled back the curtain on a new Shiny distribution event, as players have just a few days to claim a Shiny Pelipper modeled after a championship-winning critter. The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Shiny distribution is done via a Mystery Gift code, but players will not have long to redeem it.

Known as the Water Bird Pokemon, Pelipper first appeared in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Pelipper is a Water and Flying dual-type critter that evolves from Wingull at level 25 and has access to various attacks that can catch unsuspecting foes off guard. Although Pelipper has a quadruple weakness to Electric-type attacks, its high physical defense and access to moves like U-Turn and Substitute allow Pelipper to protect itself and switch out quickly. As a rain setter via the Drizzle ability, Pelipper can use moves like Hurricane for serious damage, making it one of the best competitive Water-type Pokemon available.

Though other titles like Pokemon GO have held Shiny Pelipper events, mainline Pokemon players can grab one for a limited time. According to Serebii.net, the Shiny Pelipper distribution event is now live, and lasts until Thursday, November 21, at 6:59 PM Eastern. The distribution is being held to celebrate the ongoing Latin America World Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil. To obtain the Shiny Pelipper, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players must connect their Switch console to the internet and head to the Poke Portal in-game. Once there, trainers can select Mystery Gift, choose the Get With Code/Password option, and enter the promo code “W1DEGUARDLA1C25” to claim a Shiny Pelipper.


Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Shiny Pelipper Distribution Details


  • A Shiny Pelipper can be obtained via the distribution code “W1DEGUARDLA1C25” in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
  • The Shiny Pelipper distribution runs from November 15 to 21.
  • Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players must connect to the internet to redeem the Mystery Gift code.
  • Shiny Pelipper is modeled after one used in the 2024 North American International Championships.

The Shiny Pelipper currently being distributed in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is modeled after the one used by Pokemon VGC Masters Division Champion Patrick Connors during the 2024 North America International Championships. As for what trainers will get with Shiny Pelipper, it comes with the Drizzle ability to drench the battlefield in rainy weather for five turns. This allows Pelipper to use moves like Weather Ball and Hurricane for serious damage, but it can also use Wide Guard and Protect for defense. Pelipper will also have the Ghost-type as its Tera type. Given that Pokemon VGC rules use Double Battles as the standard format, Pelipper can work with other Pokemon that use moves like Thunder while the rain is up.


Pelipper also comes with a Focus Sash held item, and high effort values (EVs) in its special attack and speed stats. With other Shiny Pokemon events coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet soon, only time will tell what The Pokemon Company will do to keep players engaged.
