Pokemon Scarlet and Violet kick off Gold Bottle Cap distribution

For a limited time, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet players can partake in a Gold Bottle Cap distribution.

Gold Bottle Caps are notable since they can maximize all six of a Pokemon’s IV stats. They are pretty rare and can normally only be obtained by making a purchase from the Auction House or buy earning it through the Academy Ace Tournament.

Follow the steps below to partake in the Gold Bottle Cap distribution for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet:

1. Launch Pokemon Scarlet or Pokemon Violet
2. Select the Poke Portal on the X menu
3. Select the Mystery Gift option
4. Select Get with Code/Password to connect to the internet
5. Enter your password (GETG0LD)
6. Watch as the gift arrives in your game
7. Be sure to save your game

If you’re interested in claiming this item, make sure you do so by June 4th at 14:59 UTC. This is one of the longer distributions we’ve seen for the games, but you still only have roughly two weeks to take advantage.

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are out on Switch now. As a reminder, the official website is located here with more information about the games. We also have a comprehensive list of all current and past Mystery Gift codes in our post here.
