Free Swag Alert! Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Dropping Tracksuits Like It's Hot (July 2025)
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are giving away free tracksuits via Mystery Gift codes, along with other goodies, so boot up your Switch and claim them before they disappear! Shiny Tera Raids are live, too, so there's plenty to keep you busy until the next big announcement.
Alright, trainers, listen up! It seems The Pokémon Company is feeling generous (or maybe they just found a load of leftover fabric), because *Pokémon Scarlet and Violet* are dishing out some free tracksuits via Mystery Gift codes. I know, I know, cosmetics aren't exactly game-changing, but hey, free is free, right? (And let’s be honest, who *doesn’t* love a good tracksuit?)
According to Game Rant, who spotted this faster than a Snorlax spotting a plate of pancakes, these version-exclusive tracksuits are up for grabs right now. No expiry date listed *yet*, but you know how these things go – grab 'em before they vanish like a Mimikyu in bright sunlight.
So, here's the skinny:
* **Scarlet Tracksuit:** Use the code `STRACKSU1T` (Scarlet version only, obviously). * **Violet Tracksuit:** Enter `VTRACKSU1T` (Violet version only. Don't try it on Scarlet. I mean, you *can*, but it won't work, and you'll just look silly.)
Now, before you go all cynical and reckon this is just a cheap way to keep us distracted from, I dunno, *actual* new content, let’s look at the bright side. A fresh tracksuit is a fresh look, and a fresh look is halfway to a fresh start. Maybe this is the wardrobe upgrade your trainer needs to finally beat that pesky Elite Four member who keeps wiping the floor with your team.
Plus, there are a bunch of *other* codes floating around, too (again, according to the eagle-eyed folks at Game Rant):
* **Wei Chyr's Rillaboom:** `R1LLAB00M2024TW` (Expires July 31st, so get moving!) * **Elemental Evolution Stones:** `ELEMENTST0NES` (Expires January 1, 2026 – plenty of time, but still, don't dawdle). * **Sandwich Ingredients:** `P3LD3AP1CN1C` (Expires January 19, 2026. Essential for those picnic buffs out there). * **Kitakami Rotom Phone Case:** `NE0R0T0MC0VER` (No expiry date). * **Scarlet Rotom Phone Case:** `SB00KC0VER` (Scarlet only, no expiry date). * **Violet Rotom Phone Case:** `VB00KC0VER` (Violet only, no expiry date).
To redeem these bad boys, just fire up your Switch, connect to the internet, and head to the Mystery Gift section in the Poké Portal. Easy peasy. No Nintendo Switch Online subscription required for this particular freebie, which is a nice bonus.
But wait, there's more! Shiny Wo-Chien Tera Raid battles are happening right now until August 3rd. And throughout August and September, the rest of the Treasures of Ruin crew will show up too. So, you might snag yourself some shiny legendaries if you’re feeling lucky. There are also mass outbreaks with increased shiny chances for Pokémon like Capsakid, Petilil and Oddish. Who knows, you might just get that perfect shiny you've always wanted!
So, yeah, tracksuits. Not exactly earth-shattering, but a nice little freebie to tide us over. And hey, maybe all this generosity is a sign of good things to come? Or maybe it's just a really good marketing ploy. Either way, I'm not complaining. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to redeem my tracksuit and ponder the deeper meaning of free virtual clothing.
Keep your eyes peeled for more news coming out of Gamescom 2025 in August. It sounds like Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have even more up their sleeves.
