While serial codes are still issued with region identifying characteristics, unlike 3DS games, there are no region locks. Every serial code will work with any valid game regardless of region or language provided the player is connected to the internet and uses a legitimate serial code during the advertised distribution period. An active subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games. Although the games are capable of receiving events via the internet without a serial code, this distribution method was never used. | While serial codes are still issued with region identifying characteristics, unlike 3DS games, there are no region locks.

For Pokémon with random attributes such as [[Nature]] or [[Ability]], this is generated upon redeeming the serial code and cannot be saved and reset for. | |||
Serial codes are 16 characters long and do not use the letters '''I''', '''O''' or '''Z'''. The first 4 characters (the prefix) of a code is static and corresponds to a specific distribution window. The first character of the prefix dictates the origin of the code which may be relevant in certain distributions where codes of different origins have different validity periods. | Serial codes are 16 characters long and do not use the letters '''I''', '''O''' or '''Z'''.

[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/gp/pokecen/birthday/ This] Chansey | [https://www.pokemon.co.jp/gp/pokecen/birthday/ This] Chansey was distributed via [[serial code]] to players at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores and [[Pokémon Store]]s in Japan from November 16, 2018 to November 14, 2019, if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch. The codes expired February 29, 2020. | ||
A bug | A bug involving Chansey's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese language game. Since Chansey's origin language is enforced as Japanese by the Wonder Card server but its nickname isn't enforced as Japanese, the game will generate a Pokémon whose origin language and nickname don't match typesets. This causes Chansey's nickname to be displayed as "??" when redeemed in Korean, and "???" when redeemed in Simplified or Traditional Chinese. | ||
