List of event Pokémon distributions in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
This is a reverse-chronological list of event Pokémon distributions that were given away via the Internet mystery gift function to Pokémon games in Generation IX. An active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is not required to claim Mystery Gifts on Nintendo Switch games.
Due to a change in how Mystery gift trainer ID's are translated from a wonder card, Pokémon redeemed in Generation 9 will always have a Secret ID of 0000 when not using the receiving player's trainer ID number. Historically the secret ID was always identical to the wonder card ID, however Scarlet and Violet are programmed to nullify this despite the Secret ID on the wonder card still using the Wonder Card ID.

Flying Terastal Pikachu
This Pikachu with a Tera type of Flying can be received in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet via Mystery Gift as an early purchase gift from November 18, 2022 to February 28, 2023. This Pikachu knows the move Fly. Despite the player being its original trainer, it cannot be nicknamed.
Pikachu redeemed prior to February 3, 2023 could only be male and had both height and weight values fixed at 128, however the size value, (which determines actual model size and Mini/Jumbo Mark eligibility), was not fixed to any specific value.
On February 3rd at approximately 10:30 UTC, Pikachu's wonder card was replaced. Any Pikachu redeemed after this time was no longer gender-locked to be exclusively male, and now had a chance to be female. Additionally, Pikachu redeemed after this point also have both height and weight values of 0 rather than 128. This replacement wonder card also mitigated the effect of a change in how patch 1.2.0 handles scale values[1], the old wonder card would have locked Pikachu's scale value to 29 for the final day of the distribution had it still been live when patch 1.2.0 launched. With this change, Pikachu's scale value remained randomly generated.
