Otsukimi Clefairy
Otsukimi Pippi camapign logo
This Clefairy was distributed via serial code to players of all Generation VIII games at the Pokémon Centers in Japan from September 3 to 11, 2022 as part of the おつきみピッピ (Otsukimi Pippi) marketing campaign in commemoration of the Otsukimi festival in Japan. A pamphlet with three serial codes could be obtained during the distribution period, but in order to obtain it, the recipient must imitate the move Metronome. The codes are single-use; one of the codes on the pamphlet is valid for Sword and Shield, the second is for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and the last is for Legends: Arceus. The codes expired on September 30, 2022.
A bug involving Clefairy's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean language game. Clefairy's origin language will be set to Japanese, but it is set to have no nickname, causing the game to assign it Clefairy's species name in Korean. Since its nickname contains characters not present in the font used for Japanese text, Clefairy's nickname will display as "??" when redeemed in this language.
Due to a printing issue, the code cards only had the randomised 12 digit serial code and omitted the 4 character prefix. For the third Legends: Arceus code the prefix J258 should be used before inputting the remaining 12 character code.

Teresa Roca's Hisuian Growlithe
Two codes, one for 20 Feather Balls and another for a Hisuian Growlithe, were distributed to promote the Brilliant Stars set of the Pokémon TCG at various locations in select countries between February 25 and April 4, 2022. These codes expired at 06:59 (UTC) on June 1, 2022. If redeemed in an Asian language game (Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese), this Hisuian Growlithe redeemed with English language tags instead.
A bug involving Growlithe's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean game. Growlithe's origin language will be set to English, but it is set to have no nickname, causing the game to assign it Growlithe's species name in Korean. Since its nickname contains characters not present in the font used for English text, Growlithe's nickname will display as "??".
