List of mainland China region event Pokémon distributions in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

This is a reverse-chronological list of event Pokémon distributions that were given away via the Code/Password or the Poké Ball Plus Mystery Gift functions to the mainland Chinese variants of the Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! games for the Tencent Nintendo Switch. In these games, Pokémon are generated when the code is redeemed, meaning the player cannot reset to get a different Nature or other attributes. A linked WeChat account is required to connect to the internet to claim Mystery Gifts on Nintendo Switch games.

Serial "codes" are one-time use codes. "Passwords" are codes that can be used by any number of people, but are usually limited to one redemption per save file.

All events listed below (except for the Poké Ball Plus Mew, which is universally freely redeemable) can only be redeemed on mainland Chinese versions of Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!. Note that all event Pokémon met locations except "Poké Ball Plus" are displayed as "faraway place" in the mainland Chinese versions, though the underlying location data is still displayed properly when traded locally to the international versions.

Poké Ball Plus Mew

The Poké Ball Plus comes programmed with an internal serial code to redeem this Mew in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. Despite being marketed as the Poké Ball Plus "containing" Mew, the serial code aspect means that to claim, the player must connect to the Internet through Mystery Gifts. Following the discontinuation of Nintendo Switch online services in mainland China on May 15, 2026 at 22:00 (UTC+8), Mew will no longer be able to be obtained.

The serial code aspect also means that it is impossible for a single manufactured Poké Ball Plus to redeem more than one Mew, even if the Poké Ball Plus is later resold. Players that purchased multiple Poké Ball Plus units can redeem one Mew for each. The origin of the Poké Ball Plus is not relevant for redeeming this event, as the device sold in mainland China contains the same hardware as those bought elsewhere.
