These {{Shiny}} Pokémon were distributed for players of various countries who inserted a serial code that was given away at various locations. Both have perfect 31 {{IV}}s in all stats except Special Attack, which is instead 30. These Pokémon were distributed between October 22, 2021 and February 22, 2022 with specific dates varying by region. Owing to the server-side wonder cards being accidentally repealed, it was not possible to redeem these Pokémon during a 4 day period between February 3 and February 7, 2022.

On Western Language games, Zacian has the original trainer Lancer, whereas Zamazenta has the original trainer Arthur. This is a reference to {{wp|Arthurian Legends}} upon which both Pokémon are derived from, Namely {{wp|King Arthur}} and {{wp|Sir Lancelot}}. In Asian Language games, the original trainer is a localised form of "Galar".


Outside of South Korea, Players of Pokémon Sword can receive Shiny Zamazenta, while players of Pokémon Shield can receive Shiny Zacian. Codes obtained from the South Korean distribution can be redeemed in either game. It is possible to redeem both Zacian and Zamazenta on the same game. Each Pokémon is only obtainable once on per save file regardless of code origin.
