Pokémon Scarlet & Violet free download available now, but you don't have forever

Love it or hate it, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet has some worthwhile content to play and download.

Despite not delivering the new Pokémon experience everyone had been hoping for, Nintendo still created a game we can’t leave alone.

You could return to the classic days of the franchise by checking out the stunning Unreal Engine 5 remake of Pokémon Emerald.

But doing so, without checking in on Scarlet & Violet first, will mean you miss out on a free download we’re certain you’ll want.

Would you board the real life SS Anne from Pokémon Red?

We’re referring to the latest Mystery Gift available.

You can get your very own Gyarados. But not just any Gyarados – one inspired by the Pokémon Melvin "Shaman" Keh used during the Singapore National Championships to win.

To catch this impressive specimen, you need to use the code ‘GYARAD0S2023SG’. Just don’t wait too long to use it.

Oh yes, like so many Mystery Gifts, this one has a deadline: 30 June.

It seems like a long way off at the moment, but as we’re already mid-way through May, the end of June will soon be upon us.

And you don’t want to be the only trainer without this Gyarados.

You’ll not only get a Level 50 Gyarados, but it’ll also be holding a Aguav Berry, and have the Tera type of Steel.

It will also know the following moves: Taunt, Thunder Wave, Protect, and Waterfall.

This is by no means your only way of catching the Pokémon; Gyarados is far from rare in the world of Scarlet & Violet.

Nonetheless, it’s a way fans who are into the more competitive aspects of the franchise can show off their love of Pokémon battling.

Don’t forget, you have until 30 June to use the aforementioned code. After that, it’ll be gone for good.
