How to get Alpha Charizard for free in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Pokémon Legends Z-A players can pick up a surprise gift – an Alpha Charizard – for free for a limited time.

It appears that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have already started the Christmas celebrations ahead of the Mega Dimension DLC launch. Unlike the recently released Mewtwo, Alpha Charizard is quite easy to obtain as it’s part of a limited-time code.

How to obtain Alpha Charizard in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Alpha Charizard can be obtained with the help of a code as part of the Mystery Gift feature in Pokémon Legends Z-A. Like all previously released Mystery Gifts, the latest one also has an expiry period. Here’s the code for obtaining your free Alpha Charizard.

• B1G0006

The code is valid until Jan. 19, 2026, so make sure to redeem before it expires.

How to redeem a Mystery Gift code in Pokémon Legends Z-A

The process of redeeming the code for Alpha Pokémon is pretty much the same as all older codes.

• Hit X to open the main menu.
• Select Link Play.
• Go to Mystery Gift, and scroll down to choose Get with Code/Password.
• For the next step, you’ll need to ensure that your Switch/Switch 2 is connected to the Internet.
• Enter the Mystery Gift code and wait for the system to confirm your password.
• Head to your Pokémon Boxes to find your Alpha Charizard.

The code is available to all players for free, and you don’t need to own or access Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC to enjoy him. Only a few more hours are left, as of writing, for the DLC to go live worldwide. However, you can redeem the code mentioned above to start enjoying Charizard and get him ready for the upcoming quests.
