As in the last generation of Pokémon, we can also receive secret gifts in Crimson & Crimson. However, this does not work automatically, we must actively require it. In this article, we summarized how it works in the ninth generation and what secret gifts there have been so far.

How to Get Mystery Gifts in Crimson & Crimson

What are secret gifts? Secret Gifts are items or Pokémon that you can claim for free over time. The prerequisites and actions associated with this can be varied. Sometimes you only need one code, sometimes other requirements apply.

You don’t need the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service for Secret Gifts, but you do need an internet connection or you won’t be able to receive anything. Also, the feature must first be unlocked in-game, but this happens very early.

To request a Mystery Gift, you need to do the following in Crimson & Crimson:

1. Menu (X key)
2. PokePortal
3. secret gift
4. Receive a gift (depends on the method of receipt)
   • Check the secret gift
   • Received via Internet
