To celebrate Pokémon Day 2025, The Pokémon Company is bringing back the excitement with a special giveaway of a fan-favorite Pokémon, but it's not as simple as just firing up your Nintendo Switch or mobile device. Here's how you can snag a free Flying-Tera type Eevee in *Pokémon Scarlet* or *Violet*.
How To Get a Code for a Free Flying-Tera Type Eevee in Pokémon Scarlet or Violet
Back in the day, *Pokémon* used to host giveaways at major retailers, where fans could walk in and request a code for a special Pokémon. While this practice has become less common, Pokémon Day 2025 is reviving this nostalgic approach by offering a code for a Flying-Tera type Eevee. Here's a list of the participating major retailers and the countries where they're available:
| Retailer | Country |
| Best Buy | US |
| GameStop | US and Canada |
| Toys “R” Us | Canada |
| EB Games | Australia and New Zealand |
From February 7 to February 27, Pokémon enthusiasts can visit these retailers to pick up a code while supplies last. It's also the perfect opportunity to check out other Pokémon products, like the coveted Prismatic Evolutions TCG set.
How To Claim the Free Flying-Tera Type Eevee in Pokémon Scarlet or Violet
Once you've secured your code, it's time to head back home and claim your Eevee. Follow these steps to redeem your Pokémon Day 2025 code:
- Open *Pokémon Scarlet* or *Violet*.
- Navigate to the menu and select Poke Portal.
- Choose Mystery Gift and then click on Get with Code/Password.
- Enter the code and wait for your Pokémon to arrive in the game.
This Eevee comes with the special Flying Tera type, making it a powerful addition to your team for various raids. Additionally, its Original Trainer will be listed as POKEMONDAY25, a neat reminder of the event and how you acquired the code. Now, it's time to level up your Eevee and challenge the best the Paldea region has to offer.
And that's how you can get a free Flying-Tera type Eevee in *Pokémon Scarlet* or *Violet* through the Pokémon Day 2025 promotion. For more, check out our rankings of all the mainline *Pokémon* games from worst to best.
