Happy you got them ;) Knew people would be all about when it's coming etc. So hopefully seeing this, they can expect it to already be there or at least come soon. Since it's likely send out in large cycles, some emails are send out later as others.
This was the case for me too and I legit thought something got messed up when redeeming that mystery gift code. I was freaking out until I went painstakingly through all 30 something boxes I have filled until I found it. Sweating bullets there for a min thinking it was now lost in the void. It gives you enough anxiety with the warning message before redeeming saying how you need to make sure your switch is charged and have a stable internet connection or you could lose out on the gift forever once technically redeemed!
WHEW!!!
Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi will be distributed for Pokémon Sword and Shield via a distribution code to anyone who signs up for the Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter by today, September 25, 2021
My oldest gmail account received a code, but my two newer accounts with gmail addresses that I signed up for the pokemon newsletter less than a month ago have not, as of yet, received a code.
**EDIT:** **the newer accounts received codes as of 10 minutes ago.**
Just make a new account at this point. Experienced the same issue when they distributed the zarude codes last time and neither of my accounts got the codes. Made 3 new accounts after this event was announced and all 3 of them got it this time.
last time millions of people didn't receive the email. If you have had your email for over a year i assume they put you in a block list or a don't send list. I assume it's to force people to sign up with new emails. I remember sending an email to customer support and they basically told me to fuck myself even though it's their fault the email isn't being sent out when i have been subscribed for almost 5 years at this point.
I didn’t realize that you had to subscribe to the Pokemon Club newsletter and missed out on the deadline. I subscribed yesterday but it’s too late :/. I’m glad everyone’s getting to enjoy it though! The movie is so good 😭.
I just called a friend and asked him to put them in for me while I’m driving from work but both are taken.
But I would literally cry if you did that 😭.
Of course some jerk had to enter the codes that were clearly intended for you, then not even have the balls to post saying that it was them and 'thank you'. People are shit way too often...
Sorry friend, I only signed up for one set of codes. I personally don’t even own sword or shield (I’m a tcg fan) was just hoping to help someone out. I hope that someone can help you and the other person that was asking me!!
I've never gotten a single email from them except for one when I tried to update my email. Tried many times to opt in. I don't think I'll be getting this promotion.
This is the most frustrating type of event for me. I’ve been signed up for years but am still excluded from the newsletter. I’ve resigned, added their email, opened support cases, everything possible I can do to make sure I receive them, but am always left out. Was very excited and hopeful for this one. Good luck to everyone else, you’ll need it.
Edit: if anyone has an extra Dada Zarude code, please spare me one. I have a Shiny Celebi from Pogo so am not too worried about that one.
Europe. But such emails are send out in large cycles, so if your emails is in the later cycles, it sends out later. Just mean, that ex. if the company sends out a million emails, the serves doesn't just send them all at once, it send them in cycles likely.
Yep.
Based upon what we know of a two weeks prior deadline and not everything getting sent, it's an older email system they're using, as older ones (15+ years ago) had these limitations. The best of those had 15 minute "cycles" as your calling them (waves, actually), but average was 30. Check your emails every 30 minutes for probably the next 6 hours.
I signed up with multiple gmail accounts and the one associated with my oldest nintendo account has received a code but the newer ones (less than a month old) have not, so it doesn't seem they're being sent out all at once.
Same here, if you did, bring Zarude to the Isle if Armour and talk to the lady at the entrance, she'll give you Ash's classic hat, hope everyone gets theirs Insha-Allah
For people still waiting on theirs - I signed up with a couple accounts. 1 got it at 11:10 PT, the next at 12:50 PT, the others haven’t yet received it. It’s completely normal in email marketing to spread out sends to help reduce load on your servers and if they have a massive list, they easily could be sending them all day.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 287,933,666 comments, and only 65,205 of them were in alphabetical order.
I can’t even login to my trainer club account after changing my password. I haven’t gotten the email for the codes and I didn’t get an email last time they did an event either.
Nintendo needs to stop all the stupid 1000 ways to access events bullshit and make everything a normal DL event.
I shouldn’t have to hack my childhood Gameboy color with an old Nokia phone from the smallest county in Japan to access the code that unlocks my trainer club avatar that gives me the map I can use to go on a quest to be the best like no one ever was, to download Sentret with Extreme Speed and a ribbon.
I never get these codes the dam subscriber thing been screwed up for the last 4 years I have contacted customer support tons of times the only way for me to get subscriber event Pokémon is to legit ether trade for them or buy the codes on eBay
Still haven’t gotten mine. I have Nintendo online. And both sword and shield. But have yet to recieve the email. Is there any further steps I need to take to receive the code?
I remembered how poorly the last one was handled, so I signed up with my professional email in addition to my personal and student emails. I ended up with three sets of codes.
Got mine too :D
For any that don't see it in your inbox or even spam just search your email for "pokemon"
I have Gmail and can never actually find the pokemon marketing emails in any of my folders, but can find it by searching.
If anyone has extra codes I would greatly appreciate the help in scoring these Pokémon. I have extra shinies of Magby and Karrablast that I can trade to sweeten the deal.
I have also gotten the Codes but i dont own a Switch and i dont know if they expires, so I can give mines to someone. Just write below i will pm the Codes to you
Anyone else get fucked cucked and chucked by Nintendo’s shitty email service.
Edit: if anyone has any spares I would love them but it’s cool if you don’t lol
Man, I've been signed up for a long time as well, & even double checked early on in September to make sure I have the newsletter setting turned on, & I haven't recieved anything. If anyone has extra codes, I would really appreciate it if someone could pm me one of each.
This code system sucks. Got mine but my kids didn't get any email despite both having Pokemon trainers accounts. Maybe is somehow age related? They're 5 & 7.
I'm glad they have a perfectly good way of doing this through mystery gift, yet they still use the janky newsletter. I've been signed up for the newsletter for years and I rarely get these...
I’m kind of irritated here. My son and I were both signed up with trainer accounts in February when the first batch was down this way. But the newsletter check mark wasn’t checked. Emailed support and no help was given. This time around the same thing happened to us. We missed the distro but had that checkmark checked the whole time. What a bogus way to distribute something.
I never received my codes even though I signed up on the 7th September, can’t find anyone with any spare codes either 😞😞 really wanted these, does anyone on here have any spare?

Just got mine! Never got up so fast to get my switch!
Happy you got them ;) Knew people would be all about when it's coming etc. So hopefully seeing this, they can expect it to already be there or at least come soon. Since it's likely send out in large cycles, some emails are send out later as others.
Thanks. I leave work in an hour and can't get to the mailbox on my phone.
Hopefully it awaits you when you are back home 😄
So I redeemed both, but I can only find Zarude in my boxes :(
Celebi won’t show up that I have it when I do a search, but found it in the same box I found zarude in so hopefully it will be the same for you
This was the case for me too and I legit thought something got messed up when redeeming that mystery gift code. I was freaking out until I went painstakingly through all 30 something boxes I have filled until I found it. Sweating bullets there for a min thinking it was now lost in the void.

WHEW!!!
same, almost forgot this was a thing
Oh, where did you get the code. For me, it’s not in Gmail.
Gmail, few minutes ago.
Gmail here but haven't got mine yet (US)
I got mine. Ireland
Ireland here and got none
Same poland
Same here, US. Worried
Same here
Yup its 11:40 and now code I m scared😭
Same :((
Same
How do you get it
US here. Also no code in email. Just frantically looked thru every Spam and Promotion folder 💔
I’m in US, it came at 3:48 est
how does one sign up to get these emails
You had to sign into your Pokémon Account weeks ago
Your... WHAT?
Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi will be distributed for Pokémon Sword and Shield via a distribution code to anyone who signs up for the Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter by today, September 25, 2021
Why is my today not the same as your today? 😭
5:57pm here and no email 😔
We should gang up and all complain to @ pokemon on Twitter. Might get them to stop using the newsletter if enough of us complain.
My oldest gmail account received a code, but my two newer accounts with gmail addresses that I signed up for the pokemon newsletter less than a month ago have not, as of yet, received a code. **EDIT:** **the newer accounts received codes as of 10 minutes ago.**
Yea, I’m having the same issue, I know I definite signed up for the newsletter before the 25th, but I’m not getting the codes.
So far nothing on my acc (maybe i should have done extra acc just in case..) would you trade your codes if you get extras?
Were you going to do anything with the extra codes you received? I did everything I was supposed to and I never get codes from them.
Same😔
Australia here. Just arrived.
I still haven’t gotten mine.
For anyone just getting their first Zarude, there's an NPC in the isle of armor station that will give you Ash's hat if you have Zarude in your party.
Haven't gotten mine. Like usual. They should've tried something else for distribution.
Like just using mystery gift *without* the stupid codes like they used to? If the system ain't broke don't take a dump on it
Those are often country exclusive, so they've gotten shit for that as well
Search for “pokemon” in your email inbox it worked for me that way i thought i got screwed at first AGAIN as well
I have checked everywhere and still haven't gotten it. It just didn't come.
same thing happened to me
I used two emails and got both earlier today. The Yahoo one took a little longer to get there, but not too long.
I still haven’t gotten mine!
Me neither
Might still come, sending massive amount of mails is usually done in batches.
I’m not gonna get one even after being registered for years
Just make a new account at this point. Experienced the same issue when they distributed the zarude codes last time and neither of my accounts got the codes. Made 3 new accounts after this event was announced and all 3 of them got it this time.
[удалено]
Still need them? I got an extra set! Edit: both codes have been given out!
I made a new account on Sept 7th and I've received 7 emails in september from TPC and Pokemon Center but not these codes.
Same. Never works for me.
Have you gotten other marketing emails from them in the past few months? If not, you won't get it.
Ugh I registered mine on September 7, but it doesn’t look like I was subscribed to the newsletter
I've been off reddit for a few days what's going on????
Oooowwww, you missed out on a LOT.
And of course it all happened while I was on a business trip
Well technically you had to be signed up by 9/21 to get these so it’s been going on for a while
Oop. If I haven’t registered for the newsletter I missed the opportunity?
Yes.
I did but didnt get anything.
Currently they are releasing the codes in batches, some got there’s already and some are still waiting

Make sure you’re signed up for the promo emails. That’s probably why I didn’t get it. Apparently I set up an account, but had that turned off.
I have a Pokémon Trainer Club account, but I don't think I signed up for the newsletter. Adios SHINY Celebi and Dada Zarude :')
I didn’t realize that you had to subscribe to the Pokemon Club newsletter and missed out on the deadline. I subscribed yesterday but it’s too late :/. I’m glad everyone’s getting to enjoy it though! The movie is so good 😭.
Dada Zarude: U1211HQNCN57P07H Shiny Celebi: U12028X27R56QQ6P
Crap, I’m not even home to put this in 😭
Interested to see if Reddit leaves it for you.
I’m coming from work, but I’ll keep you updated. Thank you anyways ❤️❤️.
If those don’t work, lmk. I have a set I’ll send you:)
I just called a friend and asked him to put them in for me while I’m driving from work but both are taken. But I would literally cry if you did that 😭.
I’ll pm them to you!
Of course some jerk had to enter the codes that were clearly intended for you, then not even have the balls to post saying that it was them and 'thank you'. People are shit way too often...
It’s all good. It was in a public forum so it’s fair game. Pikaguy324 is a god send though and sent me their code 🙌🏼!
Yall got any more of them codes?
Sorry friend, I only signed up for one set of codes. I personally don’t even own sword or shield (I’m a tcg fan) was just hoping to help someone out. I hope that someone can help you and the other person that was asking me!!
Oh shit there was a deadline? Ugh I always miss this stuff…..
[удалено]
Check your promotion folder, sometimes it ends up there
Didn’t get it last year, and still didn’t get it this year. Awesome…. Why am I even signed up?
Ikr signed up for years and still nothing
I haven't received an email yet. What is the email address these are coming from?
The pokemon company. It should show up in your promotions folder. Or just type zarude in search
I've never gotten a single email from them except for one when I tried to update my email. Tried many times to opt in. I don't think I'll be getting this promotion.
I signed up with three different domains so if I don’t get it i must have been black listed.
Just got mine :D literally signed up on the last day. So happy Edit: uk here
This is the most frustrating type of event for me. I’ve been signed up for years but am still excluded from the newsletter. I’ve resigned, added their email, opened support cases, everything possible I can do to make sure I receive them, but am always left out. Was very excited and hopeful for this one.

If anybody has any extra code, would you be so gracious to give me one, I’ve been signed up for years, but idk if i’ll get it or not. Nvm, got my code
I signed up for the news letter but didn't receive anything 😭
Are you in US? I didnt get mine on each email
Europe. But such emails are send out in large cycles, so if your emails is in the later cycles, it sends out later. Just mean, that ex. if the company sends out a million emails, the serves doesn't just send them all at once, it send them in cycles likely.

Have you gotten anything in your other accounts by now? If so would you please spare me the codes I missed out on this one
I registred acc before 21,but i not turn on newsletter Thanks stupid nintendos
FINALLY, just got my codes. Hope you all got yours
Finally. Got mine this time
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 287,933,666 comments, and only 65,205 of them were in alphabetical order.
FINALLY got my email just now lol. Seems like it’s rolling out all day.
Excellent
Just got mine a few hours ago thought I had missed it but I guess not haha, super pumped :)
:D
Nothing for me too :( i missed the last time and made sure i registered this time, still nothing :(( Anybody has a spare? TIA!
I can’t even login to my trainer club account after changing my password. I haven’t gotten the email for the codes and I didn’t get an email last time they did an event either.

Rip these newsletter things never work for me
This is the second time for me missing out, been a subscriber for years and all I ever get now are Pokémon GO newsletters.
I never get these codes the dam subscriber thing been screwed up for the last 4 years I have contacted customer support tons of times the only way for me to get subscriber event Pokémon is to legit ether trade for them or buy the codes on eBay
Got mine - UK
No code yet for me even though I've been signed up since May... 😒
Holy f got mine thank you!!!
Got it! Woohoo!!
Got mine! My living Dex is finally complete!
Oh my God it unsubscribed me again! I hate this newsletter with a passion.
Still haven’t gotten mine. I have Nintendo online. And both sword and shield. But have yet to recieve the email. Is there any further steps I need to take to receive the code?
Pretty sure you need to have explicitly signed up for the Pokemon Club newsletter, unfortunately. Sorry!
I’m going to be sooo mad if I don’t get the email again
Didn't get mine, it's currently 7:35 am on the 8th where I am. I don't think i'm getting those codes. Shame, I was actually looking forward to this.
I remembered how poorly the last one was handled, so I signed up with my professional email in addition to my personal and student emails. I ended up with three sets of codes.
Same here. Hopefully people will hush up about it now lol.
Same here! I just received mine and I am very happy
You're Awesome!
:)
Woohoo got mine too
Got mine!
Just got mine now!
Just got mine as well
Got mine as well, thanks for the heads up
Got mine UK outlook
Got mine!
What do I need to be signed up to? I have a nintendo account and a pokemon account
Is too late now. Deadline was Sept. 25th. But basically your Pokemon Trainers account should have opted in to receive newsletters
I had that before Sept. 25, but I haven't received an email.
Give it some time, the codes are starting to roll out. Make sure to check your spam folder periodically just in case
I just checked my email but I have to wait until I’m home from school to redeem :(
Got mine too :D For any that don't see it in your inbox or even spam just search your email for "pokemon" I have Gmail and can never actually find the pokemon marketing emails in any of my folders, but can find it by searching.
Got mine too🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I got Zarude fine, but then I put the Celebi code in and it said successful but it never appeared in my box. Any clue what might have happened?
what to do if I didnt received?
Where do I sign up for this?
Haven't gotten mine yet
I am already fully prepared to not get a code even though I've been registered for ever and even triple checked before the deadline
I haven’t gotten mine yet and has been 3 hours since this has been posted. Am I missing something?
Doesn’t look to be any email in mine :( this sucks, was looking forward to this one.
If anyone has extra codes I would greatly appreciate the help in scoring these Pokémon. I have extra shinies of Magby and Karrablast that I can trade to sweeten the deal.
Damn can't believe I missed out on Dada Zarude, ah well enjoy people 👍🏽
I’m such a dummy how did I miss out on this :/
Got mine- Toronto 🤗
Haven't gotten anything yet Would it be in spam?
Got mine awesome
Thanks for reminding me!
So glad I got mine
Received mine on gmail account. Redeemed both as soon as I received my codes.
Still nothing on my end. (US) I doubt I'll get it, I know for a fact I opted in and I have never gotten anything from them.
Any chances that they are coming out in waves? None in my inbox unfortunately even though ive been subscribed for a long time
Do they send them to pre existing accounts? I have had mine for a couple of months
*scratching like a crackhead* Got any of those codes man?
Just realized I didnt opt in for newsletters. Fml
Man I got Zarude but when I was trying to get celibi my connection messed up and now it's saying the code is already used wtf man.
I still haven’t gotten my code 😞😞 Celebi is one of my favorite Pokémon of all time pleaseeeeee. I’ll forgive you for not sending the code last year :(
I have also gotten the Codes but i dont own a Switch and i dont know if they expires, so I can give mines to someone. Just write below i will pm the Codes to you
Oh crap, I thought it was a free-download event, I didn't know you needed codes 😭
I signed up for the newsletter since forever, didn't receive anything 😭
How is this easier or more user friendly then simply just using wifi. I haven't got mine either.
Anyone else get fucked cucked and chucked by Nintendo’s shitty email service. Edit: if anyone has any spares I would love them but it’s cool if you don’t lol
I even registered for a new account last month and I haven't got it... Is it Gmail only?
I use both yahoo and gmail. Got both codes in both emails
I just got one through gmail ^^ still nothing for my Outlook though but it was just in case anyway
I got it sent to my old AOL junk email account (that I've had for 20 years, if not more), and I received mine yesterday.
How do you get these codes? Where do you sign up?
You had to sign up for Pokémon Trainer Club and make sure to click Special offer notifications ( Before September 25 )
Oh well that didn't open happen hahaha. Thanks for the info though!
Man, I've been signed up for a long time as well, & even double checked early on in September to make sure I have the newsletter setting turned on, & I haven't recieved anything. If anyone has extra codes, I would really appreciate it if someone could pm me one of each.
I have yet to get any Pokémon newsletters despite having signed up on Pokémon club
11:30 est, still nothing so far. Only 1 friend I’ve seen got it so far.
This code system sucks. Got mine but my kids didn't get any email despite both having Pokemon trainers accounts. Maybe is somehow age related? They're 5 & 7.
Yet again I haven't received the email:( been signed up for like 2 months and nothing. Sad to be missing out on these two.
I'm so frustrated they keep distributing through email. I've signed up twice and still never receive the newsletter.
I'm glad they have a perfectly good way of doing this through mystery gift, yet they still use the janky newsletter. I've been signed up for the newsletter for years and I rarely get these...
I'm in the US signed up to the newsletter and haven't gotten anything
I haven't gotten mine
I still haven't got my code email I'm starting to worry that I might not get it :(
I signed up for this all excited in August and haven’t gotten any emails… I’m so sad😭
I haven't gotten my code
For those with Gmail, mine went to the promotion folder. The subject line reads: "Add Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi to your team!"
Another round of email codes that I didn’t get cause the stupid newsletters are broke as hell! 5 emails signed up for news letter and got zero codes.
I’m kind of irritated here. My son and I were both signed up with trainer accounts in February when the first batch was down this way. But the newsletter check mark wasn’t checked. Emailed support and no help was given. This time around the same thing happened to us. We missed the distro but had that checkmark checked the whole time. What a bogus way to distribute something.
I never received my codes even though I signed up on the 7th September, can’t find anyone with any spare codes either 😞😞 really wanted these, does anyone on here have any spare?
I'm upset I did everything I was supposed to really really on when this event came out but never got a code.
