Pokémon’s 30th anniversary is being celebrated in Lumiose City too. The Pokémon Company is now giving Pokémon Legends: Z-A players a 
Xerneas that is Shiny and level 100, using the code CELEBRATE30TH, valid until Thursday, January 7, 2027. And this is only the first half of the gift: its rival 
Yveltal, also Shiny, will follow with a second code starting on December 10.
The same code also works in Pokémon Pokopia, where it unlocks a furniture set. Here is everything you need to know so you do not miss either distribution.
Shiny Xerneas: details of the gift Pokémon
The Life Pokémon arrives ready for battle, with the same set attributes for every player. It joins your party, or your Boxes if your party is full, as soon as you enter the code.
- Pokémon: Shiny Xerneas
- Level: 100
- Nature: Modest (boosts Special Attack, ideal for its special moves)
- Ball: Cherish Ball
- Moves: Geomancy, Moonblast, Thunderbolt and Focus Blast
- Code: CELEBRATE30TH
- Availability: until Thursday, January 7, 2027
With Geomancy, its signature move that sharply raises Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed after a charging turn, this Pokémon is ready to use right away. Focus Blast lets it hit Steel-type Pokémon, which resist Moonblast, while Thunderbolt rounds out its offensive coverage.
How to enter the code in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
The process takes less than a minute. An internet connection is required to redeem the code.
- Open the game menu with the X Button.
- Go to the online play section, then Mystery Gift.
- Choose to receive a gift using a code or password.
- Enter CELEBRATE30TH and confirm: you will receive Shiny Xerneas.
If you have not yet claimed 
Vivillon with the Poké Ball Pattern, now is your chance: you can receive it via the internet from the same menu until February 26, 2027.
Shiny Yveltal and Pokopia furniture: more on December 10
A second code will be revealed on December 10, 2026. It will let you receive Shiny Yveltal in Pokémon Legends: Z-A from December 10, 2026, to February 4, 2027. Its attributes have not yet been detailed: we will update this article as soon as they are announced.
In Pokémon Pokopia, each of the two codes unlocks a furniture set:
- With CELEBRATE30TH, until January 7, 2027: a set of six elegant pieces of furniture, including a bed, a dressing table, a stool, a lace rug and a tea set.
- With the second code, from December 10, 2026, to February 4, 2027: a cosy furniture set including an antique-style chair, chest and table, a humidifier, a stone fireplace and ten stained-glass windows.
In Pokopia, enter codes at the PC in any Pokémon Center, in the item-receiving section, then Mystery Gift. Find all currently active codes in our guide to Pokopia Mystery Gift codes.
Key takeaways
Xerneas and Yveltal, the mascots of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, released in 2013, naturally return to the spotlight in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which takes place in Lumiose City, at the heart of the Kalos region. For the franchise’s 30th anniversary, the Legendary duo is being given away in Shiny form, a few weeks apart. Keep both dates in mind: before January 7, 2027 for Xerneas with the code CELEBRATE30TH, and from December 10 for Yveltal’s code.
