Visit Pokémon Center Kagawa and imitate a Slowpoke for your free gift

The Pokémon Company has announced a special Mystery Gift distribution tied to the opening of Pokémon Center Kagawa. Starting October 24th through November 11th, 2025, visitors to any Pokémon Center in Japan will have a chance to receive a gift code for a mascot Slowpoke. The code can be redeemed either in Pokémon Legends: Z-A or via the Pokémon HOME mobile app.

What We Know

• The event celebrates the opening of Pokémon Center Kagawa.
• Consumers will need to imitate a Slowpoke—apparently to receive the code. The exact details of the imitation (voice, expression, etc.) are not fully specified.
• The code will be available from October 24th to November 11th, 2025.
• The gift is tied to Slowpoke, who is serving as the mascot for Kagawa Prefecture in this promotion.

What Is Still Unclear

• Whether each person visiting a Pokémon Center will get one code, or if there are other limits or conditions.
• Exactly how “imitating a Slowpoke” is judged by staff (what counts as acceptable imitation).
• Whether there will be versions of the code for Pokémon Legends: Z-A that differ in how they’re obtained (for example, some via HOME, some via in-store code).
• If this Slowpoke code will also appear in regions outside Japan. At this time, no reliable sources confirm international rollout.

Why This Matters

• Pokémon Center promotions that tie in local mascots, merch, and events are a longtime tradition—in Kagawa, Slowpoke is strongly associated with the region (Slowpoke being its prefectural Pokémon mascot).
• This will be one of the first Mystery Gift distributions for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and ties into the game’s promotional build-up.
• It emphasizes continued use of in-person events & physical Pokémon Centers as part of the Pokémon promotion strategy, not just online events.
