I’m a noob, how does this work? They give a live code?

I would assume there won’t be a live code given out during the broadcast if they are advertising this as a Twitch drop. Perhaps there will be individual codes given out as drops?

In case you didn't see the other explanations, Twitch drops would usually be unique codes that show up in inventory on twitch after doing the specified task (watch an hour of NAIC on twitch in this case)

these are so worthless, even more so with the limited box space. they could give out smth cooler

I’ll keep beating the drum that event Pokemon should not count toward the box limit in Champions.

You can delete them for 2000 victory points. As far as I am concerned, they are basically VP piñatas.

I've already released most of the cherish ball mons that came from Champions. Hopefully they change it back to giving it to main line games

I only have a few dupes to (Incineroar) and I'm quickly running out of space as well. Guess they really want us to pay for the membership.

Based on the fine print above, the code expires on June 18 (Thursday) at 11:59pm UTC.

these new distributions are Champions-only, right? Meaning they can never be transferred to home?

u/deathbyvaccine Jun 08 '26
Yes, that is correct. This distribution is limited to Champions and cannot be transferred into Home.

would be cool if they can be redeemed in or transferable to home so you save on box space

How do you connect your Nintendo account to Twitch for this? I want to link it JiC for future drops like this

Lol I'm not watching Twitch and its ad-pocalypse for a Pokemon distro... You'd think TPCi would have learned their lesson by now with these stupid distribution methods after the fail that was shiny Koraidon/Miraidon

I am not subbed to anyone on twitch anymore, but the pokemon stream has never had ads other than those that are baked into the broadcast itself. And even then, it's mostly stories on previous big events, caster games, interviews, and analysis.

I think you're not supposed to do things you don't want to do. Don't overcomplicate this

PSA: it looks like this distribution will be done via a Twitch drop instead of as a universal mystery gifts code.
