There's a new Mystery Gift available in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and it's a Starter you may not have chosen at the beginning of your Paldean adventure: Quaxly.

Until November 30th, you can claim a free Quaxly through Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Mystery Gift using the code D0T1STPARTNER. All you have to do is connect to the internet, go to the Mystery Gift section of the Poké Portal, and enter that special code. The cute little duck is based on Dot’s Quaxly, which was featured in the Pokémon Horizons anime, meaning it comes equipped with the special Partner Ribbon as a bonus.

This Mystery Gift is useful for anyone who didn’t choose the Water-type Starter to accompany them on their Scarlet and Violet adventure, especially since there is no way to catch the Paldean Starters. All other Starters from previous generations can be encountered and caught in The Indigo Disk DLC, but unfortunately that is not the case for Quaxly, Sprigatito, and Fuecoco. The only way to obtain them is to choose one as your Starter, trade for the other two, or wait for special distributions like this one.

For example, I started with Sprigatito and got a Fuecoco from a random trade, but I was missing Quaxly and its evolutions, Quaxwell and Quaquaval. The thing about the Quaxly line is that it is perhaps the weakest of the three Paldean Starters, with Meowscarada being used in the early competitive meta and Skeledirge being a strong Tera Raid counter. For these reasons, many players, like me, might still be missing Quaxly from their collection. Thanks to this Mystery Gift, I can now finally say that I have all of the Paldean Starters. Sure, you may have chosen Quaxly as your Starter or received one from a fellow player, but if not, this opportunity will bring you one step closer to completing your Pokédex.
