Pokemon Sword and Shield players will soon have a chance to claim two free mythical Pokemon. To celebrate the upcoming international release of the series’ latest animated film, Pokemon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, the Pokemon Company is giving away a free Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi for Sword and Shield next month.

The free Pokemon will be distributed via a download code, which will be included in October’s Pokemon Trainer Club newsletter. To receive the code, you need to sign up for the newsletter on the official Pokemon website and opt in to email marketing by Sept. 25.

The newsletter containing the download code will be sent out on Oct. 7. Both Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi play a prominent role in Secrets of the Jungle and don’t normally appear in Sword and Shield, so you won’t want to miss your chance to get them. You can see more details about each Pokemon below.
