Pokémon Sword & Shield: How To Claim Ash’s Dragonite

The next member of Ash’s team is now available to download for free in Pokémon Sword and Shield, as Dragonite can now be claimed as a Mystery Gift. The Pokémon Company is giving away Ash’s team in Pokémon Sword and Shield, to celebrate his successes in the World Coronation Series, where he is currently facing some of the best trainers in the world. As of the time of writing, Ash is gearing up to fight Cynthia from the Sinnoh region, who is one of the most powerful trainers in the series.

The Pokémon anime usually involves Ash assembling a team from the region he is visiting, alongside his beloved Pikachu. In the new Pokémon Journeys season of the anime, Ash has a team of some of the best Pokémon from around the world. This includes some powerful Gen 1 Pokémon, including Dragonite, Gengar, and his Pikachu with its Gigantamax form. It really feels as if Ash has a chance of finally becoming the best, like no one ever was, thanks to a team that wouldn’t look out of place in an actual competitive Pokémon battle.

The Pokémon Company has revealed the next serial code that can be used to acquire a member of Ash’s team in Pokémon Sword and Shield. The code was also revealed on the official Serebii Twitter page. This time, it’s Ash’s Dragonite that can be downloaded in either game. The event distribution for Ash’s Dracovish has officially concluded, so people who want that Pokémon will have to trade with another player.

How To Acquire Ash’s Dragonite In Pokémon Sword & Shield

The process for acquiring Ash’s Dragonite is the same as acquiring Ash’s Dracovish in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. In order to download Ash’s Dragonite, the player needs to go to the Mystery Gift menu in either Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield, and go to the “Get with Code/Password” option. Once there, a text box will appear. The player needs to enter the code UM1N0KESH1N into the prompt. If entered correctly, the Dragonite will either appear in the player’s active party or in an empty space in their box.

Ash’s Dragonite is a level 80 Pokémon with the Inner Focus Ability, which protects it from flinching. The Dragonite knows Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Draco Meteor, and Hurricane, and has a jolly nature. Ash’s Dragonite can be downloaded right now, but players only have until September 6 to claim it. It will soon be joined by Ash’s Gengar in Pokémon Sword and Shield, which will be available on September 2.
