How do I get Zarude code?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

To obtain a Zarude code for Pokémon Sword and Shield, there are a few methods you can try. Keep in mind that these codes are often time-limited and can vary depending on your region or the event being held. Here are some ways to get a Zarude code:

1. Official Pokémon Events: The most common way to receive a Zarude code is by participating in official Pokémon events. These events may be held online or at specific locations such as retail stores or Pokémon Centers. Keep an eye on official Pokémon announcements, social media channels, and newsletters for information about these events.

2. Online Giveaways: Occasionally, Pokémon content creators, fansites, or official Pokémon websites may hold giveaways where you can win a Zarude code. These giveaways typically require you to complete certain tasks, such as following social media accounts, sharing content, or answering trivia questions. Stay active in the Pokémon community and keep an eye out for these opportunities.

3. Trading or Gifting: If you have friends or acquaintances who have obtained multiple Zarude codes, you can try asking them if they are willing to trade or gift you a code. This method relies on having a network of Pokémon players who are willing to help each other out. Online forums, social media groups, and Pokémon trading communities can be helpful in finding potential traders.

4. Code Generators or Websites: While it’s important to exercise caution when using third-party websites, there are some platforms that claim to generate Zarude codes. However, it’s important to note that using these generators is often against the terms of service set by the Pokémon Company, and there is a risk of getting banned from online services. It is recommended to avoid using these methods to obtain Zarude codes.

When you finally obtain a Zarude code, follow these steps to redeem it in Pokémon Sword or Shield:

1. Load up your Pokémon Sword or Shield game on your Nintendo Switch console.

2. From the main menu, press the X button to access the game menu.

3. In the game menu, select “Mystery Gift” from the options. It is represented by a pink present icon.

4. In the Mystery Gift menu, choose the “Get a Mystery Gift” option.

5. Select the “Get with Code/Password” option.

6. Enter the Zarude code you have obtained using the on-screen keyboard.

7. Once you have entered the code, the game will connect to the internet and verify the code. If the code is valid, you will receive the Zarude Pokémon.

8. After receiving the Zarude, make sure to save your game progress.

Remember, codes for Zarude are often time-limited, so it’s important to act promptly when you have the opportunity to obtain one.
