Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s newest Mystery Gift offers a starter Pokemon you can’t catch anywhere else.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players who didn’t opt for Quaxly as their partner in Game Freak’s most recent adventure can pick one up as aMystery Gift. The adorable little duckling is a fan-favoritewater-type Pokemondespite being relatively new.
WhileQuaxly and its evolutionsare often considered the weakest ofPaldea’s starter Pokemoncohort, it’s still well worth picking up to helpfill out your Pokedex. It also offers a potential breeding partner for a Quaxly farm.
The reason this particular Mystery Gift is so exciting is because Quaxly can be relatively hard to obtain in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. The Indigo Disk DLC added the ability tocatch every starter Pokemonfrom the previous eight generations but not their Paldean counterparts.
This particular Quaxly is based on the one that Dot from the Pokemon Horizons anime chose as her partner. As part of a series of tie-ins with the anime, this Scarlet & Violet Mystery Gift will also come with the special Partner Ribbon.
Players can also get a Sprigatito based on Liko’s partner Pokemon who features prominently in the anime. A betting trainer would wager that Roy’s Fuecoco might appear as a Mystery Gift later in the year.
Snapping these up would be the easiest way to get one of each Paldean starter Pokemon. It also helps that they have a special connection with the anime for fans of the series.
