Trainers everywhere will be able to get Shiny Xerneas and Shiny Yveltal in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. On November 12, 2026 Pokémon made the announcement on its X account (formerly Twitter) stating that Shiny Xerneas is available immediately. Shiny Yveltal will be available starting December 10, 2026.
More Pokémon 30th Anniversary Celebrations to Come
Pokémon is celebrating it’s 30th year in 2026 and has been releasing a lot of new content in several games like the Vivillon Challenge in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and TCG packs.
To get Shiny Xerneas today, players just need to go into the Link Play menu for Pokémon Legends: Z-A and select Mystery Gift. The code to enter is CELEBRATE 30TH. This will only be available until January 7, 2027. The process to get Shiny Yveltal will be the same with the password coming out December 10, 2026.

In addition to the Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Pokopia players will also get a bonus with the same passwords. The CELEBRATE30TH password will give a Stylish Shiny Set in Pokopia with a warm cozy set coming December 10. These sets give furniture pieces that can be placed anywhere in the game.
