Zinc [Legends: Z-A]

Your Link Trade code appears the moment you pay. Open Poke Portal → Link Trade in your game, enter the code, and the Vending Machine meets you there and trades it over.

Usually under two minutes from checkout, any hour of the day — the Vending Machine runs the trade, not a person.

Your game, an internet connection, and a Nintendo Switch Online membership — the same one you use for online play. No account with us required.

Yes. Pick Custom Build (+$0.25) and choose the nickname, level, shiny, nature, ability, gender, Tera type, IVs, EVs, the four moves, the held item and the Poké Ball. If a combination can’t legally exist together, the Machine adjusts the minimum needed and tells you exactly what changed.

You don’t need one — Custom Builds work fine without it. Adding your Secret ID just makes the Pokémon read as truly yours in-game. It isn’t shown anywhere obvious, so the Vending Machine finds it for you: make any small purchase first (an item works), trade with the Machine, and your SID appears in the trade messages on the site. Use it on your next Custom Build.

One chosen to match the Pokémon’s colours. If you want a specific ball — Apricorn, Beast, Safari, any legal one — use a Custom Build and pick it yourself.

Only the free ones. The Pokémon we hand out in random surprise trades carry one of our short domains as a nickname — that’s how people find us. Anything you buy arrives with its ordinary name, and on a Custom Build you can set the nickname yourself.

The cheap way in. Mystery Pokémon are always shiny (unless the species is shiny-locked) and 6IV, with a random moveset, ability and held item, at a level that suits the evolution stage. Mystery Eggs are always shiny and 6IV, and hatch in-game.

Pop your email in on the site and the coupon arrives by email — check your spam folder, that’s the step most people miss. Add the Mystery Egg to your cart, apply the coupon at checkout, and the total drops to $0. Your Link Trade code is on the confirmation page, same as any other order.

Add the HOME Compatible option (+$3) and yours is built and verified so Pokémon HOME accepts it, tested on real consoles. Without the option many still transfer, but we only promise HOME for HOME Compatible builds — and if one won’t transfer, contact us with your order number and we’ll replace or refund it.
