How to claim the gift
- Log in during the window: June 17, 2026 through September 2, 2026.
- Open the mailbox: the launch gift is delivered in game, not through this fan site.
- Claim all three pieces: Raichu, Raichunite X, and Raichunite Y belong together.
- Check M-B legality: owning the gift does not replace the need to check the active regulation.
What if you miss the claim window?
Treat September 2, 2026 as the practical deadline unless Pokémon announces a rerun or alternate distribution. If you care about early ranked testing, claim the gift close to launch instead of waiting for the last day.
How to think about Mega Raichu in early M-B
The gift is useful because it gives many players the same experiment on day one. Mega Raichu X points players toward Electric Terrain questions: which partners benefit, which opponents punish terrain reliance, and whether the format has enough grounded threats to make the field effect matter. Mega Raichu Y points in a different direction because No Guard can make risky accuracy lines more consistent.
None of that replaces a legality check. The right flow is to claim the gift, confirm what Regulation Set M-B allows, then test whether either Mega form fits your team. If the ruleset blocks a piece you wanted to use, keep the gift for casual testing and rebuild ranked plans around the confirmed eligible list. If both stones are usable, compare them as different team roles rather than assuming one is a direct upgrade over the other.
