How to obtain all the Gen 4/5 mystery gifts?
My sister wants me to ask for her
She finally realized she can do the DNS thing to get the Mystery gifts and she wants to know what all of them are, how to get them, and all that fun stuff. If possible the DNS codes for them would be n I c e

This is very easy and requires no mods, thanks toa flaw with how the DS tries to confirm that it is talking to a real Nintendo server. You simply need to change your console’s internet connection settings to point to a custom DNS server, which will direct your console onto Wiimmfi’s server.
This answer explains how. Follow the instructions carefully, as Gen 4 and Gen 5 each default to different interfaces for their connection settings (and DS, DSi, and 3DS each work differently).
Navigation:Gen 4,Gen 5
To use the internet in Gen 4 games, you need a wireless access point running on the2.4 GHz band with compatible security settings (WEP or unsecured). This can present an issue, as many modern Wi-Fi connections are 5 GHz by default and don’t support WEP (which is an outdated, unsecure protocol).
The easiest way around this is to hotspot your phone with no security and 2.4 GHz compatibility turned on. You should use the “hide network” feature so other people won’t see your SSID. Most smartphones have this functionality; if you don’t have one that does it, you can set an unsecured Wi-Fi connection with your router and whitelist your console’s MAC address (which you can find in its internet settings).
Once you have set up a connection, you need to configure your console to use it. For Gen 4 games, this must be done with the Nintendo DS connection setup utility, which looks like this:
You can access this menu in-game by pressing “Nintendo WFC Settings” in the main menu after the title screen. This is the easiest and most foolproof approach. However, on DSi and 3DS, you can also access the same settings through your system settings:
Make sure that you are NOT using connection slots 4 to 6 on DSi and you are NOT changing the normal system settings on 3DS. If you have problems, open the menu through your game.
When you have the correct menu open, select any one of the three connection slots. The most foolproof approach is to start with a fresh connection slot, so erase one of the configs if they’re all full.
When you have a fresh connection open, press “Manual Setup”. Now, follow the steps:
You may need to try a couple times before the DS is given a local IP address. If it persistently doesn’t work, troubleshoot withWiimmfi’s errorcode lookup.
Mystery Gift is an option on the main menu after the title screen of your Pokemon game. In HGSS, it unlocks after you get the Pokedex. In DPPt, it unlocks after you enter a password with a TV producer on the third floor of Jubilife TV in Jubilife City. In English, the required answers are 1) “EVERYONE HAPPY” and 2) “Wi-Fi CONNECTION”. For other languages,check Bulbapedia.
When you have the Mystery Gift screen open, choose the option that says to receive a gift via Nintendo WFC Connection. After a few seconds, the game will offer one Mystery Gift for you to obtain. If you try Mystery Gift multiple times, the game will offer different gifts. You can be offered the same gift multiple times, but you cannot receive it twice. It can be tedious to get the precise gift you want.
The most complete list of available gifts is onthis shacknews.com article. Beware that this article contains misinformation in its other sections (yes, you can use Wiimmfi on a DSi). Not every gift ever distributed is on offer, but the popular ones are.
Gen 5 Pokemon games are considered “DSi Enhanced” games, which means they can use modern protocols to access the internet. All you need is a 2.4 GHz connection, which most likely won’t require a shonky hotspot setup like Gen 4. WPA2 (the standard security protocol) will work. The only catch is the original DS line of consoles doesn’t support this, so if you don’t have DSi or 3DS, you’ll need to use WEP/unsecured.
If the console persistently cannot find your access point, then it is probably because it is 5 GHz.
Gen 5 games are capable of using the Advanced Setup connections on the DSi and the normal (non-ancient) connection settings on the 3DS. In fact, theydefaultto using these settings, and will only fall back on the original DS settings when forced to. Here’s how to access the settings:
If you’re on a DSi or 3DS, Gen 5 won’t let you access internet settings through the in-game menu, so open them using your system settings instead.
Open one of the three connections (remember: connection 4, 5, or 6 on DSi) and do a manual setup. Then, follow the steps, similar to how it was described for Gen 4:
You may need to try a couple times before the console is given an IP address. If it persistently doesn’t work, troubleshoot withWiimmfi’s errorcode lookup.
In Gen 5, Mystery Gift is enabled from the beginning of the game. Like described for Gen 4, choose to receive a gift over Nintendo WFC. The process is much the same: you are offered one gift at a time, can be offered the same gift multiple times, but cannot get the same gift multiple times. Refer to the list onthis articlefor a mostly-accurate list of available gifts.
If the game keeps saying that Nintendo WFC has been discontinued, it’s talking to Nintendo’s server, which means you didn’t configure the settings properly. Go over the steps and make sure you put the settings in the right spot. If you want to use the ancient DS Wi-Fi config on DSi or 3DS for Gen 5, then you need to make sure there are no working connections in the other (more modern) configuration area.

First off, this is possible on the Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, and 2DS XL for both generation 4 and 5, as well as the Nintendo DS and DS Lite for Generation 4. Nintendo DSi does not work for this, unfortunatelyOk, I’ll start with the easy one.Gen 5 (BWB2W2)To begin, have internet connection on your DS.Go to “Change Settings” and get to “DNS”. Select the option tonotauto obtain DNS. Make the primary DNS164.132.44.106.Leave the secondary DNS as all zeroes. Now, go to the Mystery Gift on your game and you can get mystery gifts. It will select a random one, and you can’t get the same twice. The following arewhat you can get:
