Your Pokémon will be either be added to your current team (if you have less than six Pokémon on hand) or directly to your Pokémon PC box.
Things to remember about the gift Pokémon	You can only receive one of each Pokémon per ticket, though it is possible to obtain multiple "Dada Zarude" on the same save file by seeing the film multiple times. These gift Pokémon cannot be downloaded to Pokémon Home or any Pocket Monsters series games other than the ones listed above. If you've modified your game using any sort of cheat devices then "Dada Zarude" may not download correctly. Additionally, using these devices may corrupt your save data and cause you to permanently lose all your game progress. The Zarude you receive is game data; it is not a physical item like a stuffed animal or a figurine.
Things to remember about the Serial Code	Your Nintendo Switch will need to be able to connect to the Internet in order to receive the serial code gift. Those who wish to receive the serial code gift Pokémon will need to have created a Nintendo Account. That account will then need to be linked to the user account used when playing Pocket Monsters Sword or Pocket Monsters Shield. Please make sure your game has been updated to the latest version. You will not be able to re-download your gift Pokémon if you use your serial codes on another game's save file, or if you download the gift Pokémon but then delete your save data. You will not be able to use your serial codes if the download period has passed. If you mistakenly input a serial code 10 times then you will be temporarily locked out from entering any more codes. Wait about six hours before trying again.
