You can unlock the ability to receive Mystery Gifts at the TV station in Jubilife City, which can only be entered after getting the 1st badge and defeating the Galactic Grunts in a Double Battle north of the city.
On the 3rd floor of Jubilife TV, talk to the TV producer and answer his question regarding TV with “EVERYONE HAPPY WI-FI CONNECTION” to unlock the Mystery Gift feature. Selecting any of the other random options will give you stickers, so you can do that first before giving the correct answer.
After answering correctly, Mystery Gifts will be available in the start menu by pressing X.
Alternatively, you will unlock the Mystery Gifts option in the Menu automatically after defeating Maylene and getting the 3rd badge, regardless if you did the method listed above or not.

When you select the Mystery Gift option from the menu, you will have 2 choices of how to receive a Mystery Gift: Get via Internet and Get with Code/Password.
Mystery Gifts can be items or special Pokemon that are free to receive and download for a limited period. Once the period of the event is over, you will be unable to receive these items or Pokemon, unless a player who participated in the event is willing to trade them to you.
You can view the Mystery Gifts you've obtained by selecting Check Mystery Gifts.
