It's likely you're thinking of something else. To help me understand what you mean, please tell me:
* Which Pokémon game are you playing? (e.g. Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Pokémon GO, Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, etc.)
* What specifically do you want to activate? Are you trying to access a feature or unlock something?
Once I have more information, I can help you!
