Players who decide to pick up a copy of Pokémon Legends: Arceus early will be treated to a special gift, The Pokémon Company has confirmed.
Just like the special Manaphy egg that will be gifted to early Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl buyers, a Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set has been revealed as an early purchase bonus for Legends: Arceus. You'll need to have bought and played through enough of the game by 9th May to get your hands on it (the game launches on 28th January):
The Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set will be gifted to those who preorder Pokémon Legends: Arceus. You can receive it by choosing Get via Internet from the Mystery Gifts feature in your game, up until May 9, 2022. Then you can dress yourself up in this fashionable getup as you enjoy your adventures in the Hisui region!
It takes approximately two hours of play time before the Mystery Gifts feature is unlocked. You will need an internet connection to claim this preorder bonus, but you will not need a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
As you've probably guessed, the outfit has been inspired by the newly revealed Hisuian Growlithe – one of several new Pokémon shown off during yesterday's Pokémon Presents broadcast. If you missed it, make sure to check out the game's latest trailer, which gives us our best instruction yet to the Hisui region.

But why not a pikachu costume?
Sign me up now.
Except for the hat, that looks great!
When I read the title, I thought it was an outfit for Growlithe, not an outfit made from one...
So it is Monster Hunter!
How many innocent Growlithes died in the name of fashion...?
I really like that TPC makes such things not as a pre-order bonus but as an early adopter bonus. So you don't have to pre-order it and can wait for reviews and still get those things if you decide to buy the game then
As for the costume, I think it looks cool
@Just_2_milky The hats are probably not part of the costume, they're just the standard hats from the default outfits and can be changed independently from the outfit.
They are doing "a Monster Hunter" with this game. It's fine by me, I just hope it turns out to be as good as MH Stories 2!
That outfit's pretty sweet
@mariomaster96 I still think it's funny how people let other people tell what not to play.im glad I'm old school I would have missed out on a ton of awesome games if I let someone else tell me what not to play
This is the first pokemon in a long time that I'm really looking forward too.
@SuperCharr It's not for preorder it's for getting the game soon after launch
I don't care much for the outfit but I'm planing on getting this game at the first chance
For eShop only pre-orders, or physical pre-orders too?
@msvt both probably physical copy should come with a code for it
I think I'd rather have a mythical Pokemon or one of these 'super-special' Pokemon that will trigger a transformation related to a new mechanic.
My first impressions on this game is horrible.
The graphic is uninspired and blank
The gameplay is questionable
And the world feels empty
Looking forward to this game, i hope it turns out good. Not usually too keen on the other entries.
