Pokemon Legends: Arceus — how to unlock Baneful Fox mask and Growlithe Kimono Mystery Gifts

IF YOU’VE picked up Pokemon Legends: Arceus today, you can unlock a couple of cosmetic items for absolutely free.

There are also a couple of extra mystery gifts for people who pre-ordered the new pokemon game, so you can potentially get a nice collection of freebies.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus has free Mystery Gifts for players for a limited time only

The Baneful Fox mask and Growlithe Kimono set are available for all Pokemon Legends: Arceus players for a limited time.

Meanwhile, claiming the other gifts depends on a couple of different factors.

So let’s dive in to review what you can claim and how to get it.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus Mystery Gifts revealed

There are a ton of Mystery gifts up for grabs, as well as specific pokemon encounters.

Unlocking all of them will depend on the save files you have on your Nintendo Switch from other games in the series.

There are also some pre-order bonuses, as well as a limited time to claim early purchase Mystery Gifts.

These are the items you can unlock if you buy the game by May, or have pre-ordered:

How to unlock Baneful Fox mask and Growlithe Kimono set

These two items are up for grabs for until Monday, May 9, 2022.

It’s a pretty generous window of time, given that the game has come out at the end of January.

To avoid missing out, we recommend getting the game before then so you don’t risk being on the wrong side of the cut-off times.

The Baneful Fox mask and Growlithe Kimono set can be claimed after you’ve sunk a few hours into the game, and have finished mission five.

With that out of the way, you’ll need to be connected to the internet (but no Nintendo Online membership is required).

To claim the Mystery Gifts, hit up on the D-pad to access the menu, and scroll across to the ‘Communications’ tab using the shoulder buttons.

Select the ‘Mystery Gifts’ option, then ‘Get via internet’. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the two items.

How to unlock Heavy Balls in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

The 30 Heavy Balls are a Nintendo eShop order bonus that you can claim as long as you buy Pokemon Legends: Arceus by Monday, May 9, 2022.

You have until Monday, May 16 to actually claim it, but again, we wouldn’t advise that you leave it to the last minute.

After you’ve completed mission five and the Mystery Gift option in the menu is unlocked you can go ahead and claim your prize.

Navigate to the ‘Communications’ tab, select ‘Mystery Gift’ and then ‘Get with Code / Password’.

When you order the game via the Nintendo eShop, you’ll receive a code for the 30 Heavy Balls, so pop that in and just wait for them to download.

How to unlock the Garchomp Kimono Set

The Garchomp Kimono Set is exclusive to Amazon US and Japan pre-orders — both digital and physical.

The codes were distributed upon Pokemon Legends: Arceus’ official January 28 release date.

You have until Monday, May 16, 2022 to claim the Mystery Gift.

If you haven’t received it yet, check your spam folder, and if it hasn’t arrived in the next few days, contact Amazon.

To claim the Garchomp Kimono Set, you’ll need to wait until mission five is complete and the Mystery Gift option opens up.

The head to the ‘Communications’ tab in menu, select ‘Mystery Gift’, then ‘Get with Code / Password’.

Pop in your code and the Garchomp Kimono Set will start to download.
