Special Bonuses in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Pokemon Legends: Arceus offers several special bonuses for players, depending on their previous save data or pre-order status. These bonuses can provide early access to unique Pokemon or cosmetic items, giving your Hisui journey a distinct start. Understanding these bonuses can help you maximize your initial experience and stand out from other Galaxy Team members.

For those who have played Pokemon: Brilliant Diamond or Pokemon: Shining Pearl, a special bonus awaits in the form of the Grit Guardian Set. This cosmetic outfit can be claimed from the Change Clothes shop in Jubilife Village. It's a stylish ensemble that reflects your connection to the Sinnoh region's past. To claim it, simply speak to the attendant at the shop after progressing a bit into the main story.

Additionally, players who have save data from Pokemon: Sword or Pokemon: Shield can receive the Arceus-themed Mask. This unique accessory can also be obtained from the Change Clothes shop. It's a subtle yet distinctive nod to the mythical Pokemon Arceus, the very being central to the Hisui region's lore. Like the Grit Guardian Set, this is a cosmetic item that adds a personal touch to your character.

Pre-order bonuses were also available for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, though these are no longer obtainable through standard means. These often included early-game items or specific Pokemon. For example, some pre-orders granted access to the Garchomp Kimono Set, another cosmetic outfit. The Phione and Manaphy eggs were also part of certain special editions, offering a chance to obtain these rare Pokemon early on.

these bonuses are typically tied to your Nintendo Switch profile and the specific save data on your console. Ensure your game is updated to the latest version to properly access these rewards. While some bonuses are exclusive to past game saves, others were time-limited pre-order incentives. Always check the in-game notifications or speak to relevant NPCs in Jubilife Village to see what bonuses you're eligible for.
