Pokémon Legends: Arceus pre-order bonus downloads

The Pokémon Legends: Arceus pre-order bonus is fairly straightforward and similar across all major retailers with one small difference.

Those who pre-order physical copies of Pokémon Legends: Arceus before the game’s release date will receive two in-game items after the game’s launch:

Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set
Baneful Fox Mask

Amazon’s outfit set is different than other retailers

Every retailer is offering this same bonus, except for Amazon which has a slightly tweaked pre-order bonus with a Garchomp Kimono Set instead of one mimicking Hisuian Growlithe.

Those who pre-order digital versions of Pokémon Legends: Arceus will receive the same outfit bonuses, but they will also be able to redeem a code to receive 30 Heavy Balls.
