How to get the Hisuain Growlithe Kimono Set and Baneful Fox Mask bonuses in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Before attempting to download the Hisuain Growlithe Kimono Set and Baneful Fox Mask in Pokémon Legends Arceus, there are three facts you need to take into account.
The first is that both of these items will only be available until Monday, 9th May 2022 at the following times:
- UK - 12:59am (BST)
- Europe - 1:59am (CEST)
- East Coast US - 7:59pm (EDT)
- West Coast US - 4:59 pm (PDT)
After this time, these items will no longer be available, so, whether you want to wear them or simply have them in your collection, make sure you complete the download before this date.
Secondly, you'll need an Internet connection to collect the Hisuain Growlithe Kimono Set and Baneful Fox Mask. You don't, however, need a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Finally, you need to unlock the Mystery Gift feature in Legends: Arceus which will occur roughly two hours into the game's main campaign.
Once you've unlocked Mystery Gift, open it and select 'Get via Internet.' Now all you have to do is follow the instructions on screen and, after a short wait time, you'll have downloaded these cosmetic items.
Now simply have to visit the clothier in Jubilife Village to equip the Hisuain Growlithe Kimono Set and Baneful Fox Mask.
Our Pokémon Legends Arceus walkthrough will help you pick a starter Pokémon and win the Kleavor boss fight. You’re also tasked with filling the Hisui Pokédex by obtaining new evolutions like Kleavor by evolving Scyther, Wyrdeer by evolving Stantler, Sneasler by evolving Hisui Sneasel and Overquil by evolving Hisui Qwilfish. There’s a host of new evolution methods, including ones for the Eevee evolutions. Take the time to complete Requests too, such as The Sea’s Legend, Wurmple’s Evolved! and finding the Wisp locations. Don’t forget to track down every Unown location too.

When you're ready to receive the Heavy Balls, open the Mystery Gift feature and select 'Get with Code / Password.' You will then need to input your unique code and, after a small wait, the Heavy Balls will arrive.
Good luck in the Hisui region!
