How to get free Pokemon Arceus Legends outfits in Pokemon Go

The developers of Pokemon Go have announced two special edition outfits for trainers’ in-game avatars to celebrate the release of Pokemon Legends Arceus.

Since its release in 2016, Pokemon Go has offered the ability to change the style of your in-game avatar to help trainers feel like they’re playing the game with a version of themselves.

Niantic’s popular mobile game has regularly featured in-game events throughout the years, with some including a wide variety of items for your avatar, including a collab with big-name brands like North Face and Gucci.

Now, to celebrate the launch of Pokemon Arceus Legends, Niantic has revealed two free special edition outfits for trainers looking to be as stylish as the survey corps — and here’s how to get them.
