While GameStop will soon be offering US Pokémon Legends: Arceus fans a free Hisuian Growlithe and some badminton, Japanese players are getting an even better mystery gift.
Even though Pokémon Saga: Arceus is less than a month old, Nintendo and Game Freak have rolled out mystery gifts to entice players. The first wave of gifts seems to be country-determined, though, and it does appear that some players will end up with better gifts overall. Recently, Serebii.net revealed that GameStop stores across the US will be running a special mystery gift promotion that will reward you with a code for a free Hisuian Growlithe and 20 badminton balls. The event runs from February 25th to March 13th, so anyone who visits GameStop and uses the code can also download Legends: Arceus' mysterious gift. What better way to train your new Growlithe than in knockoff clothes?
While the free Growlithe is probably welcome for anyone who wants to own Hisui’s premier regional variant (and a few free balls), it pales in comparison to Japan’s current Mystery Gift event. From now until February 24th, anyone who visits the Osaka, Mega Tokyo, or Kanazawa Pokémon Centers can receive a code for a free Piplup. Well, technically two, as the code will apparently net them one Piplup for Pokémon Legends: Arceus and one for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. That’s one point in Japan’s corner since the Hisuian Growlithe code only works for Legends: Arceus.
Currently, we don’t know what moves the gifted Hisuian Growlithe will know out of the gate, but the free Piplups will each sport a healthy mix of maneuvers. The Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Piplup will come with Hydro Pump, Pluck, Work Up, and Attract, while the Legends: Arceus Piplup will know Bubble, Roost, Double Edge, and Baby-Doll Eyes. Those lineups combine moves that need to be purchased with the final attack Piplups can learn naturally, which places the little penguins high on the priorities list. However, the Piplups offer even more than that.
