Character customization has been a part of the mainlinePokemongames since the sixth generation. This included buying different clothing and even changing hairstyle and color.Pokemon Sun/Moontook customization further by adding colored contact lenses. Despite taking place in ancient Sinnoh,Pokemon Legends: Arceushas no shortage of clothing for players to buy for their characters.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus' Hisui region takes inspiration from Ezo, known today as Hokkaido. As such, the store in-game won’t have the more modern apparel that appeared in other mainlinePokemongames. Most clothing will automatically unlock as players make their way throughLegends: Arceus' main story. However, most of the Pokemon-themed Kimono Sets are rewards for Anthe’s optional Requests or by completing Pokedex entries.

Tips for Unlocking Fancy Kimono Sets
Because most of the Fancy Kimono and Bottoms are locked behind Pokedex entries, it’smuch easier to just catch the Pokemonandhave it in the Partyto complete some of its Research Tasks.
Legendary Pokemon like Giratina are locked in the postgame or part of a series of Request-lines. Since there are onlyoneof each LegendaryinPokemon Legends: Arceus, the only way to reach Research Level 10 is by using them in battle. Speak to Zisu at the Training Grounds to “master” one of their moves needed for a Research Task. Some tasks include seeing the Pokemon use a Strong/Agile-style move a certain amount of times, so it’s best to master the required moves.
As for the Hisui starter Pokemon, these can be obtained after the main story. Speak to Professor Laventon, and he will give the other two starters for free. If players want to catch more of the starters for Research Task purposes, they’ll need to find them in Space-time distortions.
Since the Rowlet/Cyndaquil/Oshawott Fancy Kimono sets unlock afterobtainingthem, it’s unnecessary to complete the Pokedex Entry. For completionist purposes, you should get the Research Level to 10 before evolving them because they’re extremely rare Pokemon.
Non-legendaries, such as the starters' final evolutions, can max out their Research Level by using them in battle. Alternatively, players can wait for Space-time distortions and try and catch their previous-evolved forms and evolve them.
However, it’s easier to just evolve the ones Laventon gives away and keep them in the party. The same applies for Pokemon like Spiritomb and Cherrim, the latter who players may recognize as beinga key Pokemon to a frustrating Request.
