With Shiny Diamond and Shiny Pearl Pokémon Landing this month, Nintendo announced Pokémon Platinum outfits as a bonus for early players. Anyone who picks up the game from its November 19 release through February 22 has access to the spare clothes, but it won't be instantly on your in-game persona.
The long-awaited remakes bring back the popular Mystery Gift format and use it to incorporate this bonus. However, once you get your copy of Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, you won't be able to instantly access the Mystery Gift feature.
How to Get Mystery Gifts and the Pokémon Platinum Outfit
Before accessing the Pokémon Platinum outfit, you will need to unlock the Mystery Gifts feature. To do this, you will first need to have beaten Roark, the Oreburgh City Gym Leader, as well as the Galactic Grunts north of Jubilife. Once they are both out of sight, go to the TV station in the center of Jubilife City.
Once at the TV station, head to the third floor and find the TV producer who will ask your two questions. Answer the first question with "EVERYONE HAPPY" and the second with "Wi-Fi CONNECTED", and the Mystery Gift feature is unlocked. All you need to do now is save and restart the game, and you will be able to access the Mystery Gift menu under the New Game option.
From the Mystery Gift menu, select Receive via Internet and the Pokémon Platinum outfits will be ready to download. Once downloaded, you can equip your new yarns in the Apparel menu in-game. No code is required. Just be sure to upload your bonus content before it goes away early next year.
Do these few steps and you'll have the Pokémon Platinum outfits for nearly all of your reinvented Sinnoh adventures. For any other tips or tricks, be sure to check out our ever-expanding Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl guides page.
Shiny Diamond and Shiny Pearl Pokémon released exclusively for Nintendo Switch on November 19.
