How To Get Darkrai And The Modern Team Galactic Set

Pokemon Legends Arceus Modern Team Galactic Set

Modern Team Galactic Set

Once you've joined the Galaxy Expedition Team, which is about an hour into the game, you'll be able to head to the Clothier in Jubilife City and claim your Modern Team Galactic clothing items: Modern Jacket, Modern Trousers, and Modern Shoes.

Darkrai

Getting Darkrai takes a lot more time compared to getting those new threads, as you have to complete the main story first and watch the credits roll. After this, head into the Galaxy Hall and investigate the board behind Laventon to grab the new 'The Darksome Nightmare' Research Task relating to Darkrai.

You'll have a new location to head to in the Coronet Highlands where you can find Darkrai and engage it in battle to try and catch it.

Darkrai is Level 70, so prepare yourself accordingly for this battle.

After joining the Galaxy Expedition Team, you can speak to the Clothier in Jubilife City to claim your Shaymin Kimono Set.

Shaymin

Much like Darkrai, you have to complete the game and watch the credits roll before you get a chance to catch Shaymin. Once you've done this, grab the 'A Token of Gratitude' Request from Laventon's board in his office and then head to the Obsidian Fieldlands.

Shaymin is Level 70, so prepare your team properly to take it down.

How To Get The Pikachu and Eevee-Themed Masks

Having save data for Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Eevee! might not get you a Mythical Pokemon encounter, but you'll still be able to grab some free clothing items. After joining the Galaxy Expedition Team, speak to the Clothier in Jubilife City to get your Pikachu and Eevee-Themed Masks.
