How to get the Libre Pikachu costume in Pokémon Go

You can earn many rewards by playing Pokémon Go. They vary from in-game resources to help your Pokémon become more powerful, encounters with rare Pokémon, and sometimes cosmetics to make your trainer stand out from other players who meet in the game. A new costume you can earn is a Libre Pikachu outfit, which decorates your trainer avatar in a full costume.

You can see the full costume in a recent Reddit post shown by user TheVps. They have their avatar wearing the full outfit in the first image, where it covers their entire body in the single outfit. You can tell it's a Libre Pikachu costume by the iconic Pikachu ears and red cheeks on the Libre mask.

To earn the costume, you must participate in the Battle League. The Battle League is a brand new feature in Pokémon Go where you have the opportunity to test your Pokémon's skills against other players to see who wins. The more battles you participate in, the more ranks you earn, which you acquire by participating in the battles. You don't need to win. If you win them, you receive exclusive encounters, such as having the chance to capture a Scraggy at rank IV (4). Reddit user TheVps earned his Libre Pikachu costume by reaching Rank VII (7) in the Battle League. You don't need to pay them after accessing the clothes.

For those eager to get into the Battle League, you have to walk five kilometers to get there. You can get three per day. However, you can shorten this length by using a premium raid pass when you reach two kilometers. This option costs 100 PokéCoins.
