All Hisuian Pokémon in Legends Arceus

Although Pokemon Legends: Arceus doesn’t have much in terms of new Pokemon, it does have some pretty awesome Hisuian forms for some beloved Pokemon!

Pokemon is known for introducing regional forms in their newer games. In this instance, Hisui is actually an ancient version of the iconic Sinnoh version. So these Pokemon are past forms of some Pokemon in a sense.

If you’re looking to complete your Pokedex then you will need to have a strong understanding of all the Pokemon you will encounter.

Here’s a list of the Hisuian Pokemon that are introduced in the new Hisui region.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus – Every Hisuian Pokemon

Hisuian Pokemon is the new regional form introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Here’s every Hisuian form that you can come across in your adventures!

Growlithe & Arcanine

Growlithe and Arcanine from the original 150 Pokemon in Generation I get a makeover in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Their Hisuian forms also change their original Fire-Type into Fire-Rock Type which some players will find more helpful in battle. They also sport a new rock-like horn that they can use to attack enemies!

Its soft fur is useful for the colder climates of the Hisui Region as well. Living in the Hisui Region they’ve learned to live without people which makes it harder for them to build trust with their trainers.

Hisuian Basculin & Basculegion

Probably one of the most important Hisuian Forms you will come across, Basculin evolves to Basculegion.

Zorua & Zoroark

The Hisuian Form of Zorua actually has a pretty sad story to its origin. The original Zorua was driven from its home and because of this, it ended up arriving in the Hisui Region. Living conditions were too harsh so the Zorua perished and were reborn as Ghost versions of themselves which became the Hisuian Zorua.

Zorua and Zoroark are both Normal/Ghost Types.
