Pokémon Go Hisuian Pokémon forms list

How to add the Hisui variants to your Pokédex in Pokémon Go.

Hisuian Pokémon, such as Hisuian Voltorb and Hisuian Electrode, can now be added to your Pokédex in Pokémon Go.

Hisuian Pokémon includes both Hisui variants for Pokémon from past generations and new evolutions for Pokémon like Scyther and Stantler.

Hisuian Voltorb was the first Hisui variant to be added into Pokémon Go, with its debut being part of the in-game celebration for the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch.

Hisuian Pokémon in Pokémon Go explained

Hisuian Pokémon, like Alolan and Galarian Pokémon, are regional variants of Pokémon from past generations. This means they differ both physically and statistically, including different types, from their original counterparts.

Hisuian Pokémon made their first appearance in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where the player explores the Hisui region which, hundreds of years later, would be known as the Sinnoh region.

In Legends: Arceus, some of the Hisuian Pokémon can only be obtained by meeting a special requirement with a Pokémon from a past generation and then evolving it, such as evolving Stantler into Wyrdeer. Since only two Hisuain Pokémon have been released into Pokémon Go at the time of writing, we don't know how these special requirements will translate to the mobile game.

In Pokémon Go, Hisuian Pokémon are a type of Pokémon Forme, just like how Burmy has a different appearance depending on the location you encounter it in.

Thankfully, Hisuian Pokémon share the same candy as their traditional counterparts. This means that, if you have enough candy to evolve a Kanto Voltorb into an Electrode, you can do the same with a Hisuian Voltorb.

Here are some of the Hisuian Pokémon which have been released in the game so far:

  • Hisuian Voltorb as part of the Voltorb from the Hisui region?! event in January 2022.
  • Hisuian Electrode as part of the Go Tour Poké Ball Prep Rally event in February 2022.
  • During the Hisuian Discoveries event of July 2022, the following Pokémon were released:
  • Hisuian Braviary as part of the Hisuian Discoveries Raid Day on Sunday, July 31st 2022.
  • Ursaluna as part of the Teddiursa Community Day during November 2022.
  • Hisuian Avalugg as part of the a Raid Day event during Winter Holiday 2022 event in December 2022.
  • Kleavor as part of the Kleavor Raid Day on Saturday, May 6th 2023.

If you’re missing a Hisuian Pokémon from your collection, keep an eye on the seasonal or event spawns, along with the 7km egg pool, to see if they’ve been included.


The Season of Rising Heroes is here! Currently the A Valorous Hero event is running, bringing with it Mega Pinsir and the A Valorous Hero special research quest. The new Grass and Gratitude quest allows you to catch a mythical Shaymin! A new Team Go Rocket quest - From The Shadows - has been released, along with a shake up of the Giovanni and Team Go Rocket Leaders lineups. As you continue your Pokémon Go adventure, make sure to battle in the new Go Battle League season. Don't forget to take a look at the Remote Raid Passes changes or, if you purchased it, work on the Masterwork Research: Wish Granted quest. Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres. This incense may also give you encounters with other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
