Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes Trainers to a time when the Sinnoh region was called Hisui and accordingly, many Pokemon have a Hisuian Form. Here’s a list of all Hisuian Forms and new Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus that should help you while completing your Pokedex.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus was well received by many fans because it finally introduced certain open-world mechanics to the franchise. Moreover, Trainers explore the Sinnoh region like never before and learn a bunch of new things about its past.

Having said that, the biggest highlight of any Pokemon game will always be the creatures themselves. In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you can find Hisuian Forms of many fan-favorite Pokemon, and here’s everything to know about them.
