Pokémon Legends: Arceus Reveals Hisuian Voltorb
Pokémon Legends: Arceus has revealed a newly discovered Pokémon, Hisuian Voltorb.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes players back in time to the Hisui reigon, which would later be known as Sinnoh. Players complete the old-school, book-type Pokedex for research and studying Pokémon that will later join the Pokémon world we know where humans and Pokémon can live together in harmony.
It’s said that Hisuian Voltorb has a friendly personality...but it frequently shocks nearby Pokémon when it gets excited. ?

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Reveals Hisuian Voltorb
The Hisuian Voltorb was announced by Nintendo and the offical Pokemon Twitter. A 'surprise' on the Pokemon Legends: Arceus website was released and fans could interact by "picking up poké balls".
Hey there! It’s your mate, the Ball Guy!

Trainers, since we are such good friends, I have a favor to ask.
I was so excited to tweet that I dropped all my Poké Balls! Would you please help me pick them up?
I dropped them all here! https://t.co/FvZVXIejCp pic.twitter.com/MwpZpuz7oA
The 'surprise' was revealed to be the discovery of the Hisuian Voltorb. The version is an Electric/Grass type, and "looks very similar to the Poke Balls of the Hisui region". The Poke Balls of the Hisui region are made with wood since the game takes place ages ago before the Sinnoh region became to be.
The Hisuian Voltorb has a wood-like body, and creates electrical discharge like the Voltorb we know. Furthermore, the Hisuian Voltorb has a happy, excited personality that creates the electric discharge when it gets excited.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is available for pre-order now and available on Jan. 18, 2022
