As excitement builds, new details have emerged about the addition of Hisuian forms for the Pokémon Zorua and Zoroark, enriching the lore for dedicated fans and collectors alike. Official Announcements: Key Dates and Events Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl are scheduled to launch globally on November 19, 2021, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
Preorders are live, with early-purchase bonuses available for players eager to experience the nostalgic return to the Sinnoh region.
On January 28, 2022, Pokémon Legends: Arceus will make its debut, offering fans a fresh perspective on Pokémon exploration through a semi-open world set in ancient Sinnoh.
The games mark significant milestones for The Pokémon Company, leveraging modern hardware and nostalgia to attract both longtime Trainers and newcomers. To celebrate these releases, a special commemorative Pokémon GO event runs from November 16 to November 21, 2021, featuring themed activities and rewards.
Details can be found on Pokémon GO’s official Twitter and blog, ensuring the community is engaged both in-game and online. Spotlight on Sinnoh: Team Galactic, Legendary Pokémon, and Gym Leaders Within Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, players will encounter the notorious Team Galactic, led by the enigmatic Cyrus.
Known for his emotionless logic and calculated actions, Cyrus commands a cadre of loyal subordinates: Mars, who is passionate and fiercely committed to her partner Purugly; Jupiter, striving toward her goals with partner Skuntank; and Saturn, a calm commander whose doubts rarely sway his loyalty, fighting alongside Toxicroak. Gym Leaders also stand as formidable opponents.
Candice of the Snowpoint City Gym trains Ice-type Pokémon, notably Abomasnow, while Volkner leads the Sunyshore City Gym with his formidable Electric-type team, led by Luxray.
These iconic Trainers continue the tradition of challenging gameplay and strategic battles that define the franchise. Players will also encounter the Legendary Pokémon Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, bound into Sinnoh’s lore as the Beings of Knowledge, Emotion, and Willpower, respectively.
These Legends dwell near the region’s iconic three lakes: Lake Acuity, Lake Verity, and Lake Valor, sites central to the unfolding narrative. Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark: Fresh Forms and Unique Lore Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduces newly discovered regional variants: Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark.
Unlike their original Dark-types, both debut as unique Normal/Ghost-types.
According to official lore, these Zorua arrived in the Hisui region after being ousted from their previous homes.
Failing to survive the new environment, their spirits took on ghostly forms, driven by residual malice. Hisuian Zorua manipulates its illusory powers using spiteful energy emanating from its fur, allowing it to mimic targets and feed on their fear.
Conversely, Hisuian Zoroark channels its aggression into projecting powerful illusions, capable of both terrifying and inflicting physical harm.
Despite their hostile reputation, there is evidence that Hisuian Zoroark cares deeply for Pokémon and people it regards as family. Early adopters of Pokémon Legends: Arceus will receive the exclusive Baneful Fox Mask, themed after Hisuian Zoroark, along with the Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set—further enticing Trainers to launch their journey on release day.
