Pokemon Legends: Arceus reveals Hisuian Voltorb

Hisuian Voltorb is joining Pokemon Legends: Arceus, it’s just been revealed. It’s a Sphere Pokemon with Electric/Grass Type, coming in at 1’8″ and weighing 28.7 pounds.

This creature has a glossy, spherical body and has an appearance reminiscent of Poke Balls of the Hisui region given the wood-grain-like makeup of its body’s surface and the hole on the top of its head.​

Hisuian Voltorb has a whole bunch of seeds, and it sometimes spouts them out of the hole in its head. The Pokemon Company mentions that “no one knows exactly what it’s like inside the Pokemon’s body, because inside the hole, it’s pitch-dark.”

Further describing the Pokemon, it’s “always in high spirits and has a friendly personality.” But since it discharges its stored electricity all at once from the hole in its head when it gets excited, it often shocks humans and Pokemon in its vicinity – and even the slightest provocation can set off the discharge. Hisuian Voltorb is actually thought to be a bit of a nuisance. There are tales of people temporarily plugging the hole on the creature’s head and kicking it out of settlements.

Here’s a first look video for Hisuian Voltorb in Pokemon Legends: Arceus:
