Pokémon Legends Arceus is not only brimming with existing Pokémon, but it’s also adding in several new Pokémon and regional forms too. Set in the jaw-dropping Hisui region, this ancient landscape is full of ‘mons to catch and battle in your attempt to help the Galaxy Expedition Team and complete the Pokédex.
While there are plenty of new features for players to wrap their heads around – such as Survey Outings and a new overworld battle system – nothing will match the feeling of seeing and catching brand new Pokémon for the first time.
To help you keep track of these new ‘mons in Legends Arceus, we’ve compiled a list of all the never-before-seen Pokémon or regional forms that make their debuts in the game.
Pokémon Legends Arceus new Pokémon
The brand-new Pokémon in Legeneds Arceus are:
- Wyrdeer
- Basculegion
- Kleavor
- Sneasler
- Overqwil
- Ursaluna
- Enamorus
Most of these ‘new’ Pokémon are actually additional evolutions to existing Pokémon. For example, Wyrdeer is a new evolution for Stantler, Ursaluna is a new evolution for Ursaring, and Overqwil is a new evolution for the Hisuian form of Qwilfish (more on Hisuian forms in a moment).
The only new Pokémon that isn’t an evolution of an existing one is Enamorus. This is a new legendary Pokémon that joins the Forces of Nature group of legendaries (those being Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus). Like the other three in the group, it has two forms: Therian and Incarnate.
Pokémon Legends Arceus Hisuian forms
These are the Hisuian forms of existing Pokémon that are being introduced in Legends Arceus:
- Hisuian Growlithe and Arcanine
- Hisuian Braviary
- Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark
- Hisuian Voltorb and Electrode
- Hisuian Qwilfish
- Hisuian Sneasel
- Hisuian Lilligant
- Hisuian Sliggoo and Goodra
- Hisuian Avalugg
- Hisuian Typhlosion
- Hisuian Decidueye
- Hisuian Samurott
As you’ll know from other games, regional forms of classic Pokémon are nothing new. In Legends Arceus’ region of Hisui, several older ‘mons get a makeover (and a new set of types from the Pokémon type chart).
These include Generation 1 icons like Voltorb and Growlithe, as well as the final evolutions of the three starter Pokémon in Legends Arceus, Typhlosion, Decidueye, and Samurott.
That’s everything you need to know about the new Pokémon in Legends Arceus. Happy hunting!
