The boss and commanders of the mysterious galactic team

Toughest Pokémon Trainers in Town: Gym Leaders

Candice and Abomasnow
Snowpoint City Gymnasium Leader Candice uses Ice-type Pokémon, Abomasnow leading her team. Known as the Diamond Dust Girl, she is a passionate trainer who truly emphasizes the value of focus.

Volkner and Luxray
Sunyshore City Gym’s Volkner Gym Leader uses Electric-type Pokémon, with Luxray leading his team. He’s said to be the strongest gym leader in the Sinnoh area, but he misses the lack of tough challengers, so he spends his time constantly reshaping the gym.

Legendary Pokémon Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf
These three legendary Pokémon appear in the myths of the Sinnoh region. According to the inhabitants of Sinnoh, Uxie is the being of knowledge, Mesprit is the being of emotion, and Azelf is the being of will. How will these three Pokémon be involved in your adventure?

Three lakes that represent the Sinnoh region
Sinnoh includes three lakes filled with abundant water: Acuity Lake, Verity Lake, and Valor Lake. Legendary Pokémon are said to lie dormant at the bottom of these lakes.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus
In addition to the early purchase bonus of the Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set, the Mundane Fox Mask will be offered to first-time buyers of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Players can don this unique Hisuian Zoroark themed mundane fox mask while enjoying their adventures in the Hisui region!

Introducing the Newly Discovered Hisuan Forms of Zorua and Zoroark

Hisuian Zorua
Category: Evil Fox Pokémon
Type: Normal / Phantom
Height: 2’4 ″ (0.7 m)
Weight: 27.6 lbs. (12.5 kilograms)

Reborn as a ghost type using the power of spite
These Zorua migrated to the Hisui region after being driven from other lands by humans, who avoided the Pokémon for exhibiting strange illusions. But the Zorua perished, unable to survive Hisuian’s harsh environment and argue with other Pokémon. Their lingering souls were reborn in this ghost-type form thanks to the power of their malice towards humans and Pokémon.

Disguise and feed off the terror of targets
If Hisuian Zorua spots a single person or Pokémon, the Zorua may appear in front of them in an appearance mimicking the appearance of the target. Unlike the illusions of Zorua’s previously discovered form, these ghostly mimics are created using a malevolent power emitted from the long fur on Hisuian Zorua’s head, around his neck, and on his tail.

Hisuian Zoroark
Category: Evil Fox Pokémon
Type: Normal / Phantom
Height: 5’3 ″ (1.6 m)
Weight: 160.9 lbs (73kg)

Cursed illusions spring from her bulky cloak
The malevolent power emitted by Hisuian Zoroark’s long, twisted fur casts terrifying illusions and can also inflict physical damage on enemies, damaging their bodies from inside and out. And the illusions that Zoroark projects have expressions of such wickedness towards everything that goes on in this world that those who see them are driven mad by terror.

A Pokémon with an unexpected sweet side
Hisuian Zoroark is fiercely hostile and aggressive towards people and other Pokémon. But he seems to have a tendency to compassion for those he sees as close or family.
