To celebrate the launch of Pokémon Legends: Arceus on the Nintendo Switch this week, Niantic's popular mobile game Pokémon GO is hosting its own special events.
As of January 30th, the new Hisuian Voltorb form has started to spawn in-game. The Hisuian form is electric-grass type.
In addition to this, Niantic is offering some new avatar items inspired by what the protagonists in Pokémon Legends: Arceus wear. And don't worry, these outfits will be made available to all trainers. Here's a look:
Will you be returning to GO to catch a Hisuian Voltorb? Comment down below.

Cool, I’ll check it out, I’ve been off Pokémon go for a few months and I don’t think this will change that, but I’ll get the Pokémon at the very least
I just caught one now on go was a nice surprise 😊
I guess this means that until Legends Arceus gets HOME support, catching a Hisuian Voltorb in GO is the only way to transfer a Hisuian Pokemon to HOME. Neat in a very weird, niche way, haha.
@MH4 looks like transfer to Home isn't supported yet.
All I see is an orange.
@BloodNinja OH NO I SEE IT
@Fizza I know. The effect is subtle. But if you turn your phone upside down and squint it’s totally an orange.
Of all the Hisuian redesigns they pick the most boring one.
Welp, logged onto Pokemon to go get a Hisuian Voltorb and caught a shiny Kantonian one. Figures.
@ThatWarriorsFan they’re trying to lure you back in
I don't remember voltorb having a hole on its head:0....watts it used for?
@Travisemo007 only this form has the hole on head. And that’s because little fireworks (of sorts) launch from successful catches in Arceus. Voltorbs needing to be similar in appearance to Pokéballs and all.
I might be boring, but I really love this design. Was surprised that it had no evolution in Go. I wonder if that’s because it doesn’t have one (i kinda assumed there would be an electrode equivalent).
Since December I have massively gotten back into Go. Played it for the first year and a bit pretty solidly, then just stopped walking for my commute and dropped off it. Returning after a few years is cool, as they have done a lot to keep it engaging (plus I have loooads to catch now)
