Hisuian Voltorb is a regional variant of Voltorb that was first introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The variant version is an Electric/Grass-type Pokemon that resembles the hand-crafted Poke Balls seen in the Pokemon game, but are noted to have appeared long before the Poke Ball was invented. Additionally, the Hisuian Voltorb has a much more pleasant and friendly temperament than its Kantonian counterpart, although the Pokemon is just as prone to exploding and releasing massive electric discharge.
The Hisuian Voltorb’s appearance continues a trend of several Pokemon originally introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus being added to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Both Ursaluna (a unique variant called the Bloodmoon Ursaluna) and Basculegion were introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s first DLC pack, while Overqwil and Kleavor were both available in the second DLC pack. Several other Pokemon species from Pokemon Legends: Arceus can be transferred into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet but can’t be currently caught in the newer game.
Pokemon has announced that it will air a Pokemon Presents on February 27th, which coincides with its Pokemon Day celebration. It’s widely anticipated that a new Pokemon game will be announced during the presentation, with most fans expecting either a Gen 5 remake or a tie back to Gen 2 games.
