Pokemon GOcontinues to update its vast roster of creatures from the main series well into 2023, and the additions from the Hisui Region over the past year mark the game’s foray into content fromPokemon Legends: Arceus. Many of these mons have been featured in special events and community days forPokemon GO, giving players a reason to pick the game back up and continue their collection. While not every Hisuian creature has been added to the game as of yet, there is still a solid number worth trying to obtain.
Despite the recent backlash over thechange toPokemon GO’s Remote Raidsystem, many of these Hisuian forms are only available by participating in Raids against them but have been limited to particular events or special Raid Days. It is still possible to obtain some of these Hisuian monsters by hatching 7km eggs, but each one available comes with its own rarity and chance of hatching from a given egg. Aside from unreleased Hisuian forms, it’s likely that previously obtainable Hisuian mons will also become available again through Raids in future events.

Hisuian Forms Still Missing from Pokemon GO (May 2023)
While there are a handful of Hisuian forms available inPokemon GO, there are some notable mons missing from the list. The starter trio of Hisuian Decidueye,Hisuian Typhlosion, and Hisuian Samurott are some of the biggest omissions given their prominence inPokemon Legends: Arceusand the fact that their original forms are already present in the game. These starters are some of the most popular forms of older creatures introduced inPokemon Legends: Arceus,so it’s likely they will have their own special event dedicated to them in the future.
Other mons that could be added in future events are the equally popular Hisuian Sliggoo and Goodra, as well as Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark who could appear in another event like2022’s Hisuian Discoveries. Additionally, critters like Wyrdeer, Basculegion, Hisuian Lilligant, and Enamorus would make perfect bosses for future Raid Days spread out over the course of the year. As Niantic continues to add Hisuian creatures fromPokemon Legends: Arceus, it’s likely that players will see fun and interesting ways to interact with them, whether through Community Day events, Raids, or other seasonal events.
