Is Hisuian Typhlosion a Good Pokemon?
When the starters of the Pokemon Legends Arceus game were first announced – Cyndaquil, Oshawott, and Rowlet – right away, I decided on Cyndaquil for my first playthrough. This decision was strongly drawn to the idea of playing around with the Fire/Ghost typing that was rumored for Hisuian Typhlosion. Having a starter in a similar […]
Is Ursaluna Good in Pokemon Legends Arceus?
In Pokemon Legends Arceus, Ursaring finally gets an evolution in Ursaluna. As one of the Ride Pokemon in the game, you’ll be spending a lot of time with this Hisui exclusive. Unfortunately, he’s also one of the trickier Pokemon to evolve in the game, thanks to needing an excessively rare item in Peat Block. Not […]
Is Enamorus a Good Pokemon?
Enamorus is unique among the new Pokemon in Legends Arceus, being the only brand new standalone Pokemon introduced in this game that wasn’t an evolution for a pre-existing mon. She is a new Genie like Pokemon in the mold of Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus. Like the others, she has two forms, an Incarnate Forme and […]
Is Hisuian Avalugg a Good Pokemon?
When it came to a Pokemon game based on the ancient Sinnoh region – then called Hisui – you wouldn’t expect Avalugg to be a key part of the game. Not only did the Generation 6 (X & Y) Avalugg appear in what is technically a Generation 4 (Diamond and Pearl) game, but it became […]
Is Hisuian Goodra a Good Pokemon?
With Pokemon Legends Arceus, we get an alternate Hisui form in Hisuian Goodra, in which our gooey Dragon friend gains the Steel typing. Goodra has always been a favorite of many Pokemon trainers and for good reason. Its gooey exterior only adds to the charm of this Dragon-type mon. While its competitive usage has fallen […]
Is Overqwil a Good Pokemon?
Pokemon Legends Arceus brings a good Pokemon in Qwilfish a much deserved evolution with Overqwil. While only available in the Hisui region, this Dark/Poison type has solid stat boosts over its pre-evolution. The swap of types from Water to Dark has done both Qwilfish and Overqwil some serious favors defensively and offensively. So, is Overqwil […]
Is Hisuian Lilligant a Good Pokemon
In Pokemon Legends Arceus, Lilligant is not only one of the lucky Pokemon to be granted a Hisuian form, but is even a Noble Pokemon. Gaining the Fighting type isn’t all the Flowering Pokemon has in store, but a brand new spread for its stats, too. Whereas traditional Lilligant is a special attacker, Hisuian Lilligant […]
Is Sneasler a Good Pokemon?
Sneasler is the alternate evolution for Sneasel in the Hisui region of Pokemon Legends Arceus. Despite the somewhat lazy name for this new Pokemon, it has some pros over its other traditional evolution in Weavile. First off, Sneasel and Sneasler are both Poison/Fighting type in Hisui, rather than the traditional Ice/Dark type pairing of Sneasel […]
Is Hisuian Arcanine a Good Pokemon?
Growlithe is among the first 150 Pokemon ever created, and its evolution into the powerful Arcanine continues to be among the most popular of all pocket monsters. In Pokemon Legends Arceus, Growlithe was one of the first to be officially revealed with a regional Hisui variant, this one being both Rock and Fire type. While […]
Is Basculegion a Good Pokemon?
Basculegion is a new Pokemon evolution featured in Pokemon Legends Arceus for a Pokemon that badly needed it. It’s not that the Pokemon it evolves from was actually bad, but it was underwhelming at best. Fortunately, Game Freak has made it their mission starting with Sun and Moon to reevaluate Pokemon that never seemed to […]
