Pokemon Day has fed the series’ fans with some exciting news for all of their titles.Scarlet and Violetwere obviously the big announcements of the day, as the base game got a new update which included a few other highly anticipated updates, such as integration with Pokemon GO. But the biggest thing is their newest DLCs which include tons of new Pokemon, as well as some returning exclusives for each version.
Among those newcomers and returners, we also got a glimpse of an old fan favorite: the Hisuian form of Zoroark. The Illusion Fox Pokemon is available right now for trainers to grab. Since Pokemon HOME is still locked away from Scarlet and Violet, this is the first Hisui-exclusive Pokemon we’re getting in Gen IX so far, so here’s how you get your own.
