Special Research
Voltorb from the Hisui Region?! is a Special Research campaign for Hisuian Voltorb release.

TRAINER, you’re not going to believe this! Have you seen those Poké Ball–like Pokémon rolling about? This all begs the question: why are Hisuian Voltorb appearing now after being absent for so long? Did they somehow travel to the present from the Sinnoh region of the past? I have a theory that when Team GO Rocket broke open the mysterious door, it somehow caused these Hisuian Voltorb to appear in our time. Now why am I suddenly reminded of Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon... Anyway, that’s all I’ve got! Kind of unbelievable, isn’t it? I’m going to do some more digging on my end, and I’d love your help researching these bygone Pokémon out in the field! Let’s investigate Hisuian Voltorb together. They look an awful lot like Voltorb—a Pokémon native to the Kanto region, among others—but I’ve never seen any Voltorb quite like these. I reached out to everyone I could think of and pored over all the research documents I could get my hands on, but get this: nothing in modern scholarship mentions this Pokémon! However, I did eventually find something. Did you know that the Sinnoh region used to be known as the Hisui region? Well, I found historical documentation of an old-fashioned Poké Ball developed long ago in the Hisui region, and I realized it greatly resembles this mysterious Pokémon. Or could it be the other way around? Which came first: the Poké Ball or the Pokémon? Who knows! Taking all this into consideration, I believe this anomalous Pokémon is, in fact, a Voltorb that once lived in the Hisui region. Is it still a regional variant if it only existed in the past? Gosh, what a puzzle. For now, I suppose we may as well call this Pokémon Hisuian Voltorb.

I’m still reeling, TRAINER. Can you believe Pokémon from a different time are now appearing around us? Anyway. Our research sure has been exciting lately, hasn’t it, TRAINER? Something tells me we’re in for even more exciting discoveries! Let’s keep at it and see what else our adventure together brings. I wonder what this Pokémon has seen in the Hisui region—and what it thinks of the future it’s suddenly seeing now! Ah, the Hisui region... I wonder what other kinds of Pokémon lived there. What I wouldn’t give to go back in time and experience the Hisui region for myself! It’d be a dream come true! Maybe if I ever meet Celebi, I could ask it for a quick trip back in time, just to sate my curiosity! ...But I’m sure that’s not possible. It’s nice to dream, though! Anyway, I’ve decided to research whether Hisuian Voltorb can evolve. I haven’t the foggiest if it can, but that won’t stop me. I want to learn everything about this strange and wonderful Pokémon. After all, it’s not every day that a literal blast from the past falls into your lap! Get it? Because Voltorb can Self-Destruct? Haha...
