Make sure to catch Hisuian Voltorb and get ready for this glimpse into the Hisui region of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus game on Nintendo Switch. And of course, no Poké Ball celebration would be complete without Ball Guy! You'll be able to dress up as the mysterious mascot of the Galar Pokémon League with a new Ball Guy costume avatar item.
