Hisuian Pokémon Debuts
The main appeal of Timeless Travels is the introduction of select Pokémon from ancient Hisui to Pokémon GO for the very first time. These rare variants appeared centuries ago in the region that would eventually become Sinnoh.
So far, Hisuian Samurott, Hisuian Decidueye, Hisuian Typhlosion, and Wyrdeer are confirmed. More Hisuian species may also enter the game over the coming weeks. Be sure to explore areas around you frequently for a chance at these elusive encounters.
