New official collectible plushes featuring Hisuian forms from Pokémon Legends: Arceus are available now on the Pokémon Center website. Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which is set in the historic Sinnoh region known as Hisui, expanded the Pokémon main series Pokédex with a collection of new regional forms and evolutions. Several of these have become iconic mascots for the open-world-inspired game, drawing large popularity from Pokémon fans.
Collecting Pokémon-themed merchandise has been a popular way to celebrate the series for decades, with plushes purchased as decorations or cuddly companions for both young and old Pokémon fans. While some of these collectibles, like Build-A-Bear's new Leafeon plush, come from partnerships between the Pokémon franchise and other retailers, a large percentage of collectible items can be found on the official Pokémon Center website. The store has everything from jewelry to specialized longboards, giving fans numerous ways to showcase their affection for the series.
In a short announcement shared on the Pokémon website, and on the Pokémon Twitter account, four iconic Hisuian form plushes were revealed for players to purchase from the Pokémon Center store. Wyrdeer is 12 1/2 inches tall and will cost $19.99, Basculegion is 15 inches and costs $19.99, Hisuian Braviary is 10 1/4 inches and costs $19.99, and Hisuian Growlithe is 9 3/4 inches tall and costs $16.49. Players can also pick up Comfy Friends Plushes of Chimchar, Turtwig, and Piplup to expand their Sinnoh collections.
While adding any of the Hisuian Pokémon to a personal Pokémon Legends: Arceus collection would be exciting, several of the plushes are already sold out on the Pokémon Center website. Currently, Hisuian Growlithe and Basculegion have already been bought out, with no official news on when these two options will be back in stock. It also isn't clear how many of the remaining plushes in stock may be available for purchase. For those hoping to collect all four, snatching Hisuian Braviary and Wyrdeer while they are still available may be a good idea. In the meantime, fans wanting the cute alternate form of Growlithe and the hilariously long Basulegion plushes will want to check the store regularly for restocks.
While many aspects of Pokémon Legends: Arceus have changed from past Pokémon Games, with open-world-inspired exploration and a Shiny Charm that is easier to get, many have enjoyed the refreshing changes made to past Pokémon formulas. With aspects like overworld catch mechanics and semi-real-time battles allowing players to travel the region more immersively than past games, many may be hoping similar mechanics will be included in the newly announced Generation Nine games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. In the meantime, Pokémon Legends: Arceus fans can continue exploring the Hisui region while cuddling up with a favorite Hisuian form plush companion for adventure support.
