How Will The Pokémon Anime Use Hisui Pokémon?
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Pokémon Journeys: The Series.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series is celebrating the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus with a four-part TV special, but it remains unclear how the anime will incorporate the long-lost Hisui Pokémon into its narrative moving forward.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series formally introduces the Hisuian forms in an anime special titled «Satoshi and Go! Let's Go to the Sinnoh Fest!» This episode has just recently played in Japan, though it has yet to get a Western release date.

The group face the reemerging Team Galactic as they try to bring back their leader Cyrus, who is seemingly stuck in another dimension.

The four Pokémon appear in a flashback shot as Ash learns about them in the Canalave City library.
