Pokémon Legends: Arceus Hisuian Growlithe Flies Thanks to Glitch

screenrant.com:

Thanks to a hilarious glitch, Pokémon Legends: Arceus has added a new flying Pokémon in the Hisuian Growlithe. Hisuian Growlithe is one of the new versions of the Pokémon players have come to know and love over the years, joining other fan-favorite Pokémon like Voltorb and Electrode in gaining Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Pokémon are versions of Pokémon from the ancient region of Hisui, where Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes place. In the region that would eventually become Sinnoh, players can find many new variations of Pokémon as well as familiar forms of Pokémon from the previous generations of games. However, some Pokémon are slightly different from the version that players have known in the past, making them extremely rare and interesting as players are hungry to find these updated versions. Although the Hisuian Pokémon were added to the Pokémon Legends: Arceus at launch, a recent GameStop promotion allowed players the chance to encounter and add Hisuian Growlithe to their team far earlier than they would normally be able to by just playing the game. Unfortunately, it seems that players might not want to redeem those codes right away.

As spotted by Reddit user pucas_16 (via Game Rant), a glitch causes the Hisuian Growlithe to fly through the air as the player's character looks on in horror. This is obviously not an intended interaction, given that Growlithe cannot normally fly and the Pokémon model appears to show Growlithe just running along as if it was on land. Still, that didn't stop pucas_16 and others from quipping about Hisuian Growlithe possibly introducing a new Flying-type variant to Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Even though this glitch doesn't
