Pokemon Legends Arceus’ Pokedex may have just leaked
Game Freak / The Pokemon CompanyA prominent insider has claimed to have leaked a large portion of the Pokemon Legends Arceus Pokedex. According to the leaker, Mythicals such as Darkrai will make their return in the 2022 Game Freak RPG.
Although Pokemon Legends Arceus is technically a Gen IV origin story, players will experience a drastically different version of Sinnoh when exploring the Hisui region.
According to a major leak, it will largely bring back an existing Pokedex. The new rumor reveals many Pokemon “supposedly” in the upcoming Game Freak single-player title.
Game Freak / The Pokemon CompanyPokemon Legends Arceus Pokedex leaked?
While PLA’s entire Dex has not been officially confirmed, a prominent insider with a consistent track record of accurately leaking Pokemon data has claimed to have revealed a major “sneak peek” of the Hisui region Pokedex.
In a December 4 tweet, Riddler Khu posted an image that shows a row of Pokemon types with their Pokedex numbers on them. The data reveals which character each box is when looking up the National Pokedex order number.
If true, the leak claims that the bulk of the Hisui region Dex will be the same as Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl’s, just with new starters and new regional typing for various ‘mon. The rumor also reveals that Mythical’s Manaphy and Phione will be in the base game, and Darkrai and Shaymin will again be obtained by events or gifts.
This makes sense since it’s already been confirmed that Shaymin is being given away for free to players that have a Pokemon Sword & Shield save file. Interestingly, despite Legends Arceus being set in the ancient past, Fossil Pokemon Cranidos and Shieldon are also listed to return – perhaps players will be able to catch them in the wild?
In a follow-up tweet, Riddler Khu explained that the picture doesn’t include Baby Pokemon evolution lines such as Elekid or Smoochum because they would take too much time to write out. But the account also added, “They baby Pokemon line all make it. Pokemon #387 – 493 are also all in.”
That last bit of information is also curious because it would mean that Rotom and Porygon-Z will also be catchable in the game. Over on the r/PokeLeaks forum, one fan theorized, “Khu also says all 387-493 make it in, so that includes Porygon-Z as well. I think that confirms some form of time travel if the Arc Phone didn’t already.”

Even though the leaker has a long history of accurately leaking Pokemon content, take everything above with a major grain of salt. Still, it wouldn’t be too shocking if Pokemon Legends Arceus is essentially a Sinnoh Dex given it’s a Gen IV origin story.
Riddler Khu left fans with one last tidbit, stating, “BTW, only the head part and feet part of Hisui Dex in this pic are in the order of regional dex, the body part is in the order of national dex.” So it seems the single-player story game will have some parts of the National Dex incorporated as well.
