Pokemon: The Arceus Chronicles | Trailer

Even just from the trailer, we’ll see a strong showing from different Hisui region variant Pokemon, such as Hisuian versions of Braviary and Growlithe, as well as Wyrdeer and Basculegion.  The plot involves Team Galactic escaping from custody and trying to rescue their leader, Cyrus, from his apparent imprisonment in the Diamond and Pearl series, while resorting to methods such as Galactic member Saturn capturing Heatran, only to have it escape and go on a fiery rampage. They look to open a portal on Mount Coronet, and none other than Arceus and the lake guardian Pokemon, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, call on Ash to help stop the chain of events that unfolds.

As for Pokemon that make an appearance aside from legendary headliners mentioned above, we see Cynthia deploying a Roserade in battle, while Brock brings along Steelix, Chansey, and more.  Other Pokemon such as Cinderace, Grookey, Piplup, Pikachu, and even Hisuian starter Pokemon Cyndaquil, Rowlet, and Oshawott will make an appearance.  If the special adaptation is a simple English language dub, it will be a 4-episode, 63-minute special, so keep your eyes peeled!
