Some of the Pok\u00e9mon from previous titles will appear in a new Hisuian form, and not only do they differ in appearance, but also in their Pok\u00e9mon types. For example, Growlithe is a Fire type Pok\u00e9mon, while <a href=\"https:\/\/legends.pokemon.com\/en-us\/pokemon\/growlithe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hisuian Growlithe<\/a> is a Fire\/Rock dual-type Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the newly announced Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark are both Normal\/Ghost dual-type, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemon.co.jp\/ex\/legends_arceus\/ja\/strangevideo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to Professor Oak<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-001-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>So why is this a big deal? Because they\u2019re thought to be too strong of a combination. It may not be necessary to explain, but each Pok\u00e9mon type has both strengths and weaknesses. For example, a Fire type attack does a lot of damage against Grass type Pok\u00e9mon, Ghost type Pok\u00e9mon is immune to Fighting type attack. These interactions of properties are an important part of Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s battle system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the first time in the series, Normal\/Ghost dual-type Pok\u00e9mon will be introduced. They\u2019re strong in a sense that there are too few weaknesses. They\u2019re immune to Fighting type attacks even though they are Normal Pok\u00e9mon (which are usually weak against Fighting moves), and they\u2019re also immune to Ghost type attacks even though they are Ghost type Pok\u00e9mon (which are usually weak against Ghost moves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both types make up for each other&#8217;s weaknesses, and as a result, they only have one weakness, which is the Dark type. In addition, there are many types of moves that are ineffective or not very effective against this combination of dual-type. Simply put, they are a \u201cdual-type thought to be too strong to appear in-game.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%E3%83%8E%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%AB%E3%80%80%E3%82%B4%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, many Japanese fans are expressing their surprise in a positive manner.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211022-179828-002-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It has been announced that <em>Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus <\/em>will not include multiplayer battles, so the sudden emergence of Normal\/Ghost dual-type Pok\u00e9mon won\u2019t be wreaking havoc in PvP.
