Hisuian starters and their shiny forms revealed in new Pokémon Legends: Arceus leaks

New forms and shinies!

While we've known about the starters for Pokémon Legends: Arceus for quite some time, there have been a significant amount of us Pokémon fans that have been waiting to see their forms for months. Thankfully, according to a major leak drop for the game over a week before launch, we might finally have a first glimpse at the shiny starters!

Avid Pokémon fan and data leaker @BallGuyLEAKS revealed plenty of information about the upcoming game, including images of the starters Oshawott, Rowlett, and Cyndaquil and all their forms. The Tweets (shown below) are, at the moment, unconfirmed. While it's unlikely for it to be inaccurate, this means that this information will only be guaranteed when the game is released on Jan. 28, 2022.

UPDATE 1/20/22: Many of the Tweets that highlight the leaked information have been deleted, including the Tweets mentioned below. We will be sure to update this page if the information is made available again!

The shiny forms shown above appear to be based on the Hisuian forms of the starters, which all come from different generations of Pokémon games. This makes the news that much more exciting, since their final forms will all have features that represent their new secondary types. Having that mixed in with their shiny forms seems to result in some surprising new iterations of these classic Pokémon!
