The Decidueye Shiny variant pays tribute to the original evolution in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Honoring the past.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the latest entry in the long-running Pokémon franchise, one that promises to deviate from the traditional formula of the franchise. Players will now explore the famous Hisui region in an era long passed. The Hisui region offers new forms for several familiar Pokémon from the franchise, and the most recent leaks suggest that the starters have new forms as well. While the new final evolutions of Hisui's starters deviate from the original designs, supposedly shiny variants honor the original design, including Decidueye.

While Decidueye's most recent variant brandishes yellow, red, and brown feathers, the Shiny form's color pattern is almost identical to the original Alolan Decidueye. The design may differ, but it's clear that the inspiration came from the first form of this popular owl Pokémon. You can find an image of the Hisuian Decidueye below.

The new Decidueye is said to be a Grass / Fighting-type instead of Alola's Grass / Ghost combination, offering a substantial change in how this partner Pokémon will perform in battle.
