Hisuian Starters & Early Forms
The item Ancient Teachings is essential for obtaining the Hisuian versions of the starter Pokemon. It functions similarly to how evolution stones work for other species.
To transform your traditional starters into their Hisuian counterparts, you must locate the specific item and apply it to the correct evolutionary stage.
| Pokemon | Evolution Method | Required Item | Location Hint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hisuian Typhlosion | Use on Quilava | Ancient Teachings | See locations below |
| Hisuian Decidueye | Use on Dartrix | Ancient Teachings | See locations below |
| Hisuian Samurott | Use on Dewott | Ancient Teachings | See locations below |
Acquire Ancient Teachings
Find the item in Goldenleaf (post-Narcissa), Carotos Mountain (V.G.C.R. Key), Hidden Library (West Wing), or Axis Factory (Registeel area).
Select Mid-Evolution
Ensure your starter is in its middle stage: Quilava, Dartrix, or Dewott. It will not work on the basic or final forms.
Use the Item
Open your bag and use Ancient Teachings on the Pokemon. This will trigger the transformation into the Hisuian form immediately.
Typhlosion
- Fire/Ghost typing
- Unique movepool
- High Sp. Atk
Decidueye
- Grass/Fighting typing
- Stealthy striker
- Physical attacker
Samurott
- Water/Dark typing
- Signature move
- Aggressive style
Check your current game version. Some players reported receiving the item earlier via bugs, but the standard requirement is beating Narcissa.
Wild Encounters & Evolutions
Several Hisuian forms can be found in the wild or require specific stones and locations to evolve. Tracking these down requires visiting diverse environments ranging from mountains to digital rifts.
| Pokemon | Type | Location | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growlithe | Fire | Valor Mountain, Badlands | Evolve with Fire Stone |
| Zorua | Ghost/Dark | Cubi Excellus (Ruins) | Found in wild, puzzle |
| Voltorb | Electric/Grass | Tyluric Temple | Evolve with Leaf Stone |
| Qwilfish | Dark/Poison | Route 6 (Whirlpool) | Use Stabilizer, level with Barb Barrage |
To find Hisuian Zorua, head to the ruins under Carotos (Cubi Excellus). Solve the statue pushing puzzle to encounter them. Afterward, they spawn in Evergreen Forest.
For Hisuian Goodra and Overqwil, specific conditions apply to their evolution methods.
Hisuian Overqwil requires a Hisuian Qwilfish to know the move Barb Barrage. You must level it up while holding a Stabilizer. The Stabilizer is found inside the base on Helojak Island.
Hisuian Goodra involves two steps. First, catch a Goomy in the Kingdom of Goomidra. Level it up in that specific area to evolve into Hisuian Sliggoo. Then, simply level up the Sliggoo again to reach the final form.
Basculegion requires a White-Striped Basculin. Use the Super Rod in the "3rd layer" (the late-game area where Melia's group splits paths) to find it.
Special Item Evolutions
Some of the most powerful Hisuian forms rely on rare items or specific move sets. These often require exploration of late-game dungeons or completing side quests.
| Pokemon | Required Item/Move | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kleavor | Black Augurite | Building where you save Oshawott | Use on Scyther |
| Wyrdeer | Psyshield Bash | Various | Level up Stantler knowing move |
| Avalugg | Fire Stone | Mount Terajuma or Item | Use on Bergmite |
| Sneasler | Razor Claw (Day) | Syxten Bit Cave (Eclysia Pyramid) | Overworld sprite, digital world |
Find Black Augurite
Go to the specific building where the Oshawott rescue mission occurs. Search thoroughly for the Black Augurite item on the ground.
Capture Scyther
Catch a regular Scyther if you do not have one already.
Evolve
Use the Black Augurite from your bag on the Scyther to obtain the Bug/Rock type Kleavor.
Sneasler is found in the digital world inside the Eclysia Pyramid, specifically in Syxten Bit cave. It appears as an overworld sprite, not a random encounter. You must level it up with a Razor Claw during the day.
Hisuian Avalugg offers flexibility. You can use a Fire Stone on a normal Bergmite, or simply level up a Bergmite at Mount Terajuma according to the Pokedex entry.
Unavailable Forms & Checklist
Not every Hisuian form discovered in official titles is currently accessible in Pokemon Rejuvenation. It is important to manage expectations regarding specific Pokemon like Ursaluna.
| Pokemon | Status | Rumors |
|---|---|---|
| Ursaluna | Unavailable | Peat Block exists? |
| Wyrdeer | Available | Standard evolution |
| Braviary | Available | Level up Rufflet on Evergreen Island |
Despite rumors circulating in the community, Ursaluna is not available in the current version. Claims of finding the Peat Block are often hoaxes or relate to unreleased content.
Hisuian Collection Goals:
- Obtain Ancient Teachings item
- Evolve starter trio into Hisuian forms
- Solve puzzle in Cubi Excellus for Zorua
- Find Black Augurite for Kleavor
- Catch White-Striped Basculin in 3rd layer
Referencing the community forum on Reborn Evolved confirms that while some items exist, the evolution logic for Ursaluna remains incomplete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I get Hisuian forms before beating the main story?
Most Hisuian forms require access to mid-to-late game areas. Starters require beating Narcissa to get Ancient Teachings, and others like Basculegion require reaching the late-game '3rd layer'.
Q: Where is the best place to find Ancient Teachings?
The easiest method is completing the Bad Luck quest for Mr. Luck outside the Goldenleaf Gym. Alternatively, check the Hidden Library's west wing during its associated quest.
Q: Is Ursaluna in Pokemon Rejuvenation?
No, Ursaluna is currently not obtainable. Although some players claim to have found the Peat Block, it is generally considered a hoax or unfinished content in the current version.
Q: How do I evolve Goomy into Hisuian Goodra?
Catch a Goomy in the Kingdom of Goomidra. Level it up while inside that kingdom to evolve it into Hisuian Sliggoo. Then, level up the Sliggoo again to get Hisuian Goodra.
