Hisuian Typhlosion is finally available in Pokemon Go, but fans have noticed a major error with its 3D model, except for its Shiny form.

Pokemon Go recently added Hisuian Typhlosion as part of Raids, allowing players to overcome this powerful Fire/Ghost-type Pokemon in battle and possibly add it to their team.

Hisuian Typhlosion was introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus as an alternate final evolution form for Cyndaquil, one of the three Starter Pokemon featured in the game. Hisuian Typhlosion would become compatible with Pokemon Home, allowing it to be transferred into other games.

The fact that Hisuian Typhlosion was introduced so recently means that there should be detailed character models for Niantic to use for Pokemon Go. It seems there are some gremlins in the code, however, as fans have noticed an issue with Hisuian Typhlosion in Pokemon Go.

Hisuian Typhlosion’s eyes are incorrect in Pokemon Go (except for its Shiny form)

A user on the Pokemon Go Reddit has created a thread pointing out a major issue with Hisuian Typhlosion in Pokemon Go. Hisuian Typholsion’s eyes don’t work properly, as the right one moves independently of the other.

This issue is restricted to the normal version of the Pokemon, as fans have noticed that Shiny Hisuian Typhlosion’s eyes are working correctly, confirming that this is a bug.

Users on The Silph Road Reddit also noticed the issue and had plenty to say about the issues with Hisuian Typhlosion. “I had a feeling there was something different from the usual Legend Arceus model,” one user wrote, “But I couldn’t tell what precisely. I guess that’s it, LOL.”

As this is a visual glitch, it shouldn’t take long for Niantic to release a fix. The issue is also helped by Hisuian Typhlosion, who often stands with one side forward, making it harder to notice the problem without examining its character model.

It’s unclear how this bug happened, but now that fans have spotted it, they should report it to Niantic Support, where it will hopefully be resolved in a future update, ensuring that Hisuian Typhlosion’s eyes are amended for people who caught it during a Raid.
