An ancient Pokemon will finally arrive in Pokemon Go, as Hisuian Samurott will appear in 3-Star Raids during its upcoming December 2023 Raid Day event.

Pokemon Go has already hosted many of the Hisuian variant Pokemon, which debuted in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, as they existed in the olden days of the Sinnoh region. These Pokemon have since reappeared in modern times and can be used in Pokemon Go and the Gen 9 games.

Hisuian Samurott is a Water/Dark-type Pokemon, which means it has significant weaknesses to Fighting, Bug, Grass, Electric, and Fairy-type moves. This Pokemon also resists attacks from Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Ice, Dark, and Psychic-type Pokemon, giving it many strengths and weaknesses.

Those strong enough to overcome Hisuian Samurott can add it to their teams. Luckily, Niantic has announced on the Pokemon Go website that Hisuian Samurott will receive a Raid Day in December 2023, giving players a brief window to add this ancient Pokemon to their team.
