Other Pokémon

On hand

Before forming a sync pair with Hisuian Samurott, Akari tried to form a sync pair with her Pikachu, but was unable to, as sync stones don't work well with Hisuian Poké Balls. She also mentions that some other Pokémon came with her from Hisui as well, but the identities of these Pokémon are not known.

Pikachu ♂

Trivia

• Akari is based on the NPC character from Pokémon Legends: Arceus, as she was the one who help mentored Rei when he first appeared in Hisui.
• As shown during the story event Together in an Unknown Land, Akari caught her Hisuian Samurott in a space-time distortion shortly before arriving on Pasio.
• All versions of Akari use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon) and victory with them. Those Trainers include Rei, Adaman, and Irida.
• May, Akari, Elaine, and Chase are the only player characters who have never been able to be battled in Pokémon Masters EX.

Origin

Akari's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Hisuian Samurott is the final evolution of Oshawott, one of the first partner Pokémon of Hisui in the core series. Hisuian Samurott's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
