Hoopa Unbound, a new form of the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, was officially announced by The Pokémon Company International today. A video featuring Hoopa’s new form can be found below.
Hoopa is a Mythical Pokémon that you cannot meet through ordinary gameplay in the world of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. It is the 720th Pokémon to be added to the Pokédex, and it would appear that it can change form.
Hoopa Unbound is the new and truest form of Hoopa, which until now has had its power sealed away. The rings it carries have the power to bend dimensions and are said to allow it to seize anything in the world.
After its transformation, Hoopa Unbound is far larger than it was in its previous appearance. It is easy to recognize by its six huge arms, and it is carrying a greater number of its signature dimension-bending rings.
Hoopa Unbound stats:
- Category: Djinn Pokémon
- Type: Psychic/Dark
- Height: 21′ 04″ [6.5 m]
- Weight: 1,080.3 lbs. [490.0 kg]
- Ability: Magician
How does Hoopa regain its true form? As with the secret of meeting Hoopa itself, this mystery has yet to be solved…
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire launched in November 2014. Pokémon fans can collect, battle and trade Pokémon as they travel throughout the rich natural beauty of the Hoenn region.
Details of exactly how to meet Hoopa have yet to be revealed, so be sure to also visit Pokemon.com/omegaalpha, like the official Pokémon Facebook page at Facebook.com/Pokemon, and follow Pokémon on Twitter @Pokemon to receive the latest Pokémon news.
