The latest trailer has been released for Pokémon Legends: Arceus!
The Hisui region’s two clans: the Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan
The Hisui region isn’t just home to the Galaxy Team, which you’ll join. Two other groups also live here: the Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan!
The people of the Diamond Clan often speak of how important it is to cherish the present and live in the moment together with your allies. On the other hand, members of the Pearl Clan are frequently heard espousing the importance of valuing the vast, spacious land you share with those around you.
Both of these groups worship a deity long spoken of in the Hisui region, which they call almighty Sinnoh. Yet both clans have their own interpretation of this deity they revere, and it seems that their conflicting beliefs have led them to strife in the past. What is the true form of almighty Sinnoh?

Both the Diamond and Pearl Clans Have Wardens
Although the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan disagree on many of their beliefs, they seem to nevertheless share many similarities. Both clans don clothing designed to resemble certain Pokémon, and both pay respects to special Pokémon they call lords and ladies—or collectively, noble Pokémon.
And both the Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan have wardens who serve these special Pokémon. For example, the warden Arezu—who serves a certain lady Pokémon—is a member of the Diamond Clan. But Warden Lian—the warden serving Kleavor, the lord presiding over the Obsidian Fieldlands—is a member of the Pearl Clan.
