Hisuian Voltorb, like its modern counterpart, resemble the [[Apricorn]]-made {{OBP|Poké Ball|Hisui}}s of the time period — both appear to be made of a grainy, woodlike substance, with a glossy surface and a hole on top. On the inside, Hisuian Voltorb's body contains numerous seeds, but it has been impossible to examine its interior due to it being pitch-black.<ref name=LAsite/> Hisuian Voltorb has a distinctive red wooden unibrow. Despite its resemblance to a Poké Ball, it can be inferred that Hisuian Voltorb's existence predates the device's invention, as evidenced by the fact that the ancient hero of Hisui legend had an {{p|Electrode}} companion which would become the ancestor of the region's [[Noble Pokémon|noble]] Electrode.

Hisuian Voltorb can store electric currents in its belly, which it discharges all at once from its hole. Unlike Kantonian Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb have friendly and excitable temperaments, which leads them to cluster around people, causing them to be a nuisance when they discharge. It is known to let out a great, uproarious laugh whenever it discharges. There are stories of people temporarily plugging the holes of Hisuian Voltorb to prevent them from discharging before removing them from their settlements.<ref name=LAsite>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231210173514/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/voltorb/ Hisuian Voltorb | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website] (archived December 10, 2023).</ref>
