Pokemon Sword & Shield Direct – All You Need to Know

svgJun 5, 2019NewsJoelle

Pokemon Sword and Shield is an adventure game to become a Pokemon Champion. New grasslands and many other new locations are filled with trainers and Pokemon working together. You will need to fight in special gyms throughout the new region that will allow your Pokemon to Dynamax. Battles with two Dynamax Pokemon will cause the energy and excitement in the stadium to reach its peak with the audience. See below for everything you need to know about the Pokemon Direct hosted by Nintendo today.

New Pokemon

Wooloo: is defined by its fluffy fair that is traded by weavers in a town in the Gallow region. They use it to graft popular specialty goods.

Gossifleur: a Flowering Pokemon that favors places with clean air and water. Its pollen is said to have healing properties. When Gossifleur evolves, it becomes Eldegoss. There are now small seeds scattered around its fuzzy head. These seeds are said to promote growth in plants and can revitalize both people and Pokemon.

Drednaw: the Bite Pokemon. The sharp and jagged edges of its jaw allow it to bite off chunks of rock and iron. Its vicious nature makes it a difficult Pokemon to tame for all but the most experienced of trainers.

Corviknight: can be seen flying steadily through the sky. It puts its skills to use when working as a flying taxi. It will take the player back to any town they have previously visited.

The Legendary Pokemon: they are Zacian and Zamazenta but you will have to wait to find out what role they play in the game.

New Region

In the Galar Region, a place to go for many wild Pokemon is in the Wild Area. This Wild Area stretches between cities and is filled with abundant nature as far as the eye can see. Different Pokemon can appear depending on where you are and what the weather is like. Meaning, there will be new discoveries for you each day.

Dynamaxing

Some Pokemon can now grow in size and gain tremendous strength. This new feature will offer more strategy options in battle. All the moves they know turn more powerful. Dynamaxing can only be used once per battle. However, the Pokemon will revert to normal after three turns. Therefore, you need to choose wisely when to trigger it.

Max Raid Battles

Four Pokemon trainers can join together in a multiplayer battle (using local wireless or online) to challenge wild Dynamax Pokemon. In these battles, the wild Dynamax Pokemon keeps its form during the entire battle and has special powers that make it an extremely formidable opponent. Only one of the four players can Dynamax their Pokemon in these battles so coordinating with your team is crucial. If your team emerges victorious, you get the chance to catch these Dynmax Pokemon! The different types of Pokemon you can fight in battle will also vary depending on where you are and the state of the weather.

New Characters

Leon: current champion of the Galar Region and holds an undefeated record. His shining personality also gains him popularity and the adoration of trainers across the region. The champion’s younger brother is actually one of your rivals.

Hop: dreams of one day becoming champion just like his elder brother Leon. He trains vigorously every day toward this goal. His journey in the Galar region will begin on the same day as yours.

Professor Magnolia: a researcher that specializes in the Dynamax phenomenon.

Sonia: Is magnolia’s granddaughter and also serves as her assistant. Their wisdom and sound advice will come in handy during your adventure.

Milo: is a Grass-type expert. This gym leader is all about enjoying battles with his trusty Pokemon. You will have to fight him and his tenacious fighting style to continue your journey.
