Pokemon Sword - Nintendo Switch

A new era of Pokémon is dawning on the Nintendo Switch system. As a Pokémon Trainer, you are invited to embark on an unprecedented journey in the fresh Galar region, where the enigma of the Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta awaits your discovery! The Wild Area, a sprawling landmass where you have full control over the camera, offers a new level of exploration in the Pokémon universe. In this expansive Wild Area, you can participate in Max Raid Battles, where you will confront gigantic and extraordinarily powerful Pokémon known as Dynamax Pokémon. These battles represent a new pinnacle of challenge in the Pokémon world, requiring strategic teamwork and powerful moves to overcome.

Your adventure begins with the choice of one of three new partner Pokémon: Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble. Each of these partners offers unique abilities and strengths that will shape your journey in different ways. As you traverse the Galar region, you will encounter both new and familiar Pokémon, engaging in exciting battles and trading to expand your collection.

The Wild Area is not just a place to battle and capture Pokémon, but also a space where you can explore vast landscapes. With control over the camera, you can discover hidden nooks and crannies, find rare items, and perhaps even stumble upon a few surprises.

The new multiplayer co-op Max Raid Battles are another highlight of the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games. By teaming up with other players locally or online, you can take on the most formidable Dynamax Pokémon together. Trainers who possess the special item, the Dynamax Band, have the ability to Dynamax their own Pokémon, adding an extra layer of strategy to these intense battles.

Prepare yourself for the next chapter in the Pokémon saga with the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games. These games represent a significant evolution in the beloved series, offering new gameplay mechanics, a captivating storyline, and a vibrant world to explore. Whether you’re a seasoned Pokémon Trainer or new to the world of Pokémon, these games promise an adventure unlike any other.
