About this item
A new generation of Pokemon is coming to the Nintendo Switch system
Become a Pokemon Trainer and embark on a new journey in the new Galar region
Choose from one of three new partner Pokemon: Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble
In this all new adventure, you'll encounter new and familiar Pokemon as you catch, battle, and trade Pokemon while exploring new areas and uncovering an all-new story
Get ready for the next Pokemon adventure in the Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield games
The Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield games take place in the Galar region. Galar is an expansive region with diverse environments- an idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forest, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. The people and the Pokemon who live there work together closely to develop the industries in the region. Fans will have the opportunity to visit various Gyms in the Galar region in their quest to become Champion. They will not be alone, since the newly discovered Pokemon they choose to be their first partner will be by their side. The adventure begins in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield when players choose one of three new Pokemon-Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble. Grookey, a Grass-type Chimp Pokemon, is mischievous and full of boundless curiosity. Bursting with energy, Scorbunny, a Fire-type Rabbit Pokemon, is always running about. The stealthy Sobble, a Water-type Water Lizard Pokemon, shoots out attacks as it hides itself in water.
From the manufacturer
Pokémon become huge with Dynamax & Gigantamax
Dynamaxing!
Dynamax is a phenomenon unique to specific locations in the Galar region, where Pokémon are able to take on gigantic appearances. Dynamax Pokémon become tremendously strong and their stats get a boost but they will return to normal after three turns.
Gigantamaxing!
Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax—and even among such species, only rare specimens will be able to. Gigantamax Pokémon become bigger and it boosts the power of the Pokémon. It also allows each Gigantamax Pokémon to use a unique move known as a G-Max Move!

It’s a great game story line wise and has good graphics. It was a bit easy though I had like one challenging battle and as for the Pokédex cut you barely even notice there are still 400 pokemon and this is better if you’re a new player as there aren’t so many Pokémon to choose to use. Anyways I’d recommend getting it, it was a good game

Pokemon Shield is the epic console RPG sequel we were all waiting for ever since rumours of Pokemon RPG on the big screen on n64 many years past. This time Victor/Gloria arrived in UK themed Galar region on a mission to build a pokemon team to take down Team Yell & 8 Gym leaders to challenge Leon for the Champion's Cup. Highlights this time are Team Yell's plots & scheming just like Team Rocket before them, diverse settings from the misty woods of Slumbering Weald, country side fields castle Hammerlock, tunnels of Galar Mine & high mountains of Chirchester, greatly expanded Wild Areas, Dynamaxing & Gigantamaxing pokemon towering above and type based training Gyms with new leaders Milo, Nessa, Bea & co, just like Brock & co before them.
