After making anannouncement on Twitter earlier this week,Pokemon Sword and Shieldhas received a new trailer. The trailer introduces Galarian form Pokemon, new rivals you will encounter on your journey, and the group who will be a threat to the Galar region.
For those unaware, Galarian form Pokemon are redesigns of Pokemon from previous generations. This was first introduced inPokemonSunandMoonwith Alolan form Pokemon. In the trailer, Wheezing, Zigzagoon, and Linoone are the three whose Galarian forms are shown. On top of that, Zigzagoon is receiving a third stage of evolution called Obstagoon.
With the introduction of Galarian form, there will also be a new form-change Pokemon. Reminiscent of a hamster, Morpeko can change into two different forms. In the trailer, we see it in its “Full Belly Mode.” In tise mode, it attacks opponents using an Electric-Type move called Aura Wheel. Morpeko’s second known form is “Hangry Mode,” where it changes color and its eyes turn red. While in Hangry Mode, Aura Wheel turns into a Dark-type move. As of now, we do not know what makes Morpeko change form.
When it comes to enemies, Team Yell is the new group that you must fight inSwordandShield. From what we know, Marnie wants to become the new Champion and Team Yell will do whatever it takes to make her goal a reality. Another new trainer shown is Bede, but we know nothing as of yet regarding their motivations.
For the past few months, we have received new trailersfull of informationforSwordandShield. Back in June, we were able toplay the game at E3where we challenged Gym Leader Nessa in her Water gym. For me, I haven’t beenthis excited for a Pokemon game in a long timeand everything seems to be shaping together nicely.
