The next video games in the iconic Pok\\xe9mon series, Pok\\xe9mon Sword and Pok\\xe9mon Shield, are now available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch™ systems. As the first core Pok\\xe9mon RPGs to launch on Nintendo Switch systems, Pok\\xe9mon Sword and Pok\\xe9mon Shield include a new region to explore, new Pok\\xe9mon to discover, and new ways for Pok\\xe9mon fans to play.

\\n\\n

A New Region to Explore\\u2014Dive into the Galar region for the first time! Trainers can explore a region with an idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains.\\n
The Dynamax and Gigantamax Phenomenon\\u2014In the Galar region, Pok\\xe9mon can Dynamax, taking on gigantic appearances during battle. When Pok\\xe9mon Dynamax, their power is boosted, and they become much more difficult to catch\\u2014and to take down. In very rare occurrences, some Pok\\xe9mon can go one step further by Gigantamaxing. When Pok\\xe9mon Gigantamax, they not only become bigger but also alter their appearance and use powerful G-Max Moves that regular Dynamax Pok\\xe9mon cannot use. \\n
Traverse the Wild Area\\u2014The Wild Area is a vast expanse of untamed wilderness in the Galar region that stretches between the region\\u2019s different towns and cities. Here, Trainers will find a wide variety of wild Pok\\xe9mon to battle and catch. The types of Pok\\xe9mon that can be found in the Wild Area and the situations in which Trainers can battle them can even change depending on in-game weather conditions. \\n
Team Up for Max Raid Battles\\u2014While battling Pok\\xe9mon in the Wild Area, Trainers can take part in a new battle format called Max Raid Battles. These are epic multiplayer battles in which up to four Trainers band together to catch a wild Dynamax Pok\\xe9mon.\\n
Three New First Partner Pok\\xe9mon\\u2014Get to know one of three first partner Pok\\xe9mon: the Grass-type Chimp Pok\\xe9mon Grookey, the Fire-type Rabbit Pok\\xe9mon Scorbunny, or the Water-type Water Lizard Pok\\xe9mon Sobble. \\n
A Myriad of New Pok\\xe9mon to Discover\\u2014The Galar region is host to its own unique Pok\\xe9mon ecology, from the Sheep Pok\\xe9mon, Wooloo, which provides the wool for goods in Galar, to the Grass-type Flowering Pok\\xe9mon, Gossifleur, which has pollen that is used in medicine, to many Galarian forms of beloved Pok\\xe9mon from other regions!\\n
New Legendary Pok\\xe9mon\\u2014The Galar region is home to two mysterious Legendary Pok\\xe9mon: Zacian and Zamazenta. Zacian holds a sword in its mouth and attacks with grace, while Zamazenta\\u2019s shield-covered body turns back most attacks and its regal movements overwhelm opponents. \\n
Relax Using Pok\\xe9mon Camp\\u2014There are ways to train and increase the bond with a Pok\\xe9mon beyond battles. You can set up camp almost anywhere to have fun with your Pok\\xe9mon. Play with them using a variety of toys, cook and enjoy different curries together (a popular dish in the region), and even visit other players\\u2019 camps. \\n
