❗️ New Pokémon have been discovered ❗️

Introducing the Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta!

These Pokémon are shrouded in mystery and are even unknown to those who live in the Galar region...

#PokemonSwordShield

⚔️🛡️ bit.ly/2WhUFFw
Zacian attacks so gracefully that its movements can even captivate its opponents.

It holds what appears to be a sword in its mouth… ⚔️

#PokemonSwordShield
Zamazenta’s regal and majestic movements overwhelm any opponents that dare face it.

Its body is covered in what seems to be a shield... 🛡️

#PokemonSwordShield
Wondering about life in Galar? Here’s what we’ve learned so far:

If you’re looking for a job in this region, you might be surprised to find that your coworkers could be Pokémon! Many companies in Galar include Pokémon as part of their workforce.

#PokemonSwordShield
Another unique characteristic part of Galarian culture: Pokémon battles are regarded as the most popular form of entertainment across the whole region!

#PokemonSwordShield

⚔️🛡️ bit.ly/2WpxZrU
As a resident of the Galar region, you’ll meet many different people and Pokémon on your journey to become the Champion!

First things first: customize your appearance, and then you’ll be on your way.

#PokemonSwordShield
Leon is the Champion of Galar. He’s never been defeated in an official Pokémon battle.

His personality, together with his peerless skill, has made him extremely popular. He’s referred to as “the greatest Trainer in all of Galar.”

Think you can change that? #PokemonSwordShield
Hop is Leon’s younger brother. He’s your neighbor...and will become one of your rivals!

He aims to become Champion, just like his older brother did.

#PokemonSwordShield
Time to meet our new Pokémon Professor!

Professor Magnolia is the preeminent Pokémon Professor of the Galar region. Her main focus of research has been the mysterious Dynamax phenomenon...

#PokemonSwordShield
Meet Sonia, Trainers. She’s the granddaughter of Professor Magnolia and is Leon’s childhood friend. She’s also a young researcher, serving as assistant to Professor Magnolia.

She’s very knowledgeable and will offer advice to aid you on your adventure!

#PokemonSwordShield
If you want to become Champion, you’ll have to take on the Pokémon Gyms found around the region in your quest to reach the pinnacle of the Pokémon League to attain the title of Champion for yourself!

#PokemonSwordShield

⚔️🛡️ bit.ly/2WpxZrU
Between fan art, cosplay, memes, and more—you’ve made it clear that you’re interested in learning more about the first three Pokémon you encounter in this region, Trainers!

Let’s take a closer look at Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble! 🍃 🔥 💧

#PokemonSwordShield
This one’s for you, #GrookeyGang.

We’ve been working closely with Professor Magnolia, and our research has uncovered some stats on Grookey! 🍃

#PokemonSwordShield
The stick held by Grookey was originally a branch from the forest where troops of Grookey live. It gained special powers after being exposed to the energy within Grookey’s body.

#GrookeyGang Roll Call ⬇️🍃

#PokemonSwordShield
All right, #ScorbunnySquad, now it’s your turn. Get ready for stats on Scorbunny! 🔥

#PokemonSwordShield
Scorbunny uses its powerful legs to run and jump around its opponents. The soles of its feet can become very hot, so watch out for those kicks!

#ScorbunnySquad, get ready! 🔥

#PokemonSwordShield
Last (and most anxious) but certainly not least—let’s take a closer look at Sobble! 💧

#SobbleSquad, report in.

#PokemonSwordShield
Sobble Facts:

✅ When Sobble touches water, its body blends into its surroundings.
✅ Sobble is...a bit timid.
✅ If Sobble feels threatened, it will cry and cause everyone nearby to start crying as well.

Please protect this Pokémon, #SobbleSquad. 💧

#PokemonSwordShield
Here's the deal: we’re working daily to uncover more information about the Pokémon calling Galar home.

There are many things we don’t yet know about the biology of these Pokémon, but we’d like to share what we’ve discovered so far. *checks list*

⚔️🛡️bit.ly/2MvykVp
Gossifleur prefers lands with clean water and air, and its pollen has a healing effect.

It travels over long distances by getting blown along by the wind and can control the direction of its travels by twisting its body and petals.

#PokemonSwordShield
When Gossifleur evolves into Eldegoss, its head becomes covered in thick cotton fluff, which helps protect its head from damage.

The tiny seeds attached to the cotton fluff are said to be highly nutritious and beneficial to both people and Pokémon.

#PokemonSwordShield
Meet Wooloo! The white fur is used for clothing and carpets and is a specialty product of the Galar region.

They dislike conflict, and if they need to escape from enemies, they will simply roll away.

#PokemonSwordShield
Corviknight is said to be the strongest Pokémon living in the skies of the Galar region.

Corviknight possess superb flying skills and high intelligence. Because of this, many work for the company called Galar Taxi, helping transport people from town to town.

#PokemonSwordShield
(As an aside, we’re really interested in getting a ride from Galar Taxi. Who else is in? 🚕)

#PokemonSwordShield
The sharp, jagged fangs of the Bite Pokémon Drednaw are sharp enough to bite through rock and iron.

Drednaw is known to be extremely vicious, and it takes a skilled Trainer to tame and handle this Pokémon! Are you up for the challenge?

#PokemonSwordShield
In tall grass or caves, battles with wild Pokémon will occur when you run into Pokémon that you can see wandering around.

You can also trigger battles by running into the ❗️ icon that will pop up in patches of tall grass.

#PokemonSwordShield
All right, Trainers, let’s talk #Dynamax.

Dynamax is a phenomenon unique to specific locations in Galar, where Pokémon are able to take on gigantic appearances. Pokémon from Galar are capable of Dynamaxing, and Dynamax Pokémon become tremendously strong!

#PokemonSwordShield
The Dynamax phenomenon is an integral part of Pokémon battles in the Galar region. Dynamax Pokémon don’t just become bigger—they get a boost in power as well.

They return to normal after three turns. Think carefully on when to trigger the Dynamax phenomenon!

#PokemonSwordShield
Additional info we’ve discovered about Dynamax:

❗️ You can only Dynamax your Pokémon in specific locations of the Galar region, like the Pokémon Gym’s stadiums.
❗️ You can only Dynamax your Pokémon once per battle!

#PokemonSwordShield

⚔️🛡️ bit.ly/31a07xE
Naturally, the Dynamax phenomenon is the topic of much research in the Galar region. A special item known as the Dynamax Band is the product of these findings.

Only Trainers who possess a Dynamax Band are able to Dynamax their Pokémon.

#PokemonSwordShield
A Dynamax Pokémon’s moves will turn into special Max Moves. Max Moves pack a punch, and some of them can even trigger powerful additional effects!

The Max Moves your Pokémon can use are determined by the kinds and types of moves they knew before Dynamaxing.

#PokemonSwordShield
You’ve never seen a Gym battle like this!

Battles between Gym Leaders of Pokémon Gyms throughout Galar often involve intense clashes between Dynamax Pokémon. Spectators flock to the Gyms’ stadiums to view these battles. Matches are broadcast on TV, too.

#PokemonSwordShield
One of those Gym Leaders is the kindhearted Milo, who specializes in Grass-type Pokémon. 🍃

His credo is to always enjoy battles, and he is well liked by the Trainers in his Gym.

#PokemonSwordShield
There is a vast expanse of land in the Galar region which is known as the Wild Area. It's full of nature and connects several different towns and cities.

You’ll find a greater variety of Pokémon living here than anywhere else in the Galar region.

⚔️🛡️ bit.ly/2Z27u8G
The Wild Area can be reached through various towns and cities, and it seems the Pokémon you’ll run into changes depending on the weather or location.

While in the Wild Area, you can control the camera to explore around you and search for Pokémon and items.

#PokemonSwordShield
Worried about battling Dynamax Pokémon?

Enter Max Raid Battles. Team up with three other Trainers and take on a wild Dynamax Pokémon. Defeat it, and you’ll have a chance to catch it.

However, the wild Dynamax Pokémon will remain in their giant form for the entire battle.
Max Raid Battle Tips:

❗️ The wild Dynamax Pokémon you’ll face in Max Raid Battles vary based on where you are in the Wild Area or the weather.
❗️ The weather in the Wild Area changes every day, so you may meet a variety of Pokémon each time you visit.

#PokemonSwordShield
You can join up with people near you to participate in Max Raid Battles, but you can also connect to Pokémon Trainers around the world online and face Dynamax Pokémon together!

#PokemonSwordShield
That’s all we’ve got for now, Trainers. We’ll let you know when we’ve uncovered more new discoveries about this region.

In the meantime, we want to hear from you! What are you most excited to learn about in #PokemonSwordShield?

⚔️🛡️

Wild Pokémon thrive in the Lental region. Environments differ greatly between islands, making for a variety of habitats.

While you explore the region and study Pokémon, you may also observe unique aspects of Lental’s ecosystem. #NewPokemonSnap

As you keep researching a course, your research level there will increase.

At higher levels, Pokémon may display new expressions and behaviors—which are important for your photo scores! Be sure to look for photo opportunities everywhere so you don't miss out on a great shot.
Your Pokémon snapshots will be scored from one to four stars depending on how rare the Pokémon’s behavior is.

If you see a Pokémon doing something that catches your eye, that’s your cue to snap a photo! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#PokemonLegendsArceus takes place in the Sinnoh region long before the events of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.

The story unfolds in a long-gone era, before the idea of being a Pokémon Trainer or having a Pokémon League even existed.

bit.ly/3uAaqtL
All around, you’ll find Pokémon living wild in harsh environments that make for a Sinnoh unlike the region you may remember. You’ll need to catch, survey, and research the wild Pokémon of Sinnoh to create the region’s first Pokedex.

#PokemonLegendsArceus
#PokemonLegendsArceus takes the series in a new direction, fusing action with RPG elements.

As you explore, you’ll encounter Pokémon in the wild—observe their behavior, then sneak up, aim your Poké Ball, and throw! Your ally Pokémon can also battle Pokémon you hope to catch.
