After the premiere of The Isle of Armor this June, the Galar region ends its content expansion process with this second area, a snow-covered area in the open world with a new game mode, characters, stories and Pokémon to capture .
All the news of Las Nieves de la Corona
Our mission in this territory, somewhat remote from the Galar archipelago, is to discover all the secrets that are hidden behind so much snow and low temperatures. The inhabitants of this icy area, surrounded by mountains, live in small communities, helping each other. At the beginning of the adventure we will meet Peony, who light the Las Nieves de la Corona exploration group.
Our mission? Investigate the territory and visit new Pokémon nests to wage new Max Raid Battles. This is one of the main novelties of this new Expansion Pass: we will be able to explore the depths of the Raids … and in company; specifically, in games with up to four players. In addition, the Snows of the Crown includes new outfits for the Trainer and new Pokémon that will expand Galar’s Pokédex with about 100 creatures; In total, the figure will remain at about 600 Pokémon within the universe of Pokémon Sword and Shield for Nintendo Switch.
Another novelty is the Estrellas de Galar Tournament, with which we will be able to face great stars of the region by teams; from trainers to Gym leaders, High Command members and more. The return of many of the legendary species of the previous seven generations (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and Alola) represents a considerable increase over what we have seen so far in Galar.
Everyone here!
