The confirmation of an Expansion Pass for these editions will mean the return of 200 Pokémon from previous generations of the saga.
The Pokémon Direct of this past January 9 left a lot of information for the future of the eighth generation of Pokémon, with the Sword and Shield editions as the main protagonists. This time there will not be a third edition; there will not be an extended version but an Expansion Pass divided into two adventures: The Island of Armor (June) and The Snows of the Crown (Autumn).
Each of them will consist of hours of play through new territories, new game modes, accessories, Wild Areas and a hundred Pokémon from previous generations. Each of the two expansions will bring 100 new Pokémon of yesteryear that are not present in the editions of Pokémon Sword and Shield (they can be obtained through exchange or Pokémon HOME if we do not buy the Expansion Pass), a list of which already We know more than 80 creatures, including new regional forms and completely new Pokémon from Galar.
The snows of the crown (autumn)
New Pokémon discovered in Galar (DLC)
We begin with the new names, those that correspond indigenously to Galar and do not belong to the regional Galar of Sword of Sword and Shield:
- Kubfu
- Urshifu (Abrupt Style)
- Urshifo (Fluid Style)
- Calyrex
Urshifu (Abrupt Style) and Urshifo (Fluid Style)
Kubfu is the Pokémon Kung-fu. We will see it on The Island of Armor this June. According to the official description, this Lucha-like creature, “although Galar used to be his home, Kubfu now lives in a mountainous territory far away from this region. There are historical documents that affirm that this species used to travel to unexplored lands alongside humans who sought to trade and explore. It is said that the Kubfu of now are the result of adaptation to the distant lands that their ancestors visited and explored, and that is why they currently live so far away. ”
It will have two evolutions, two ways for Urshifu. The Abrupt Style will be Sinister Fight, while the Fluid Style will be Water type. Both have Gigamax shapes.
Finally, Calyrex, the Pokémon King, of Psychic and Plant type. We will not see it until autumn on the occasion of The Snows of the Crown. “Despite its delicate and light appearance, each of its movements is full of dignity and grace. He is tremendously intelligent, and it is said that he can see the past, the present and the future. ”
