Nintendo Pokemon Nintendo Switch

Every Pokemon game since Pokemon X and Y, has introduced some sort of new gimmick, and in  and Shield, that gimmick is Dynamaxing. Dynamaxing is something that every Pokemon can do. With the help of a special item, your Pokemon can grow in an enormous size, and it’s attacks gets replaced with one super attack that does major damage. Some Pokemon can even go one step above and do something called Gigantamaxing, where they gain a new form on top of growing in size. This also leads into a new feature called Max Raid Battles. This is a special event where you and up to four other players can work together to defeat a wild Dynamax Pokemon. You’ll have to team up, and be strategic if you want to take one of those Pokemon down.

Something else coming to Pokemon  and Shield, that a ton of fans are happy about, is the return of regional variants. First starting in Pokemon Sun and Moon as Alolan Forms, regional variants are coming back into Pokemon and Shield as Galarian Forms. For those of you who don’t know, regional variants are new forms of already existing Pokemon. So far we have Galarian Wheezing, and Galarian Forms for Zigzagoon’s Evolution line. Officially, 17 brand new Pokemon have been revealed or hinted at. Not including the new Galarian Forms and the Starter Pokemon. To list them all in detail would probably make this post way too long, so I recommend looking them up on the official Pokemon  & Pokemon Shield
