Pokémon Sword & Shield Coverage Day 1
With many parts of the world getting their copies today & tomorrow and the eShop now live in some regions, it would be remiss of us to hold off further when so many of you hunger for information. As such, our usual discoveries shall begin. As usual, I'll be posting the main focal points here, while more in-depth details go on the discovery thread on the forums If you want to remain unspoiled, do not click the spoiler tag, nor visit the Sword & Shield section until you have your game. Don't worry as blatant spoilers will NOT be on the home page.
Edit @ 13:51: Our Sword & Shield Pokédex, Sword & Shield Attackdex, Abilitydex, are now updated with all the new details. This also includes a list showing what Max Moves a Pokémon can use, and on Max Move pages, it shows the moves that can turn into the Max Move. Do note that discoveries are still being made so intricate new or updated mechanics may not be 100% yet. If you see any discrepencies, which may exist due to the shift in index numbers for forms brought on by new Pokémon, then don't hesitate to contact us. Also, please note that we will add native imagery after we have finished with the main narrative of the game and caught & traded as many Pokémon as we can
