Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

[Worldie]

Well they didn't exactly reveal anything new other than a glimpse of how the raid dens work (I love the interface that shows what the party pokemon actually have), and the confirm of Go > Home coming this year and having Gigamax Melmetal as reward.

Also release is indeed 22 october. Soon(tm).

 

[Kanburi]

Luckily we get to pick our partner for the tournament. Also the long-awaited Go compatibility means I'm that much closer to quitting Go.

I'm hoping we can at least pick our opponents too so I don't have to see Hop and Bede.

 

[Rarycaris]

Original Cap Pikachu available with code "P1KACHUGET", more coming soon

 

[R_N]

I am actually quite surprised that they're releasing a "physical" version of SWSH with the expansion pack (in the world's worst boxart holy moly).




OTOH lord knows Nintendo needed Literally Anything for their holiday season this year so I gues it works out

 

[Zetalz]

Man I tabbed out when the music video started and when I tabbed back in I super regretted not watching it from the beginning, that animation was fucking phenomenal.

yeah the song was nice too but damn the video was really really stylish and cool. If anyone skipped on it please do yourself a favor and watch it

 

[Kurona]

“Hey know how we said Home/GO compatibility was coming this year? Well we’re ready to give new details now”
“Cool when’s it coming out”
“This year”

 

[MTB'er Ben]

Anyone else catch what looked like Galarian Slowking?

 

[R_N]

Here's slowking, by the way.
The official websites haven't updated yet so maybe we'll see official art and such later today

 

[Steel With It]

Well, aside from the unmentioned detail-free glimpses of Galarian Slowking, that was a whole lot of nothing, wasn't it.

That went past so quick, I thought it was Poipole.

Well, tecnically if you never checked the Home datamine, there was a bunch of ""new"" pokemon shown as well as the confirmation returning legendaries.

Also, I'd point that tecnically they did NOT show the Ultrabeasts as available.

[Mega-Pokebattlerz]

The music video kicked ass.

Galarian Slowking info

Poison/psychic type

Its ability, きみょうなくすり, restores its allies lowered stats.

Its exclusive move ぶきみなじゅもん is a special psychic move that reduces the PP of its target's last used move by 3.

I know right? They were quick to the draw with that!

You know, I think this one has some pretty significant competitive implications.

Bit disappointed that it's not Poison/Ghost or Psychic/Ghost ngl.

 

[CoolMan6001]

Dragonite and Carbink have been officially confirmed now.

They were present in leaks prior.

EDIT: timestamps are 0:55 and 1:02:

EDIT 2: Cradily, Audino, and Tyrantrum were spotted too:

The thing that caught my eye about this picture is Urshifu, Calyrex, Silvally, the dogs and Eternatus being in this photo. The entire part of the presentation was talking about the Dynamax Dens, and the datamine didnt indicate you could find them there but perhaps plans changed?

Or just showcasing all the legendary pokemon that you can get, in general, I suppose. But it'd bve pretty cool otherwise!

Also showing Regigigas at last

 

[Kanburi]

They also just revealed the new item, とくせいパッチ, that allows you to change a Pokemon's ability to its hidden ability.

To be frank, if the whole point of the dens is to give actually unlimited access to legendaries (compared to the "one off" of previous games), I don't see much wrong with this.

It also would fit the large number of competitive facilitations that they've done in SwSh.

Oh I don't see it as a bad thing at all, really, just noting that the datamine seemed to indicate that the "normally avialable" legends werent in the dens. So if this is more than just "hey, you can get ALL the legendary pokemon across the dlc and games" that'd be neat! Especially for living dex purposes....

also google translate seems to say that this mentions there will be an Endless Mode option for dynamax adventures, can someone confirm?

 

[Rarycaris]

Also showing Regigigas at last

Wait, when was this?

That would be cool, but wouldn't that basically defeat the entire point of the first DLC?

 

[Kurona]

In the picture I quoted

It's in the picture I linked above (it's taken straight from the youtube direct)

Why would it exactly, the first DLC offers other things like the Gigamax Soup and Armor tutors which are very relevant.

Plus, they are sold toghether so...
