Pokemon Sword/Shield – Rockruff evolves into Lycanroc Midday/Midnight depending on time of day, no version exclusivity
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Rockruff was first introduced in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. In those games, depending on the version you had, it could evolve into different forms of Lycanroc. These Pokemon have now finally returned in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield as part of today’s new Isle of Armor DLC. Thankfully, it looks like you don’t have to purchase both games in order to obtain the pair of evolution forms.
Rockruff now evolves into Lycanroc Midday or Midnight depending on the time of day only. That’s all there is to it – there’s no version exclusivity.
As a reminder, Rockruff has a third evolution form. You can get your hands on the Dusk Form if Rockruff has the ability “Own Tempo” and having it evolve at dusk. Dusk Form Lycanroc has a rare chance of showing up in a Max Raid Battle in Pokemon Sword/Shield, though you can also go the breeding route or move it over if you happen to own one in the 3DS games.

Rumor: Apex Legends possibly coming to Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
EA has previously indicated that it intends to give Switch additional support this year. At least in one way, that could manifest by porting the free-to-play battle royale title Apex Legends to Switch.
The speculation has come about thanks to a new article from VentureBeat. Editor Jeff Grubb, who has recently reported accurate Nintendo rumors, has suggested that an announcement regarding Apex Legends for Switch could be made during the EA Play 2020 event, which will be held tomorrow. Grub labels his piece as “informed speculation.”
The official Twitter account for Apex Legends has confirmed that it will have a news update during the presentation. However, that could be for additional content planned for the game, and there’s no official confirmation at this time.

Pokemon Sword/Shield – The Isle of Armor doesn’t scale to your party’s level after all
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Reports emerged earlier this week that Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield would feature level scaling in The Isle of Armor. It would allow for players to experience the DLC no matter whether they just started the games or complete them long ago. By scaling, the level of your Pokemon would more closely match the level of creatures you battle in the DLC.
Unfortunately, level scaling doesn’t appear to be in place after all. This has been confirmed by initial datamining led by Twitter user Sciresm as well as player reports.
