Pokemon Sword/Shield – level scaling confirmed for The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra
Posted on June 15, 2020 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will have level scaling for its DLC expansions The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have confirmed.
IGN received the news straight from Nintendo product marketing specialist Demetrius Boggs. During a preview of The Isle of Armor, the site saw that the first trainer battles were around level 60, which was the same as the highest level Pokemon in the trainer’s party. That means new players as well as those that have played extensively can both enjoy the experience.
There is just only one slight uncertainty here. As IGN points out, it’s unclear if the DLC areas will continue to scale with your level, or if the areas become locked to the level your Pokemon were when you first visit.
Those just starting out with Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield won’t have to wait long to access the DLC. Once you’ve reached the Wild Area in the main games, you can explore the new content to your heart’s content.
