Tying in with Pokemon Day, a brand new Mythical Pokemon has been revealed for Pokemon Sword/Shield. The Dark/Grass-type monster is known as Zarude.

Here’s the first official information on Zarude:

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are celebrating Pokemon Day with a special event. Starting today, Mewtwo will be appearing in Max Raid Battles in addition to starters from Kanto. Gigantamax Grimmsnarl, Kingler, Hatterene, Orbeetle, and Toxtricity may show up as well.

Keep in mind that you can’t actually catch Mewtwo. However, by taking it down, you’ll earn high-quality rewards.

The event with Mewtwo and Kanto starters runs until March 2nd. We have a trailer for it below.

Little Town Hero may have come out on Switch already, but the game’s isn’t done entirely. We know that NIS America will be releasing a special physical edition in a few months and there are also plans for an extra feature.

According to NIS America, an Easy Mode is on the way. This will decrease the attack and defense of enemy Dazzits in addition to less frequent Special Effects from enemies.

We’ll likely be seeing Easy Mode when the physical Little Town Hero: Big Idea Edition drops in June.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield

Yesterday, we reported that some Pokemon Sword/Shield players were encountering Pokemon that haven’t been officially released through raids and the Surprise Trade feature. Unfortunately, the situation can cause substantial issues.

Reports are surfacing regarding a bug that can crash your game if you receive a maliciously crafted Pokemon through Surprise Trade. Not only does it crash when attempting to access access online features (via Y-COM), but you may be unable to participate in online interactions.

Some fans have been told to be extra cautious and avoid Surprise Trade until a patch is distributed. It’s unclear when that could happen, as Nintendo has yet to offer a comment about these hacked Pokemon.

CoroCoro intends to offer a full look at the Mythical Pokemon in its next issue. It will also be officially unveiled during Pokemon Day on February 27.
