On social media, The Pokemon Company has announced that it will have more news to share on Pokemon Sword/Shield this week. New information will drop on August 7.

Look for a trailer (and more) at the following times:

The Pokemon Company is celebrating the launch of Sun & Moon – Unified Minds with a special Mewtwo distribution in Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. Smyths Toy Stores will offer it in the UK and Germany while fans in France can stop by PicWicToys.

This Mewtwo will have maxed-out Go Power for all of its stats. The full rundown of the distribution is as follows:

GameStop has announced an exclusive pre-order bonus for the Pokemon Sword/Shield Double Pack. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive the double-sided wall banner.

You can pre-order the Pokemon Sword/Shield Double Pack on GameStop’s website here. Note that quantities are said to be limited. 

A new update is now available for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. Version 1.0.2 is live worldwide, which fixes a couple of issues.

Below are the full patch notes:
