Tying in with Pokemon the Movie Coco, a special distribution is happening for Pokemon Sword/Shield. Dada Zarude will be offered to fans, who comes wearing a Celebi cape – just like the film.

Pokemon Sword/Shield - The Crown Tundra

It wasn’t until Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield that the series received major DLC. Whereas past entries often saw a third game/version later on, the two Switch titles were instead given expansions in the form of The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra.

Game Informer recently asked The Pokemon Company about this new approach. Regarding DLC and whether they take the approach of traditional follow-up third games, they said:

As a celebratory event to herald in the arrival of the new TCG set “Vivid Voltage,” Australia, Germany, and Switzerland are receiving a distribution event for the Mythical Pokemon Zarude. This event will be handled via a code and will run from Nov. 13 – Dec. 13th. While there are no official announcements for this event in other countries as of now, we will definitely keep posted and update if this happens to change.
