The Crown Tundra expansion for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield has a few new elements such as Dynamax Adventures. Here players can find and catch various creatures, including Legendary Pokemon that have appeared in previous entries in the series.

According to Serebii, when Japanese players purchase certain Pokemon merchandise (including cards) after this start date, they will receive a code for one of many in-game Pokemon/Poke balls. 

The prizes include: Genesect, 20 Cyrite Ore, Fast Ball, Level Ball, Love Ball, Volcanion, Moon Ball, Heavy Ball, Friend Ball, Lure Ball, Marshadow, Safari Ball, Sport Ball and Master Ball.
