We’ve got more video game updates on Animal Crossing, Bug Fables, and even Yu-Gi-Oh!, then some Pokemon Sword and Shield DLC news. We have an excellent listener mail question about hidden gem series like Hotel Dusk, Famicom Tantei Club, and other obscure text-based, point-and-click adventures.

Posted on 4 years ago by Bryce(@brodee922) in News, Switch | 0 comments

According to news outlet Serebii, a new Dynamax Crystal event is coming to Pokemon Sword and Shield. In this event, you can get a code from certain video game retailers and it will provide you with a Dynamax Crystal which can be used to activate the Gigantamax Copperajah Max Raid Battle in the Watchtower Ruins.

It seems that only Gamestop in Germany and GameMania in the Netherlands have rolled this out right now, but it is expected that more regions will see this soon. The Dynamax Crystal event for Gigantamax Copperajah is expected to go on from June 5th, 2020 to July 5th, 2020.
