Pokemon Sword

Update 3: Due to the information that has emerged since November 1, we are removing the rumor tag.


Update 2: Sobble’s final evolution may also have now leaked, which we’ve added in below. Again, note that this is not confirmed currently.


Update: We have a quick update here, as Grookie’s final evolution has apparently leaked now as well. We’ve added that to the gallery below and have included two more images.


Original: Hot on the heels of supposed leaks showing starter evolutions for Grookie and Sobble, another batch of images for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have apparently found their way online. The latest images show several previously-unannounced creatures.

We’ve posted the full set below. Once again, we’ll warn folks not to proceed past this point if they’re looking to avoid spoilers.

The Pokemon series is no stranger to leaks. It always seems that with each entry, news about the game comes online prior to release and official reveal. With two weeks to go until Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield’s launch, leaks for the Switch titles could be starting already.

We’re obviously about to go into some sensitive territory here. If you don’t want to be spoiled in any way, please turn away now.

Earlier today, we heard that Undertale creator Toby Fox created a special music track for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. That piece has now been uploaded online courtesy of the Japanese-exclusive Pokemon Sword and Shield Secret Club. You can listen to it below.

Undertale creator Toby Fox recently worked on the soundtrack for Gamefreak’s Little Town Hero. Today, he announced that he collaborated with Gamefreak once again – but this time, on something a bit bigger. He composed one of the tracks in Pokemon Sword & Shield. We don’t know yet which track he worked on, and Toby Fox himself says it wasn’t “one of the main tracks or anything”. Pokemon Sword & Shield are out in two weeks, on November 15.

Much like last year’s Pokemon titles, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield won’t support cloud save backups. That news comes straight from the games’ eShop listings.

Given what happened with Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee, this isn’t all too surprising. Cloud saves are usually disabled when there is concern about manipulating the experience, especially when interacting with other players.

Nintendo provided the following explanation last year when it was asked why Splatoon 2 doesn’t have cloud saves enabled:

After the pre-load option for Pokemon Sword/Shield started on the Japanese Switch eShop last night, the same can now be said of Europe as well. On top of that, a bonus is available. Those who pre-order the game will receive a free steelbook case while supplies last. We have a look at the designs above.

Pokemon Sword/Shield launches for Switch on November 15.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield can now be pre-loaded – in Japan at least. Other regions should follow shortly. While we wait for the pre-order option to be extended overseas, there is some notable information to share.

We previously heard that Pokemon Sword/Shield would require around 10.3GB. The final size, it seems, will actually be slightly lower than that. The Japanese eShop pages now show an updated size of 9.5GB.
