New Pok\u00e9mon of the Galar region, information about character customization, and details regarding the Surprise Trade feature were also revealed. Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield launch November 15, 2019, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch™ system. <\/p>\n

To commemorate the upcoming release of these titles, The Pok\u00e9mon Company International also announced the Pok\u00e9mon TCG: Galar Collection, a preview of the upcoming Sword & Shield expansion that offers new promo cards featuring Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. The Galar Collection will also arrive on November 15.<\/p>\n

Newly Discovered Pok\u00e9mon of Galar<\/p>\n

Cramorant<\/p>\n

Category: Gulp Pok\u00e9mon <\/p>\n

Type: Flying\/Water<\/p>\n

Height: 2\u20197\u201d<\/p>\n

Weight: 39.7 lbs.<\/p>\n

Ability: Gulp Missile<\/p>\n

When it comes to food, Cramorant will try to swallow anything it can fit in its mouth. Sometimes it will swallow things that aren\u2019t its intended prey, spitting them out once it realizes its mistake. A Cramorant can be forgetful, but it will never forget a Trainer it grows to trust. However, even Trainers will face fierce attacks from their Cramorant if they try to steal its food. Cramorant\u2019s Ability, Gulp Missile, is a new Ability that can be triggered during battles. After Cramorant uses Surf or Dive, it will return with a catch in its mouth. If it takes damage while in this state, Cramorant will retaliate by spitting out its catch at that opponent. <\/p>\n

Polteageist<\/p>\n

Category: Black Tea Pok\u00e9mon <\/p>\n

Type: Ghost<\/p>\n

Height: 8\u201d<\/p>\n

Weight: .9 lbs.<\/p>\n

Ability: Weak Armor<\/p>\n

Polteageist\u2019s body is made from black tea, and it\u2019s said to have a very distinct aroma and flavor. It will only allow a Trainer it trusts to sample its tea, although drinking too much can lead to indigestion. Many Polteageist make their homes inside hotels and restaurants where they disguise themselves and hide among the tableware. Because they can pour their power into leftover tea and create even more of their kind, they\u2019re often treated as pests.<\/p>\n

Alcremie<\/p>\n

Alcremie is known to be able to create whipped cream from its hands. There are several variations of color and flavor for this whipped cream, as well as the decorations on its body. <\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Camp<\/p>\n

Trainers can enjoy a moment of relaxation and fun with the Pok\u00e9mon in their party through Pok\u00e9mon Camp. When Trainers watch their Pok\u00e9mon as they have fun camping and playing together, they might discover a new side to them that they don\u2019t normally get to see. Trainers can get to know their Pok\u00e9mon better by playing with them using a Pok\u00e9 Toy or a variety of bouncing balls. <\/p>\n

In Pok\u00e9mon Camp, Trainers will be able to cook curry, a popular dish in the Galar region. Trainers can create a variety of curries, depending on what Berries and other ingredients they choose to use. Players will need to fan the flames until they\u2019re strong enough to cook the curry and then stir the pot just right to make the best batch. Once the curry is done cooking, both Trainer and Pok\u00e9mon can enjoy it together. There are many types of curries, so Trainers can try to cook them all and complete their Curry Dex. <\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Camp is also a way for Trainers to connect with other players in the Wild Area. Trainers can join the camp of another player or have other players visit their camp until a total of four players are gathered. Together they can interact with Pok\u00e9mon or even make curry. If a player comes across a tent while using local communication or when connected to the internet, it\u2019s a sign that another player has set up their Pok\u00e9mon Camp there. A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to visit other players\u2019 Pok\u00e9mon Camps using an internet connection. A membership is not required to play with other players using local communication features.<\/p>\n

Explore Galar in Style<\/p>\n

As Trainers travel through the Galar region, they will come across boutiques and hair salons. By visiting them, they can buy new clothes or change their hairstyle. Trainers will be able to choose from many different clothing items, hairstyles, and even makeup options as they explore Galar in style. <\/p>\n

Create a League Card<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Trainers in the Galar region make League Cards for themselves. These cards provide detailed information about the Trainer and are traded and given out across the region. Players can use the Card Maker function of Rotomi to customize their own cards. The Card Maker will enable players to edit the background, frame, and much more on their own unique League Cards. League Cards received from other Trainers can be reviewed in a player\u2019s album. <\/p>\n

Connect with Players Using Surprise Trades<\/p>\n

In Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield, Trainers can use the Y-Comm to do things like engage in Link Battles or Trade Pok\u00e9mon. Another feature available on the Y-Comm menu is Surprise Trade. The player just needs to select a Pok\u00e9mon from their Boxes that they\u2019re willing to trade, and a trading partner will automatically be found as they continue their adventure. These trades can be carried out with players from around the world if the player is using the internet or through local communication with someone around them. Trainers won\u2019t know what Pok\u00e9mon they\u2019ll get in exchange for their Pok\u00e9mon until they actually receive it. <\/p>\n

A Nintendo Switch Online (paid) membership is required to participate in Link Trades and Link Battles using the internet. A membership is not needed for local communication use.<\/p>\n

Choose a Pok\u00e9mon Partner in the Pok\u00e9mon TCG: Galar Collection<\/p>\n

As Trainers await the highly anticipated release of the Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield video games, they can also look forward to the new Pok\u00e9mon TCG: Galar Collection, which includes one of three promo cards showcasing Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble. In addition, the box includes a matching collector\u2019s pin, one oversize card featuring the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon Zacian or Zamazenta as a brand-new Pok\u00e9mon V, and four Pok\u00e9mon TCG booster packs. <\/p>\n

This special preview of the Sword & Shield Series will be Trainers\u2019 first opportunity to grab cards from the forthcoming expansion. The Galar Collection will be available on November 15 in celebration of the global release of Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
