<\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Company International and Nintendo announced today that a new Pok\u00e9mon has been discovered in the Galar region: Sirfetch\u2019d, the Wild Duck Pok\u00e9mon. Sirfetch\u2019d will appear in the highly anticipated upcoming video game, Pok\u00e9mon Sword. Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield launch November 15, 2019, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch system.<\/p>\n

Sirfetch\u2019d
\nCategory: Wild Duck Pok\u00e9mon
\nType: Fighting
\nHeight: 2\u20197\u201d
\nWeight: 257.9 lbs.
\nAbility: Steadfast<\/p>\n

The Farfetch\u2019d of the Galar region can evolve into Sirfetch\u2019d after experiencing many battles. They are calm and collected, and they make a point of always battling fairly. They are so noble in battle that they are often chosen as a motif for paintings. Of particular note is a painting\u2014famous in the Galar region\u2014that depicts a duel between a Sirfetch\u2019d and an Escavalier.<\/p>\n

In battle, Sirfetch\u2019d uses the sharp stalk of its leek as a lance and the thick leaves as a shield. It maintains this leek over the span of many years and treasures it more than anything. When its leek finally withers, Sirfetch\u2019d will leave the battlefield and retire from battling entirely.<\/p>\n

Meteor Assault is a new move introduced in these games that only Sirfetch\u2019d can learn! Sirfetch\u2019d points its leek at the opponent and charges toward them at great speed. This move is devastatingly powerful! However, it appears that the move also puts great strain on Sirfetch\u2019d. It will be unable to take action immediately after using this move.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
