Returning Pokémon
Over 100 old Pokémon was made available in Pokémon Sword and Shield alongside the release of The Crown Tundra.
Legendary Pokémon Dens
Many Legendary Pokémon from the past can be encountered as Dynamax Pokémon and caught while the player is exploring underneath Pokémon Dens during Dynamax Adventures after defeating three Dynamaxed Pokémon. The Legendary Pokémon found at the end of Den has a 100% Catch rate but can only be captured once. [3]
The following Pokémon have been promoted as appearing in this way.
Customization
The protagonist can wear exploration gear and new fashion items were also available.
Dynamax Adventures
Players will be able to explore Pokémon Dens to find Legendary Pokémon from previous core series games and fight them in Max Raid Battles in a co-op play mode called Dynamax Adventures. To reach the Legendary Pokémon, players must face off against three Dynamaxed Pokémon. The player can choose which way to go after defeating the Dynamaxed Pokémon before reaching the end. Damages such as lost of HP and PP is carried from the previous battle. Occasionally, the players will run into characters or Berries that can be used for healing. The Legendary Pokémon found at the end of Dynamax Adventures can be caught without fail, but the player can only get one per game.
Galarian Star Tournament
Once the player has completed the Crown Tundra story, a new battle mechanic called the Galarian Star Tournament will be unlocked within Wyndon Stadium. This Tournament allows the player to team up and battle against Trainers encountered in the main game.
