The Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games are all about classic, unadulterated Pokémon training, just like the original cartoon series. The player arrives as a beginner trainer in the picturesque Galar region, where he can immediately choose a companion from three Pokemon - Grookey = grass, Scorbunny = fire, Sobble = water.

Entirely waiting to be explored (and tempting!), the Galar region features idyllic countryside, dense forests, and cities. People and pokemon live here in peace, and their joint work results in a rapidly developing community.
The player's task is to take part in small and large battles while roaming the area, in which he can prove his mettle in order to gain the recognition of the greatest pokemon champion.

- Catch, battle and trade different Pokemon
- Choose a permanent companion from three pokemon you've never seen before
- Battle rival Pokemon trainers and prove your mettle
- Evolve your pokemons and forge the closest possible friendship between them
