Probably those are the only exclusive gym leaders, if you look at the galar map that particular gym is grey and doesn't have a type symbol, and all the other gyms do.

Well Bea locks me in for Sword regardless of what gets revealed from here on out.

Also Gigantamaxing is way radder than I expected but I do wish they were just Mega Evolutions and any Pokemon that has a Mega Evolution and Dynamaxes goes into its Mega Form instead.

Thank you. I wasn't quite sure about that one.

Rolycoly? "Steam Engine" as an ability?

Looking forward to that evolution line...

I watched the episode where Type: Null "evolves" into Silvally. Are any other instances in the anime where a pokemon evolves without glowing and transforming? It just breaks out of the mask. As far as I remember even pokemon that logically shouldn't have to change in any way, like Magnemite, still glow to evolve.

I didn't see this answer yet. Slowpoke to Slowbro does not. In the anime he just stuck his tail into the water and started walking upright once the Shelder clamped on.

Are you talking about Swoshi and Home or the 3DS games and Bank?

Sword and Shield with Home. Cloud saves are disabled on Pokemon games so the save stays on the console or you can transfer the Switch user account to another Switch. The cartridge is just the V1.0 game data now.

In the case of the 3DS you could get a free trial of Bank and bring over your Pokemon to XYORAS/SM cartridge and that would be your Pokemon collection.

Absolutely! Make sure you played B/W first. It’s my favourite in the series for the sheer amount of content.

Yeah, if he turns into just like, a regular spy chameleon its going to be very disappointing. I hope they lean into the misery.

edit: calling it now that one of sobble's evolutions is called Lizery.

Hey good luck getting a gigantamax pokemon

https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/gameplay/gigantamax/

quote:

While Dynamaxing seems to be a phenomenon common to the Pokémon from Galar, it’s been discovered that there’s a special phenomenon known as Gigantamaxing, too! Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax—and even among such species, only rare specimens will be able to Gigantamax. The majority will keep their usual appearance when they Dynamax.

Regular Drednaw and Corviknight can Dynamax, but there are some special members of these species that can Gigantamax.

You can catch Gigantamax Pokémon for your team by participating in Max Raid Battles, but it seems they’re very rare—finding one won’t be easy!
