He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Nice.

Is this the first new pokemon that's exclusive to one version?

I'm pretty sure Magmar was exclusive to blue. And a lot of gen 5 ones...

So no :v:

E: though if you're talking this gen, yeah

It's a farfetch'd evolution, but it's version exclusive?

Does that just mean farfetch'd is exclusive to sword?

Probably...
hmmmmmmmmmm

if Sirfetch'd is exclusive to Sword, maybe that fightgirl gym leader will use him.

But then, the counterpart to her in Shield is the ghost boi. Who we know has Mimikyu as his best pokemon.

There's not many single stage gimmick pokemon with terrible stats and some sort of shield theme.

So.. maybe Delibird...?

Actually that'd be cool so probably not.

It’s not like they have to stick purely to the old theme or even have to be specifically shield-related. They could have some old Pokemon have gun parts or something added to it and make it a powerful special attacker to contrast the physical Sirfetch’d

No? Most of the time the whole point of different versions is they have different exclusive new Pokemon.

Speaking of names, I forget, did the original leak specifically call out Sirfetch'd by name, or did the name the internet collectively decided on for a not-yet-revealed Pokemon actually turn out to be true for the first time ever?

The leak straight up called it out by name. The only name they got wrong so far was Yamper, calling it Pamper instead.

Is this the first time we've had a dual type Pokemon evolve into a single type Pokemon that was a totally different type?

Like Gloom->Bellossom loses the poison but keeps Grass and I can't think of any others off the top of my head
