Pokémon Sword

Pokémon Sword is a turn-based role-playing game set in the Galar region, a fictional land inspired by the United Kingdom. Players catch, train, and battle creatures called Pokémon while traveling across the region to collect eight Gym badges and finally challenge the reigning Champion. The game introduces the Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics, which temporarily transform Pokémon into giant forms with enhanced attacks. The player chooses Grookey, Scorbunny or Sobble as a first partner Pokémon and faces Team Yell while finding out the mystery behind the Legendary Pokémon Zacian, which appears in Sword, and Zamazenta. The Wild Area is a large open area where the camera can be moved freely, and weather changes which Pokémon appear. In Max Raid Battles, up to four players team up locally or online against a Dynamax Pokémon. Poké Jobs send Pokémon on tasks to earn experience, and in Pokémon Camp the player plays with them. Stores let players choose clothes and a hairstyle. Familiar Pokémon also appear in Galarian forms. Two paid expansions, The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra, add new areas.
