Pokémon Sword and Shield have turned to the United Kingdom for inspiration.
According to Kotaku, the new Pokémon region Galor has a distinctly British flair. New Pokémon include Wooloo, a normal type; Gossifleur, a grass type; Drednaw, water/rock type; and Corviknight, a flying/steel type. Wooloo resembles a sheep, which is common to the island nation. As its name implies, Corviknight resembles an armored knight; the picture below finds it in a setting inspired by the Tower of London, which is home to captive ravens in real life.
The game’s two new Legendary Pokémon also tie into the British-inspired Sword and Shield theme. Both resemble giant canines, with Zacian carrying a sword in its mouth, while Zamazenta’s hackles resemble a shield. Their coloration involves a red, white and blue scheme, just like the Union Jack.
In addition to an all-new setting, Pokémon Sword and Shield feature raids for the first time. As in Pokémon Go, the Max Raid Battles allow players to team with up to four friends to capture rare Pokémon. The Max Raid Battles feature can be used online or in person. They will center around Pokémon made even larger and more powerful by a new mechanic called Dynamaxing, which can be applied to a player’s own Pokémon as well. Gym battles will lean into the Dynamaxing feature.
Pokémon Sword and Shield are expected to release on November 15.
