Pokémon Shield - Nintendo Switch

Publisher: Nintendo

A new adventure Pokémon begins!

With Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, a new generation of role-playing games Pokémon is coming to Nintendo Switch!

Get ready to explore Galar, a vast region with diverse environments, from peaceful countryside and modern cities to lush forests and snow-capped mountains. Humans and the Pokémon who live there cooperate in perfect harmony to develop local industries.

Once you've chosen your Pokémon partner, your journey can begin in earnest: you'll need to capture, train, and trade Pokémon to form a team that can defeat the Gym Champions and make you the new Master of the Galar region!

Colourful locals

As you embark on your Galar adventure, you'll meet many characters and Pokémon. Some Pokémon have never been seen anywhere else, while others are well known... and that still others can be classified between these two extremes. The Galar region is teeming with life! By the way, if you want to show off your style to other locals, consider customizing your look by choosing the clothes and cut that suit you!

There's so much to discover!

The Galar region brings its share of new gameplay mechanics. The Dynamax and Gigamax phenomena will bring Pokémon of colossal size and power to your path, the Wilds will allow you to explore a vast natural area, and the Dynamax raids will invite you to join forces with other Trainers... You can even play and cook with your Pokémon thanks to Poké Camping!
