Game Freak and Nintendo surprised us greatly at this Pokémon Direct on January 9, 2020. With the success of Pokémon Sword and Shield, two expansions have been announced! Among other things, these DLCs will add 200 Pokémon from older generations that were previously not present in Galar. Here's a brief summary of what the expansions will bring to your gaming experience:
- 200 Old Generations Pokémon added,
- 2 new regions functioning as the Wild Area: Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra
- New Gigantamax Pokémon like the Gen 8 starters,
- Access to new raid dens and previous Legendaries from other games
- New cosmetic and personalization items for the avatar
- New Gyms with their champions,
- and much more!
How to buy the Expansion Pass?
