September 29, 2020:<\/strong> an Ash hat Pikachu code was given out during the stream, find it below!<\/p>\n

A live stream held by The Pok\u00e9mon Company has revealed The Crown Tundra expansion is coming to Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield on October 23. You can also grab a pack including either Pok\u00e9mon Sword or Shield and both expansions on November 6, this pack is perfect for new fans looking to get the full experience.<\/p>\n

The Crown Tundra is the second area unlocked by the expansion pass, with The Isle of Armor being the first. From the trailer, we can see these areas are significantly different geographically, with The Isle of Armor set on a tropical island and The Crown Tundra set near an icy mountain peak. This should lead to some interesting ice-type Pok\u00e9mon encounters.<\/p>\n

This expansion will bring back over 100 Pok\u00e9mon from previous generations, including Absol, Relicanth, Swablu, and the legendary Regi trio, who have now expanded into a quintet with the additions of the electric-type Regieleki, and the dragon-type Regidrago. Exciting new Galarian forms of the legendary birds, Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, will be available to find and catch, along with a brand new legendary, the psychic\/grass-type Calyrex.<\/p>\n

    What we know about the Crown Tundra<\/h3>\n

    Much like The Isle of Armor expansion, The Crown Tundra will add an assortment of fresh cosmetic items, such as new winter-themed outfits, and all-new League Card designs to help your character stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

    The first brand new game mode is Dynamax Adventures, a co-op mode where players can explore Pok\u00e9mon dens. In this mode, you will link up with three other players to search Pok\u00e9mon dens, and compete in Max Raid battles, which will play out similarly to the base games. The major perk in completing a Dynamax Adventure is the opportunity to catch returning Legendary Pokemon, including Mewtwo, Giratina, Lugia, Ho-Oh, and much more.<\/p>\n

    The second new mode is The Galarian Star Tournament. You unlock this mode while progressing through The Crown Tundra\u2019s story. In this tournament, you will compete in 2v2 battles against the Galar gym leaders, your rivals, and the Galar champion Leon.<\/p>\n

    Rumours are currently swirling around the potential release of a Pok\u00e9mon Diamond and Pearl remaster, but for now The Crown Tundra will have to tide restless fans over till we can get the facts on any future releases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
