New features to spice up your adventure
New features added in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra
New clothing items
There will be over one hundred new clothing items added in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. Spice up your adventure by changing your look with your favorite items!
New Pokédexes
Many Pokémon not found in Galar’s Wild Area make their home on The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra, the areas that you’ll be able to newly explore. Your Galar Pokédex will be updated so that you can register even more Pokémon as you discover them! In The Isle of Armor, you’ll be aiming to complete The Isle of Armor Pokédex, while in The Crown Tundra, you’ll be working on The Crown Tundra Pokédex!
Max Raid Battles against new Pokémon
There are Pokémon Dens on The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra, just like in the Wild Area. Check out a Pokémon Den that has a pillar of red light coming out of it, and you’ll be able to participate in a Max Raid Battle! These are battles where you’ll team up with three other Trainers to take on a Dynamax Pokémon.
New features added in The Isle of Armor
Items that will help you on your adventure
You’ll find new items that will help you along your journey, like an Exp. Charm that’ll come in handy when leveling up your Pokémon!
New tutor moves
New moves that have never been available in past Pokémon series games will appear in this expansion!
A new way to battle: Restricted Sparring
The Isle of Armor will also introduce a way to challenge yourself to some new battles! With Restricted Sparring, you’ll be limited in what types of Pokémon you can use and forced to battle under set conditions! Give it a try, and give some of your Pokémon that are normally overlooked a chance to shine!
New features added in The Crown Tundra
New co-op play feature
In The Crown Tundra, you and your friends will be able to enter and explore Pokémon Dens found on The Crown Tundra in a new gameplay feature! Deep inside these dens, you’ll have a chance to encounter Legendary Pokémon from previous Pokémon series games, so work together with other Trainers to get as far as you can!
