A new generation of Pokémon arrives on Nintendo Switch

Begin your adventure as a Pokémon Trainer by choosing one of three new partner Pokémon: Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble. The Galar region awaits, where you’ll need to foil the troublemakers of Team Yell and uncover the mysteries behind the legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta! Explore the Wild Area – a vast landscape where you can freely control the camera. Team up locally or online with up to three other players in new multiplayer Max Raid Battles, where players face off against enormous, super-strong Pokémon known as Dynamax Pokémon together.



Certain Pokémon can achieve a Gigantamax form, gaining a new appearance and powerful G-Max moves. The fun doesn’t stop at honing your battle skills – visit shops in town to pick out new outfits or get a fresh hairstyle, so you can be the exact kind of Trainer you want to be. On your journey you’ll encounter not only brand-new Pokémon, but also familiar ones in new Galarian forms! To make leveling your Pokémon easier, assign them to so-called Poké Jobs. For some downtime, visit Pokémon Camp, where you can play with your Pokémon!
