Pokemon Shield Nintendo Switch Game – Cartridge Only

Get ready to discover Galar, an expansive region with diverse environments, from a peaceful countryside and contemporary cities to a thick forest and snow-covered mountains. The people and Pokemon who live here work together closely to develop the industries within it.

Throughout your journey, you’ll have the opportunity to visit various Gyms in your quest to become Champion! You won’t be alone though, as Galar is home to newly discovered Pokemon that you can choose to be your very first partner!

The Dynamax phenomenon

Dynamax is a phenomenon unique to specific locations in the Galar region, where Pokemon can take on gigantic appearances during battle, and it’s an integral part of Pokemon battles in the region. Pokemon from the Galar region are able to Dynamax, and when they do, they become tremendously strong and receive a boost to their power.

Explore the Wild Area

The Wild Area is a vast expanse of land in the Galar region with untamed wilderness. It is full of nature and connects several different towns and cities. Trainers will find a greater variety of Pokemon living in the Wild Area than anywhere else in the Galar region.

Join a Max Raid Battle

Max Raid Battles are a battle format that takes place in the Wild Area, in which the player will team up with up to three other Trainers online or via local wireless to take on a wild Dynamax Pokemon. Trainers will then get a chance to catch the wild Dynamax Pokemon if they manage to defeat it – but it won’t go down easily.
