Nintendo and The Pokémon Company held a Pokémon Direct for Pokémon Sword and Shield and a ton of new information was revealed, including the release date of November 15, Dynamax and Raid battles, the new Legendary Pokémon, and so much more.
We’ve gathered everything new discussed in one place for all to see and look over until we can all jump into the Galar region in Pokémon Sword and Shield this November.
Pokémon Roaming in the Wild
While there appear to still be random battles with Pokémon in tall grass, there will be Pokémon also roaming and living in the world. While it wasn’t shown, it may be safe to assume you will be able to battle and catch these Pokémon as well.
