The Pokemon Company just dropped a new Japanese trailer for Sword & Shield, and among lots of new areas, we also get a good look at three new Pokemon (which were slightly teased during the E3 demo). In order of their appearance in the video we have Yamper (the dog), Rolycoly (the rock) and Duraludon (the dino). Alcremie (the cake-looking creature) also shows up later in the clip.

The next segment involves gym life, and centers around the glitzy new blood sport spectator-fueled gym concepts. That portion showcases more of the Dynamax (read: Kaiju Pokemon) mechanic, which now allows creatures to attain new forms with “Gigantamax,” transformations, similar to the Mega Stones from X & Y. Based on the English trailer, each version of the game will also have exclusive gym leaders.

Pokemon Sword & Shield will arrive on November 15, 2019, exclusively for Switch. As a reminder, it will not have a National ‘Dex this time. You can catch both the Japanese and English trailers, and read official info on the Gigantamax forms below.
