There’s A New "Pokémon Sword" And "Pokémon Shield" DLC Coming And Here’s Everything You Need To Know

Gotta catch all of this Pokémon DLC!

Unless you've been living under a Geodude for the last 10 months, you know that The Pokémon Company released Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield last November!

And people have had Poké fever ever since!

Well, what you may not know is The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo have announced the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass.

You're probably as curious as a Meowth to know what's included in these expansions, so here's the DL on the DLC:

The downloadable content centers around two new adventures, The Isle of Armor (already released) and The Crown Tundra (set to launch this fall).

The Isle of Armor takes place on a lush, beach paradise island in the Galar region.

The island is also home to a dojo. Trainers must work hard to become stronger under the tutelage of its master, named Mustard.

Trainers who haven't dowloaded it yet better "ketchup" because Mustard and the new DLC have been out since June!

It's also home to a newly discovered Pokémon — Galarian Slowbro.

A chemical reaction with the Galarian spices has caused this rare Slowbro to be Poison type.

In The Isle of Armor, two familiar Pokémon get all-new Gigantamax forms. First, there's Gigantamax Venusaur.

And then there's Gigantamax Blastoise.

The Expansion Pass also introduce a new ability for the Legendary Pokémon Urshifu.

Unseen Fist lets the Pokémon deal damage when it attacks with moves that make direct contact, even if the target defends itself by using moves like Protect.

And with the release of The Isle of Armor came so many new adventuring features!

Cram-o-matic: If trainers feed it four items, it will combine them and give out a new item in exchange.

Tutor Moves: Trainers can have their Pokémon learn them in exchange for Armorite Ore.

Burning Jealousy: A new Fire-type move.

Grassy Glide: A new Grass-type move.

On Oct. 22, The Crown Tundra will be released! This adventure takes place in a snowy tundra that looks like the cover of a metal album!

Here, a man named Peony will appoint you as the leader of his exploration team to investigate the reaches of this frozen land.

Along the way, trainers will have the opportunity to encounter some newly discovered Legendary Pokémon, including:

Regidrago

Whose body entirely composed of crystallized dragon energy!

Galarian Articuno

You thought this was a regular Articuno? Psych! This one is Psychic type rather than Ice.

Galarian Zapdos

It may not be Electric type but its Fighting-type moves are lightning fast!

And Galarian Moltres

Basically, this Dark type Pokémon is "Moltres, but make it goth."

Plus, like with The Isle of Armor, The Crown Tundra will include new adventuring features!

Dynamax Adventure: Trainers venture into Pokémon Dens and encounter Dynamax Pokémon!

Galarian Star Tournament: Trainers will battle with various characters they met in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield — but not just as opponents. They can also pick a teammate and tackle the tournament together.
