A lot is happening in Pokemon Sword and Shield at the moment. Some sort of announcement related to the games’ expansions will come on June 2, 2020. A bunch of Galarian versions of Pokemon with their Hidden Abilities are being given away as Mystery Gifts too.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are available for the Nintendo Switch.
