Gotta Catch At Least These Ones
Pokemon Sword and Shield have finally been revealed, and we now know what the eighth generation of Pokemon games will look like on Nintendo Switch. The reveal trailer showed the new Galar region, which appears to be inspired by England, the Gen 8 starters, your trainer, and a number of Pokemon.
You never know with a new Pokemon game what old Pokemon might make an appearance, so we've rounded up all the Pokemon from the trailer here. Many of the Pokemon are from more recent games, including Sun and Moon, while a few are older. Almost all of them were shown in battle.
It's worth noting that the trailer appears to show the return of Pokemon's traditional battle style in wild Pokemon encounters, as opposed to the Pokemon Go-inspired catching mechanics seen in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. We didn't see Pokemon in the overworld, like in Let's Go, or even following you around.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are releasing worldwide in late 2019. Be sure to see our story on the new Gen 8 starters for more details, and maybe tell us what you think these mysterious symbols are so we can all start theorizing.
Pikachu
Naturally, Pikachu is the first Pokemon we see in the Sword and Shield trailer. The female trainer is seen sneaking in the grass, leading to this wild encounter.
Minccino
Minccino is a normal-type Pokemon introduced in Gen 5.
Wishiwashi
First introduced in Sun and Moon (Gen 7), Wishiwashi is really weak alone but can transform into a much scarier fish. We see the male trainer catching Wishiwashi in the traditional style.
Grubbin
Another Sun and Moon Pokemon, Grubbin is a small bug who eventually becomes a bigger, electrified bug.
Hoothoot
Hoothoot is a Gen 2 throwback and a good owl.
Zweilous
It's a bit hard to see, but Zweilous is fighting Hoothoot in the trainer. It's a dark/dragon Pokemon and it's great.
Flygon and Braviary
Sorry, this is the best screenshot I could get. On the left is Gen 3 Pokemon Flygon, and it's fighting what I assume is Gen 5's Braviary.
Meowstic (Female) and Wailmer
Next up is a female Meowstic, a Gen 6 Pokemon with different male and female forms, battling a Wailmer, which was first introduced in Gen 3.
Lucario
We see Gen 4's Lucario battling in a large stadium.
Tyranitar
Up against Lucario is Gen 2's Tyranitar, who gets hit pretty bad.
Munchlax
At the end of the battle montage, we see Munchlax--a baby Pokemon from Gen 4 that evolves into Snorlax--standing with the female trainer in a living room.
Gen 8 Starter: Scorbunny
The first new Pokemon we meet is the fire-type rabbit Scorbunny.
Gen 8 Starter: Sobble
We're then introduced to the water-type lizard Sobble, who is shy and perfect.
Gen 8 Starter: Grookey
The final Pokemon shown in the reveal trailer is the grass-type monkey Grookey, who rounds out the three Gen 8 starter Pokemon.
