Pokemon Sword & Shield Adding Gigantamax Snorlax Next Week

A new Gigantamax Pokemon will begin appearing soon in Pokemon Sword and Shield. As part of the games' latest trailer, The Pokemon Company officially revealed Gigantamax Snorlax, and you'll have your first chance to encounter one starting December 4.

As with other Gigantamax Pokemon, it appears the only way to catch Gigantamax Snorlax is to first defeat it in a Max Raid. The Pokemon will appear in Max Raid dens from December 4 to early January. In order to be able to encounter it, you'll need to either connect to the internet while exploring the Wild Area or go into Mystery Gift and select "Get the Wild Area News" to ensure your game is up to date.

While Snorlax is already well-known for its laziness, Gigantamax Snorlax moves so little that it has a field of grass and a giant berry tree growing on its belly. When Snorlax Gigantamaxes, its Normal-type attacks become G-Max Replenish, which deals damage and also restores any berries that Snorlax or its allies have eaten during battle. You can check out footage of Gigantamax Snorlax in action in the trailer above.

Snorlax isn't the only Gigantamax Pokemon you can encounter in Max Raids until early January. Gigantamax Butterfree will also appear until then. Sword players can also encounter Gigantamax Drednaw more often in Max Raids, while Shield players can encounter Gigantamax Corviknight.

Pokemon Sword and Shield are available exclusively on Nintendo Switch. You can read our full thoughts on the games in our Pokemon Sword and Shield review. If you're just getting started on your Pokemon journey, we've rounded up our Sword and Shield guides below to help you out.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
