Your Starters for Pokemon Sword and Shield
Check out the first three Pokemon you will be meeting when you start you’re new adventure in the Galar region.
SOBBLE (Type: WATER)
A somewhat timid Water Lizard Pokémon that shoots out attacks as it hides itself in the water.
SCORBUNNY (Type: FIRE)
A Rabbit Pokémon that is always running about, bursting with energy.
GROOKEY (Type: GRASS)
A mischievous Chimp Pokémon that is full of boundless curiosity.
Pokemon Sword and Shield will be set in a region known as Galar. This region is packed with many types of environments which include huge cities, lush green countrysides, thick forests, and snow-covered mountains.
You’ll be visiting the various gyms in the Galar region, aiming for the enviable and admirable title of Champion! This is something refreshing to the fans of this franchise, as this was something removed in the previous Pokemon game, Pokemon Sun & Moon back in 2016.
