Pokémon Sword and Shield: Difference between revisions

** Another contender is Glimwood Tangle. Not exactly a large forest, it's still dark and ominous, with giant colorful, glowing mushrooms. [[The Fair Folk| Many of the wild Pokemon here are Fairy Type.]]

* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Pretty much the whole point of Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing.

* [[No Export for You]]: An in universe example, Dynamaxing (and by extension, Gigantamax) is a phenomenon that's only exclusive to Pokemons found in the Galar region.

** Preordering the game from Walmart or Amazon will give gamers a special skin for the pokemon trainers.

* [[No Sense of Direction]]: A problem Leon has; [[Running Gag|every time he shows up]], he or someone else will mention how terrible he is with directions.

* [[Precious Puppy|Precious Puppies]]: Yamper

* [[The Rival]]: You've got ''three'' in this game, and each is a different type as far as rivalry goes:

** Hop is the friendly rival that the protagonist has known since childhood, energetic and exuberant almost to a fault.

* [[Rivals Team Up]]: In real life, gamers can connect online just to take down a wild Gigantamax pokemon. Also, in-game, both Hop and Marnie aid the player against the villains, Hop doing so again in the post-game story.

* [[Scenery Porn]]

* [[Sissy Villain]]: Bede; pink overcoat that resembles a dress, large blue eyes with long lashes... A lot of fans have actually gotten his gender wrong, possibly because the first time ''anyone'' refers to him with a pronoun occurs after you've beaten the fifth Gym.

* [[Socialization Bonus]]: While camping, one can socialize with other real life trainers and their pokemon.

* [[Up To Eleven]]: {{spoiler|Normally, Eternatus has a base stat total of 690, which is a respectable total even for Legendary Pokemon. (About 10 points higher than Mewtwo or Zekrom.) It has incredible base HP, Spec. ATK, and Speed (140, 145, and 130, respectively), and the other stats are solid too, its lowest being ATK (which a Pokemon with its moveset likely won't use much anyway). However, when it assumes [[One-Winged Angel|Eternamax form]] during the story, those stats go through the roof, with a base stat total of 1,125! Its HP, DEF and Spec. DEF become ''at least'' 250, while its Spec. ATK and Speed become 125 and 130. This gives it, without a doubt, the ''highest base stat total for any Pokemon in the history of the franchise!'' Sadly, there is no way (to date) for a tamed Eternatus to assume this form, the player can only use its regular form after catching it.}}

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Bede tries something like this as the Championship Semi-Finals start, storming into the stadium (now wearing his Gym-Leader attire) and demanding a battle with the player. While he technically has no right to do so, having been disqualified earlier, he offers the player a wager: if he wins, he gets to take the player's place in the Champion Cup; if he loses, he'll retire as a trainer. Bede sees this as win-win for him, because if he loses, he can use this as an excuse to get away from Opal; he's not very happy as her protege, a situation he describes as [[Training from Hell]]. Unfortunately, it doesn't work quite as he planned; despite losing, he puts on such a spectacular show that the crowd doesn't ''want'' him to retire, and their support makes him feel obligated to continue.}}
