Game Description
Pokémon Sword on Nintendo Switch brings the world of Pokémon into full 3D with an expansive new region to explore, new mechanics to master, and a fresh generation of creatures to catch, train, and battle. Set in the Galar region, inspired by the landscapes and culture of the United Kingdom, the adventure introduces players to rolling fields, bustling cities, snowy mountains, and vast stadiums where Pokémon battles are treated as major sporting events. With your starter partner at your side, the journey begins to challenge the Gym Leaders of Galar and rise to the Champion’s throne.
The game introduces the powerful new Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics, allowing Pokémon to grow to colossal sizes during battle with devastating moves and flashy transformations. Alongside these innovations are the Wild Area—an open expanse filled with roaming Pokémon and shifting weather patterns—and Max Raid Battles, where trainers can team up to take down massive foes. With dozens of new Pokémon species, regional forms, and fresh evolutions, Pokémon Sword reinvents the franchise for the Nintendo Switch while keeping the thrill of “catch ’em all” at its core.
Beyond its gameplay mechanics, Pokémon Sword is a milestone in the series as the first mainline Pokémon RPG released on a home console. It captures the charm and accessibility of earlier handheld entries while scaling up for the Switch’s hybrid design. For both longtime trainers and newcomers, it’s a landmark adventure that redefined how players experience Pokémon in the modern era.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Released in November 2019 alongside its counterpart Pokémon Shield, Pokémon Sword marked the eighth generation of the Pokémon franchise and its debut on the Nintendo Switch. It was developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, quickly becoming one of the best-selling titles on the system with over 25 million copies sold worldwide. Its innovations—particularly the Wild Area and Dynamax system—pushed the franchise toward more expansive world design.
For collectors, Pokémon Sword is significant as the first Pokémon RPG ever released on a home console rather than a handheld-exclusive system. Special editions, steelbooks, and dual packs with Pokémon Shield have become highly sought after among fans. The game also laid the groundwork for future Switch Pokémon releases, solidifying its role as a turning point in the series’ evolution from portable beginnings to hybrid-console dominance.
