New Mythical Pokémon To Be Revealed On Pokémon Day Later This Month For Sword & Shield

Fans who have already settled into the Galar Region for the latest installments of Sword & Shield for the Pokémon franchise should already be aware of what is next for the current duo of titles as of late. Nintendo alongside Game Freak revealed that instead of the two titles receiving a third game will instead be met with an expansion pass later this year.

This new content campaign will include two story add-ons that will available further into 2020: The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. Each is shared to include new experiences, settings, and of course, Pokémon. Combined between both downloadable content stories is cited to include over 200 new Pokémon.

Now in a recent announcement made by The Pokémon Company, this coming Pokémon Day will disclose a new mythical Pokémon for both Pokémon Sword & Shield. Distributing this information via the official Pokémon website in Japanese, we are thankful that Pokémon-rounded website Serebii has translated the announcement: learning that we will receive this new mythical Pokémon alongside a “Special Max Raid Event” too.

One segment of the announcement that surely stood out is that The Pokémon Company revealing that the unnamed mystical Pokémon will also be showcased in an upcoming animated film, Coco. You can watch the trailer for the movie below:

For a little history lesson, Pokémon Day falls on February 27 which is the day that both Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green both launched in Japan. Since the commencement of the series, the date has been recognized as a celebratory holiday which has been acknowledged by the Japanese Anniversary Association to solidify it as a holiday. This year will mark the 24th anniversary of the series since its debut.

While we did receive mythical Pokémon through traditional means of game releases this past November, the last Pokémon drop was ahead of the release for Pokémon let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee. More specifically with the introduction of Meltan and its evolution Melmetal. You can view the full report by heading here.
