- 5 years ago
Since they were first shown off, Pokemon Sword and Shield have become two Nintendo Switch games at the top of fans' wishlists. Thanks to a new Nintendo Direct, we now know the games' global release date has been set for November 15.
In addition, developer Game Freak shared more details on the gameplay innovations seen in Sword and Shield. A new battle mechanic named Dynamax turns Pokemon far bigger than they've been seen before. Like Sun and Moon's Z-Moves, Dynamax can be triggered once per battle. It boosts your Pokemon's power and turns all their moves into Max Moves. The creature returns to normal after three turns.
