It has been many years since an Older Pokemon received an additional evolution to its Evolution Chain. Sure, the Pokemon Company has given us
Mega Evolutions and Alolan Forms (and now
Galarian Forms) in the interim, but fans haven't seen an older Evolution Chain grow since basically the 4th Generation (not counting the addition of Sylveon). But now, coming in
Pokemon Sword & Shield, it appears all of that will change!
Apart of the
Galarian Forms Reveal, it was also shown that the
Zigzagoon/
Linoone Evolution Chain will receive an additional evolution to it (but only in its Galarian Evolution Chain). This Pokemon will be called Obstagoon, and it will be a Dark/Normal Type Pokemon like Galarian Zigzagoon and Linoone. It will have the incredible
Abilities of Reckless & Guts, and it will even know the newest move called Obstruct. This
Attack causes damage to a foe, while having the secondary effect of also Taunting the Pokemon.
