Like all Mainstream Pokemon Games, players will have the chance to choose from three
Starter Pokemon when beginning their journey. In
Pokemon Sword & Shield, players will have the choice between
Grookey,
Scorbunny and
Sobble. Like all
Starter Pokemon,
The Galar Region Starters can evolve twice. However, unlike previously released Starter Pokemon, the
Galar Region Starters will be a Pure Type. This means that no matter how many times they evolve, they will remain the same type and won't add a dual type.
All three
Galar Region Starters will first evolve at Level 16, and later into their Final Evolution at Level 35.
Grookey, the Grass Type
Starter, will evolve into Thwackey and then later into
Rillaboom.
Scorbunny, the Fire Type Starter, will evolve into Raboot and then later into
Cinderace. And finally,
Sobble, the Water Type Starter, will evolve into Drizzile and then later into
Inteleon. The Games can be won no matter the
Starter Pokemon a player chooses.
