The Galar Region is where both
Pokemon Sword & Shield take place, being based upon the real world location of Britain. In the
Galar Region, there is vast
Wild Area between many of the larger cities, the same that many are connected by a train system. In the Wild Area, Pokemon of all sorts roam free.
Pokemon Dens that are home to
Max Raid Battles are also found in the Wild Area, and players can connect to one another in this same area with internet connection.
The Galar Region is home to 81 Brand
New Pokemon and 400 Pokemon as a whole, though you will need both versions of the game in order to obtain all of them (as well as older Mainstream Pokemon Games and
Pokemon HOME to obtain the additional 35 Pokemon that are also coded in the game via transfer). Like most other regions, there are eight
Pokemon Gyms and Gym Leaders to defeat during journey, except they are completed in a Stadium Atmosphere. After defeating all eight Pokemon Gyms, a trainer enters Champion Cup instead of battling an Elite Four as in other regions. In this tournament, players will face other Main Characters and Gym Leaders on their way to challenging the for the
Galar Region Championship.
Along the way, trainers will have to deal with
Team Yell causing mischief in order to help another trainer,
Marnie, become the next
Galar Region Champion. A trainer will also have keep an eye on
Chairman Rose and his company
Macro Cosmos as they advance through the adventure. Once the Main Story has been completed, a
Battle Tower will also be created in
The Galar Region.
