You will not need to register on the Pokémon Global Link to participate, but a Nintendo Switch Online membership and Nintendo Account are required to use the game’s online features – accessed by opening the X menu in your game and selecting VS, Battle Stadium, and then Online Competitions.

In Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, you will choose between three starter Pokémon – Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble – before having the chance to explore the Galar region – with its idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. Challenging the Gyms in the region, you will once again look to become Champion.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will release exclusively for Nintendo Switch worldwide on November 15th.
