A major change in the eighth generation compared to previous ones is that Pokémon and forms are introduced via game patches instead of exclusively through new games.

Design and development

Development of Pokémon Sword and Shield began in 2016, immediately following the development period of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The conceptual phase lasted approximately a year and the debugging process continued into 2019.[1] With the Galar region based on Great Britain, some of the native Pokémon draw inspiration from British fauna, folklore, and mythology. The legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta are wolf-like creatures, drawing inspiration from wolves that frequently appear in British mythology.[2] Design of the starter Pokémon revolved around the area in which they would be encountered by the player character.[1]

Like the previous generation, redesigned versions of previously released Pokémon ("Galarian Forms") were included alongside brand new creatures.

For the first time, new Pokémon and forms have been added to the generation through game patches (rather than through new game releases). On January 9, 2020 with Sword and Shield patch 1.1.0, Galarian Slowpoke was added to the game.[3] Further patches added other new species, including legendary Pokémon Kubfu and Urshifu in June 2020 and Calyrex, Glastrier and Spectrier in October 2020.[4]

Raids for Amped Form Toxtricity Gigantamax appear natively in Sword, and raids for Low Key Form Toxtricity appear natively in Shield.

Galarian Linoone evolved into this Pokémon as a result of their survival instincts. It is the only Pokémon that can learn the move Obstruct. Obstagoon's design seems to be based on glam rock; notable traits such as its long tongue and star pattern over its right eye bear a strong resemblance to Gene Simmons from the American rock band Kiss. Simmons acknowledged the resemblance and called it "flattering". Its design also seems to take inspiration from another singer - the late David Bowie (specifically his persona Ziggy Stardust). Bowie was a native of the United Kingdom, which coincides with the Galar Region being based on the UK. [21]
Perrserker	Nyaikingu (ニャイキング)	863	Steel		End of evolution	The evolution of Galarian Meowth. Its design is based on Vikings due to the helmet, which is actually just hardened hair.

When Mr. Rime dances, it waves its cane of ice in time with its movements. It can attack using psychic powers which it emanates from the pattern on its belly. The pattern, which resembles a face, tends to be more expressive than Mr. Rime’s actual face.

Players need to give their Milcery a 'sweet' obtained from cafes, and then using their leftstick spin the player character. The player character will strike a pose and then Milcery will evolve. The Milcery will evolve into different flavors of Alcremie based on how long the player 'stirs' it, what direction the player stirs the thumbstick, and what time of day it is.

The Sweets that can be embedded into it include the Strawberry, Flower, Star, Clover, Berry, Ribbon, and Heart Sweets. [22] Certain Alcremie are capable of Gigantamax and in combination with a giant cake formed in the process grow to more than 29 m (95 ft) in height. The cake is extremely resistant to attacks. They use "high-calorie cream missiles" to attack opponents.[23] Critics and fans praised Alcremie's design as cute. Writers of Eater and Time also brought attention to sexual innuendos surrounding the Pokémon's descriptions.[22][16] David Lozada of Game Revolution called Alcremie one of the weirdest Pokémon to date.[19]

Dracozolt	Patchiragon (パッチラゴン)	880	Electric	Dragon	No evolution	Four new fossil Pokémon were introduced in Sword and Shield, seemingly based on the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, a collection of misassembled dinosaur sculptures on display in London's Crystal Palace Park. Each come from various combinations of four fossils: Bird, Dino, Drake and Fish. If you resurrect two fossils, the outcome will be one of these Pokemon. The Fozzilized Bird and Fossilized Dino items are more common in Sword. and the Fossilized Fish and Fossilized Drake items are more common in Shield. Dracozolt was almost unbeatable in its time thanks to its powerful strong legs in its lower half of its body, while the top was entirely too small in size and while it can generate electricity in the muscles in its tail, its depletion of its plant-food resources caused its own extinction. The shaking upper half of Arctozolts body is what generates electricity. It also could preserve food in the ice on its body to save for a later time if it was hungry. The reason why it went extinct in the first place was because it found itself too slow and it had a hard time moving around. Dracovish's powerful jaws and legs made it the most fearless predator of its time, but its own doing made it extinct by over hunting it's underwater prey. Although it can run up to 40 mph, it can't breathe unless it's underwater. It is very popular in competitive Pokémon due to its signature move, Fishious Rend and its statistics compared to the other fossils.[24] The skin on Arctovish's face is completely immune to attacks and while freezing its surroundings is how it hunts prey, it can have a hard time eating it due to the mouth on the top of its head. It couldn't breathe very well, leading to its extinction.

Only one of these two Titans can be caught per game, and the one to be caught is determined by the player.

It may be based on the horse of Conquest from the mythological Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as well as the white knight piece in chess.
