Pokemon from Pokemon Sword and Shield, such as Grookey, can be spotted in the trailer, while fan favorites like Pichu and Wooper also make an appearance. However, it seems like Professor Oak won’t be who the player will report to in this installment, as a different professor is shown in the video. In addition, two different player avatars options shown in the initial clip.

Pre-orders will open on January 15, 2021, with Japanese pre-order rewards including a special Lapras name tag that players can use with the Pokemon Mezastar arcade machines.
