Pokemon Sword And Shield Shows Off Gigantamax Pokemon, Including The Early Purchase Bonus Meowth

Earlier today, Gigantamax Charizard, Eevee, Meowth, and Pikachu were leaked. Now, the teased video presentation shows these Pokemon Sword and Shield Gigantamax Pokemon in action. A number of new forms have been shown, including one belonging to a special Meowth that will be an early purchase bonus for people who buy and play the game by January 15, 2020.

This Gigantamax Pokemon Sword and Shield video began with a look at Gigantamax Pikachu. Once you use the mechanic, it has G-Max Volt Crash. To get it, you need to have Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! play records. There is also Gigantamax Eevee, with its G-Max Cuddle. Likewise, it requires Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! play records. Gigantamax Charizard has the G-Max Wildfire move. If you use it, non-fire types take damage for four turns. Gigantamax Butterfree has G-Max Befuddle, which can inflict paralysis, poison, or sleep. As for the special “longcat” Meowth, it has G-Max Gold Rush. That move confuses enemies and gives you in-game money.

Here is the full Gigantamax video.

Pokemon Sword and Shield will be released on the Nintendo Switch on November 15, 2019.
