Pokémon Sword is a landmark entry in the mainline Pokémon RPG series, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Set in the vast and beautiful Galar region — inspired by the United Kingdom — Pokémon Sword invites you to embark on a grand journey to become the Galar region's Champion. With a sprawling open Wild Area, the spectacular Dynamax and Gigantamax battle mechanic, and Sword-exclusive Pokémon including the legendary Zacian, Pokémon Sword is the most ambitious and visually stunning mainline Pokémon game ever made.
The Galar Region
The Galar region is one of the most beautifully realized settings in Pokémon history — a land of rolling green countryside, industrial cities, snowy mountains, and ancient ruins inspired by the landscapes and culture of the United Kingdom. From the charming town of Wedgehurst and the bustling Motostoke to the majestic Hammerlocke and the iconic Wyndon stadium, every location in Galar is rich with character and detail.
The Wild Area — Open-World Exploration
The Wild Area is a revolutionary addition to the Pokémon formula — a vast open-world zone connecting multiple towns where wild Pokémon roam freely in the overworld across diverse environments. The Wild Area's weather changes dynamically, affecting which Pokémon appear and creating a living ecosystem that rewards regular exploration. It's the most open and free Pokémon experience ever offered in a mainline game.
Dynamax & Gigantamax
Galar's signature battle mechanic — Dynamax — allows Pokémon to grow to colossal size during battle, dramatically increasing their power and granting access to powerful Max Moves. Select Pokémon can Gigantamax — transforming into unique, spectacular forms with exclusive G-Max Moves. Sword-exclusive Gigantamax forms and the legendary Zacian make this version a must for collectors and competitive players alike.
Sword-Exclusive Pokémon & Max Raid Battles
Pokémon Sword features version-exclusive Pokémon including the legendary Zacian, Deino, Jangmo-o, Farfetch'd (Galarian), and others not available in Shield. Team up with up to three other players online or locally in Max Raid Battles — cooperative encounters against powerful Dynamaxed wild Pokémon that reward rare Pokémon and items.
