Pokemon Sword and Shield just launched its first DLC expansion, The Isle of Armor, giving fans a new area to explore and new Pokemon to add to their collection. Now it appears as though the upcoming Crown Tundra DLC is set to add even more Pokemon to the mix, with many of them being legendary Pokemon that are currently unavailable to catch in the Pokemon Sword and Shield base game.
A new datamine by Twitter user SciresM has leaked that Pokemon Sword and Shield's Crown Tundra DLC will be separated into chapters, and these chapters will generally focus on legendary and mythical Pokemon. If the leaked information is correct, then Pokemon Sword and Shield fans can look forward to encountering the likes of the Swords of Justice (Cobalion, Keldeo, Terrakion, Virizion), the Regis (including Regigigas), the Galarian Legendary Birds (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos), and the Ultra Beasts from Pokemon Sun and Moon.
The leaked Pokemon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra chapter titles are "A Legendary Tree for a Legendary Three" (Galarian Legendary Birds), "They Came from the Ultra Beyond" (Ultra Beasts), "The Scared Bonds of Sovereign and Steed" (Swords of Justice), and "The Terrible Titans...Lurking Locked Away" (the Regis).
It's been known for some time that the Pokemon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra DLC will have a legendary focus, but this is the first indication of which legendary Pokemon specifically will be included in the lineup. It's possible that there are even more legendary Pokemon than the ones listed here in store for Sword and Shield fans once the Crown Tundra DLC releases, but that remains to be seen.
While there will be many returning legendary Pokemon in the Pokemon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra DLC, the expansion will also introduce some new legendary Pokemon to the mix as well. This includes the Galarian Legendary Birds, Calyrex, Regidrago, and Regieleki.
The Pokemon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra expansion will also be adding new Gigantamax forms to the games, with Blastoise and Venusaur Gigantamax forms already confirmed for the DLC. It's possible that Crown Tundra will add even more Gigantamax forms as well, though they have yet to be announced.
The Pokemon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra release date isn't until sometime later this year, so fans still have a few months until they can start hunting down legendary Pokemon.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
