A mischievous Chimp Pokémon that is full of boundless curiosity.
Scorbunny

A Rabbit Pokémon that is always running about, bursting with energy.

You'll Explore the Galar Region!
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be set in Galar, an expansive region with many environments—an idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. The people and Pokémon live together in this region, and they've worked together to develop the industries here.
You'll visit the various Gyms in the Galar region, aiming for the enviable and admirable title of Champion!
Begin your adventure as a Pokémon Trainer by choosing one of three new partner Pokémon: Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble. Then embark on a journey in the new Galar region, where youll challenge the troublemakers of Team Yell, while unraveling the mystery behind the Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta! Explore the Wild Area, a vast expanse of land where the player can freely control the camera.
