==Plot==
==Blurb==-->
 
==Features==
The games ignore some of the changes introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], returning to the more traditional gameplay last seen in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. [[Wild Pokémon]] are now encountered as random encounters (rather than being visible in the overworld like in Pokémon Let's Go) and the player can battle them (rather than only catch them).
 
Known as the Gym Challenge, [[Gym]]s that the player must battle with the goal of becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}} will return to the games, after being replaced by [[island challenge|trials]] in {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. The challenge culminates in the annual Champion Cup tournament where the player may challenge the Champion.
 
===Wild Area===
{{main|Wild Area}}
The Wild Area is a vast, open area that connects several towns in the [[Galar]] region.
 
===Dynamax and Gigantamax===
{{main|Dynamax}}
{{main|Gigantamax}}
Dynamax is a new type of transformation that allows any Pokémon from the Galar region to power up and become larger using the [[Dynamax Band]]. After Dynamaxing, a Pokémon can use a [[Max Move]].
 
Gigantamax is a special phenomenon that also changes the appearance of a few individuals of certain species of Pokémon. Like Dynamaxing, the Pokémon is increased in power and becomes bigger. A Gigantamax Pokémon can use a [[G-Max Move]].
 
===Max Raid Battles===
{{main|Max Raid Battle}}
Max Raid Battles are a new cooperative feature that allows up to four players to challenge a Dynamax Pokémon together over local wireless or [[Nintendo Switch Online]].

Replacing the [[Rotom Pokédex]] of the [[Generation VII]] games, the Rotom Phone acts not only as a [[Pokédex]] but also has additional features.


==Region==
===Y-Comm===
[[File:Galar artwork.png|left|200|thumb|The [[Galar]] region]]
{{main|Y-Comm}}
Pokémon Sword and Shield take place in the [[Galar]] region. This region has many diverse environments for the player to explore, alongside the cities and towns dotted throughout the land, these include plains, forests, snowy mountains and caves. Connecting some of the larger cities appears to be some sort of train system in the maps north. Unlike [[Alola]], these games will return to having [[Gym]]s that the player must battle with the goal of becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}.
The Y-Comm serves as an interface to connect with other players over local wireless or on the internet through [[Nintendo Switch Online]]. Players can [[trade]], {{pkmn|battle}}, swap [[League Card]]s, and conduct a [[Surprise Trade]].


<!--==Plot==
===Battle Stadium===
==Blurb==-->

Players can participate in Ranked Battles, Casual Battles, and Official Competitions as well as host or join [[Friendly Competition]]s.
As well as the return of [[Gym]]s to the main series, also returning is the ability to fight [[Wild Pokémon]] which had been previously removed in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. These games also return to the random encounter system, as seen in most core titles.
 
===Rotomi===
{{main|Rotomi}}
Rotomi replaces the [[PC]]s in previous games and has several features including allowing players to send their Pokémon on [[Poké Job]]s and design their [[League Card]].
