Pokémon Sword and Shield Introduce Zarude, the Newest Mythical Pokémon
Pokémon Sword and Shield players have something new to look forward to – the introduction of Zarude, the latest mythical Pokémon.
Zarude is a Dark- and Grass-type Pokémon that possesses unique abilities. With its Leaf Guard ability, Zarude is protected against status conditions when the sunlight is harsh. Additionally, it can use the Jungle Healing ability to recover its own HP and the HP of its allies in Grassy Terrain.
In terms of appearance, Zarude stands on two legs and is covered in dark fur. It possesses razor-sharp claws and vines that allow it to swing from trees. This Pokémon belongs to the Rogue Monkey species, and its Quick Attack and Knock Off moves can deal some serious damage in battles.
To get ahold of Zarude, trainers will need to obtain a special code that can be redeemed in Pokémon Sword and Shield. This code will be shared through various means, such as Pokémon Trainer Club newsletters and giveaways, so keep an eye out for it.
The announcement for Zarude coincided with a new feature in Pokémon Home that allows trainers to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Bank into Pokémon Sword and Shield. As a result, trainers can bring over their favorite Pokémon from previous games and add them to their team, including Zarude.
So, get ready to explore the Galar region with the newest addition to the mythical Pokémon roster- Zarude! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to strengthen your team and take your battles to new heights.
