Mewtwo and Kanto starters join Pokémon Sword and Shield Max Raid Battles

Mewtwo and Kanto Starters Now in Pokemon Sword and Shield Max Raid Battles

The highly anticipated arrival of Mewtwo and the Kanto starters is finally here in Pokemon Sword and Shield Max Raid Battles. Trainers can now team up with friends or other players to take on and catch these iconic Pokemon in the Galar region.

With Mewtwo joining the fray, Trainers will face an extremely powerful Psychic-type opponent. This Legendary Pokemon is known for its unmatched psychic abilities and impressive stats, making it a formidable challenge for even the most experienced trainers.

In addition to Mewtwo, Trainers can also encounter and battle the three Kanto starter Pokemon – Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. These fan-favorite Pokemon each have their own unique typing and movesets, providing diverse options for trainers looking to add them to their teams.

To participate in these Max Raid Battles, Trainers need to have an internet connection and a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. They can then join forces with up to three other players to take on Mewtwo and the Kanto starters in the Dynamax Adventures feature.

Dynamax Adventures is a cooperative multiplayer mode where Trainers explore mysterious max raid dens, encountering powerful Pokemon along the way. Each player can choose to bring one rented Pokemon to assist them in battle. Successfully defeating a Pokemon in Max Raid Battles gives Trainers the opportunity to catch it and add it to their collection.

This exciting update provides a chance for Trainers to relive their nostalgic memories of the original Kanto region and add some iconic Pokemon to their teams in Pokemon Sword and Shield.

So, gather your friends, hop online, and embark on thrilling Max Raid Battles to catch Mewtwo and the Kanto starters today!
