These different adventures will allow you to visit areas of the Galar region that were not accessible in the main game previously as well as bringing multiple new customisation options for both the player and their bike.

The Pokemon Sword Expansion Pass and the Pokemon Shield Expansion Pass will both cost $29.99 and will be available from 9th January.

The Isle of Armor contains a dojo in which you become an apprentice under Mustard, a master who was formerly a Pokemon Champion himself. You will train with Klara in Sword or Avery in Shield when exploring this previously-unseen region.

Legendary Pokemon Kubfu will be entrusted upon you. Once you complete your training, it will evolve into Urshifu with two different styles you can choose for it to take.

This uncharted region of the Galar region sees small communities spread across the harsh landscape. With exploration at its core, you will be able to co-op play in this region and find all of the previous generation's legendary Pokemon through dungeons as well as new forms of old favourites.
