The Pokémon Company have announced that the Pokémon Sword & Shield Expansion Pass Part 2: The Crown Tundra launches on October 22, 2020.
New Galarian Form
Galarian Slowking: Poison/Psychic-type with a new ability: Curious Medicine (When a Pokémon with this Ability enters the battlefield, allies’ stat changes are reset)
It can learn the new move Eerie Spell, a Psychic-type special move in which the Pokémon attacks with tremendous psychic power. If hit, the opponent take damage and also loses 3 PP from the move it last used.
Galarian Star Tournament
Once you progress far enough in your adventure in The Crown Tundra, you’ll be able to participate in the Galarian Star Tournament, held in the city of Wyndon. In this tournament you’ll be able to pick a partner from among the many Trainers you’ve met throughout your adventures in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield—as well as the Expansion Pass—and team up for a Multi Battle tournament.
New items: Ability Patch
If you use one Ability Patch on a Pokémon, its Ability will change to its species’ Hidden Ability (if it has one).
Pokémon GO connectivity with Pokémon HOME
Connectivity between Pokémon HOME and Pokémon GO is planned to be up and running by the end of the year.
There are some special Pokémon that cannot be sent to Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO.
Be aware that Pokémon transferred to Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO cannot be returned to Pokémon GO.
New Gigantamax Pokémon
Gigantamax Melmetal
Type: steel
G-Max move: G-Max Meltdown
G-Max Meltdown is a superpowerful move that slams opponents with shock waves and swirling liquid metal. This move doesn’t only deal damage to opponents—it also prevents them from using the same move consecutively.
To get this special Melmetal you have to send a Pokémon to Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO, you’ll receive the Mythical Pokémon Melmetal as a Mystery Gift in Pokémon HOME (mobile version).
Note: you cannot feed Melmetal the Max Soup from The Isle of Armor
As an additional benefit, if you send a Pokémon to Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to open the Mystery Box in Pokémon GO. Doing so will make the Mythical Pokémon Meltan appear on the map for a limited time.
