Latest Pokemon Sword/Shield reveal introduces Poke Jobs and form changing Pokemon.

There have been plenty of awesome updates lately about what to expect from the next installment in the Pokemon series. The more recent introduction of some new Pokemon being among them. Now the Pokemon Company has given us much more details in regards to some of the new features that we will see in Pokemon Sword/Shield, including new characters and monsters with unique abilities.

Poke Jobs

Since always and forever, Pokemon have been super handy little creatures that have helped us accomplish wonders and achieve our grandest dreams. Now, our sometimes not-so-cuddly companions will have the ability to help us in new ways with Poke jobs. You will be able to task your calamitous critters with jobs from the Rotomi machine, a new device located throughout the the Galar region in all of the Pokemon Centers. These machines will not only give you access to the jobs (which will help you and your Pokemon grow), but you also be able to access your storage and even the Lotto-ID. Figuring out which Pokemon is best suited for each job will maximize the outcome of each task.

Form Changing Pokemon

Pokemon have always been able to change form. Until now, those changes were pretty much exclusive to Evolution. The latest iteration in the Pokemon series introduces a new type of Pokemon that has the ability to change its form without evolution. The change can be effected by certain items (like evolution) but can also come from the creatures very own abilities. Not only can these changes alter the appearance of the monsters, but can also change their abilities and moves type. Morpeko is a new monster with the ability to change form. It is a ravenous little cutie that changes into meanie any time it gets too hungry, like most of us.

Galarian Forms

Some Pokemon in Sword/Shield will actually have forms that are specific to the region. Given that the game takes place in the Galar Region, these are obviously referred to as Galarian forms. These specific forms can not only be found just in Galar, but their evolutions can also only exist from the Galarian form of that Pokemon. Example: the new Obstagoon can only be obtained through the max evolution of the Galarian form of Zigzagoon. Otherwise, you will not be able to evolve past Linoone.

Team Yell – New Rivals

Some new bad guys will also be coming to the Pokemon universe, and they look pretty hardcore. They are called Team Yell, and they have absolutely no trouble announcing their intentions. They are the new baddies and are here to hinder you in any way possible, much like the ne’er-do-well’s of every other title in the series. Always putting up a lackluster front to keep you from reaching the opponents that actually matter, the Gym Leaders and other close heavy trainers.
