The next Pokémon Direct for Sword and Shield will air on Wednesday, May 22. There will be an announcement for it the day before. Trailer will show:
-New legendaries, both wolves and both pure steel. Signature moves are shown as well as their abilities. Nothing too special. Wasn’t crazy about the design.
-Bird Pokémon shown. It’s a blue jay (Normal/Flying at least for the first form)
-Bug Pokemon shown. A small round beetle. Pure bug for the first form at least
-poison dart frog Pokémon with huge hands. Gets a move called Venom Clap, which does damage and sets up Toxic Spikes. Poison/Water
-Shows the professor. It’s a woman named Professor Cypress. Her lab is the house by the lake, overgrown by plants (she studies the effects of human innovation on nature and Pokémon)
-First gym leader is an old blacksmith who remembers the region when it only started to begin innovation. He’s in the steampunk city.
-trailer talks about the importance of trains in the region
-Don’t really get to see many new areas in the trailer, except new parts of the steampunk city. Including inside a train station.
I should note—I don’t have inside information on the game itself. Just this specific direct.
