Today, February 27, is the day to celebrate the anniversary of one of the most famous franchises of video games. He has arrived Pokémon Day, the day that pocket monsters turn 24. A day that promised to arrive full of ads, among which the presentation of a new mythical Pokémon is expected, and that has already begun with an interesting announcement for the latest games in the saga. Pokémon Sword and Shield receive Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Mewtwo in their raids for Pokémon Day.
A most unexpected premiere, although it comes with nuances. And, although it is true that the trio of Kanto starters is available and can be captured in the Raids for a limited time, the same cannot be said of the legendary classic. Yes, players will be able to fight against him, and threatens to make things very difficult due to his powerful stats, but they will not be able to capture him at the end of the fight, as is usually done when facing these team battles. The only way, for now, to get Mewtwo in Sword and Shield is to transfer it using the recently launched Pokémon HOME app.

This Pokémon legend will be available in Galar raids until next March 2 at 09:00 local time. There is plenty of time to stand up with a friend and, at least, keep the rewards that can be obtained after defeating him. Meanwhile, those who want to throw Poké Balls can at least go for the original three initials that come with it. Pokémon that, we understand, will not yet have its Gigamax form active, except Charmander, since these will arrive with the Sword and Shield expansions.
Good ad coordination for a very special day for IP. Recently, Mewtwo Battleship was returning to Pokémon GO to stay in the legendary raids, although here it can be captured. A pity that this particular form cannot be transferred to HOME yet.
Preparing Galar for the arrival of a new legend in Pokémon Sword and Shield
Without a doubt, one of the most anticipated Pokémon Day ads is the new mythical creature of the eighth generation. Thanks to the Japanese magacines we have already been able to see at least what their silhouette is, and we also know that it will be strongly linked to the new pocket monsters movie, Pokémon CoCo. Now, it is expected that throughout the day we know his name, his real form and his types.
In fact, it is also expected that it will be confirmed when it will arrive at the games and that, when the time comes, we will discover what needs to be done in order to capture it. At the moment, everything related to this new addition to the Pokédex is a mystery, although we hope to get out of doubt sooner rather than later. Surely, this afternoon the official details are given.
