A new video for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Sword and Shield details new features and items that will be included in the upcoming adventure in the Galar𓂃 region.&n💮bsp;

New items include special Mints that can change the effects of a Pokemon's Nature. Natures were first introduced in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire and the different temperaments would affect a Pokemon's stats. So, for example, a Bold Pokemon would have incꦕreased Defense and reduced Attack. The new Mint varieties include Lonely, Modest, Mild, Hasty, and Naive. 

We get to see how the Modest Mint affects Pikachu's stats, with⭕ the item description reading: 🐻"When a Pokemon smells this mint, its Sp. Atk will grow more easily, but its Attack will grow more slowly." 

As well as of keeping your Pokemon minty fresh, you can also give them different Supplements that will increase their base stats. Described as a "nutritious drink for Pokemon", Supplement types include Calcium, Protein, Iron, Carbos, Zinc, HP UP, and PP Max. Gengar gets loaded up with a very healthy 26 doses of Calciumꦛ, which increases the Ghost Pokemon's Sp. Atk base points from 140 to 170. 

New experience boosting candies variants will also be coming to Pokemon Sword and Shie🗹ld that will enable you to level up your Pokemon. Exp. Candies that come in different sizes including XS, S, M, L, and XL. We get to see an XL candy used on Zweilous. The XL candy "grants a single Pokemon a very large amount of Exp. Points." 

New features are also being introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield, such as Pokemon of the same species being able to pass Egg Moves to each other when you breed. One very convenient new addition lets you access your Pokemon Box from almost anywhere instead of always having to run to a computer ♒in a PokeCentre. This will make changing up your team an absolute breeze a🥂s you run around the region.

Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After ♒writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews,🔴 and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
