A new species of pocket monster was hinted ahead of the release of the upcoming game "Pokemon Sword and Shield." The game's official website is known to give hints on the pocket monsters anticipated to arrive in the game. The first hint on the official website of the game was a pixelated image.

Eventually, it was revealed to be Sirfetch'd, a new Pokemon from the franchise's Galar region. After that, the "Pokemon Sword and Shield's" official website revealed that the site experienced a glitch. Later, it said that it was caused by a dual electric and ghost type pokemon Rotom.

The website stated that the incident was due to a wild Rotom that invaded its servers and caused momentary disruption on the site. But, it appears that these are not the only Pokemon coming to "Pokemon Sword and Shield." The Super Secret Club part of the Japanese "Pokemon Sword and Shield" official website is hinting of another creature.

Throughout the website, Kingler can be seen. Shiny Kinglers are appearing randomly on the site, which seems to be replicating the rate of Shiny Pokemon. While we only have hints, for now, the most obvious meaning that we can derive from this is that either a Galarian Kingler or Krabby is coming to "Pokemon Sword and Shield." It could also mean a totally new evolution similar to that of Sirfetch'd.

It could also mean something else such as an acknowledgment that Shiny Pokemon will also be in "Pokemon Sword and Shield." It is not really surprising if the shinies are arriving in the game since they have become an increasingly popular aspect of Pokemon titles. It could also mean nothing, just the company poking fun at fans to keep them hyped and keep on speculating about the game.

"Pokemon Sword and Shield" is going to have a 24-hour live stream today, so we will hear more interesting news about the game any minute from now. Meanwhile, a pre-order bonus for "Pokemon Sword and Shield" was recently revealed giving players more incentives in purchasing the upcoming Pokemon title. Players who pre-ordered the game will get figurines of Pokemon from the Galar region. This includes Sobble, Scorbunny, and Grookey.

 

"Pokemon Sword and Shield" players can choose between the three pokemon or they could also purchase the "Pokemon Sword and Shield" dual pack and get all three figurines. Sadly, this pre-order is only limited to purchases made in Japan.
