IGN got a preview demo for the dlc if anyone want to read the article on it

I'm excited ^^ I mean I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking but I hope its fun! ...and that it's at least a good amount of hours of content and not just like ah hour or something.

I am looking forward to the new content and new (and old) Pokemon that will be added. I'm especially looking forward to hunting for legends again. I was kind of disappointed that there were only 2 in the base game, 3 if you had both or traded. I missed the challenge and sense of accomplishment from trying to catch those things, I'm looking at you Reshiram in Pokemon Ruby! I really enjoyed the addition of the wormhole in the Ultra Sun/Moon entries, largely because of the legends they added, so I am tentatively hopeful for the new additions in gameplay and Pokemon to catch in the two DLC. I also wonder how they will plan to distribute the new mythical over here, since they are doing it with the movie in Japan. Maybe code cards again for Mystery Gift, or resurrect Pokemon Pass?

Klara is a cutie

Avery is a jerk, but I kinda like him. And the new hairstyle for girls is so cute!

I heartily agree with Bluie's assessment. I think my favorite part of the Armor DLC is the new wild area, as most of my time there going forward is going to be exploring and catching. I think Serebii is working on the Diglett collecting last time I looked, but it kind of reminds me of trying to find all the Zygarde pieces again, ugh.

Has anyone tried the Zeraora raids yet? The very first one I came across was a five star square shiny beast of a Pokemon. It wiped out all four battlers with one move! I tried several other times, some in different spots or online with my lightning rod Rhydon, level 99, but still got wiped out with close combat. Eventually I was able to beat a 3 star one, but wow, I am not sure what strategies should be used to stand a chance to the higher level ones.

I'm still deciding if I should buy the dlc... Question, have new pokemon been added with the dlc? New as in those who weren't in the final 400 in the base game, nor gotten through trades or Pokemon Home.

To my knowledge, there are only two brand new Pokemon introduced in the Isle of Armor DLC, Kubfu and Urshifu, not counting the new mythical which I am not sure if it counts as part of the DLC or not since I haven't heard how it will be distributed outside of Japan yet. The Tundra DLC is supposed to have new regional variants of the three legendary birds, and two brand new Reggi Pokemon, one that's electric and one that's a dragon type, but I forget their names. Other than those few I think all the other new Pokemon have been in previous games, but weren't in Sword/Shield before. I think the Armor DLC adds around 100 or so more, if I understood the new regional dex correctly, so I am hoping Tundra will reintroduce more as well.
Edit: I forgot there's another new legend in Tundra, Calyrex, that looks like a little deer with a balloon/tree thing on its head.

I really like the additon of Kubfu and it's evolutions. It's not breedable and you can only get one per save file. Which is fine I suppose but what bugs me the most is that you can only complete one of the towers once in order to evolve it. As someone who collects a living Pokedex including most alternate forms I find this annoying. I can easily obtain another Kubfu via trading but I'm unable to evolve it myself as I've already evolved one of them and now both towers are inaccessible.

I do like the new wild area though.

I haven't purchased the DLC yet but when the update dropped, I transferred a Larvesta from Black to Shield because Volcarona is one of my favorite Pokemon and was missing initially.




I transferred some others too and actually ended up with a shiny Clawitzer.
