Pokemon Sword and Shield Reveals Sirfetch’d

Pokemon Sword and Shield Sirfetch'd

Pokemon Sword and Shield is less than two months away from release. Nintendo and the Pokemon Company are still very slowly leaking out the new Pokemon that are going to be in the game. And now, a new mini-trailer has revealed an evolution for Kanto classic Farfetch’d. Meet…Sirfetch’d.

Get it? Cause the bird in a knight now? I’ll move on.

Rumors of a Farfetch’d evolution have been going on since a reveal of canceled Pokemon and Pokemon evolutions came out showing one for Farfetch’d, and now, we know that the bird is getting its due once more.

The leek reed that it used as its weapon has now become a full-on sword, and it’s got a shield too (get it?). The Pokemon has the ability Steadfast, and will be exclusive to Pokemon Sword.

Both Sword and Shield will release on Nintendo Switch November 15th. Here’s a full description of the new Pokemon:

The Farfetch’d of the Galar region can evolve into Sirfetch’d after experiencing many battles. They are calm and collected, and they make a point of always battling fairly. They are so noble in battle that they are often chosen as a motif for paintings. Of particular note is a painting—famous in the Galar region—that depicts a duel between a Sirfetch’d and an Escavalier.

In battle, Sirfetch’d uses the sharp stalk of its leek as a lance and the thick leaves as a shield. It maintains this leek over the span of many years and treasures it more than anything. When its leek finally withers, Sirfetch’d will leave the battlefield and retire from battling entirely.

Meteor Assault is a new move introduced in these games that only Sirfetch’d can learn! Sirfetch’d points its leek at the opponent and charges toward them at great speed. This move is devastatingly powerful! However, it appears that the move also puts great strain on Sirfetch’d. It will be unable to take action immediately after using this move.
