Pokémon returning in The Crown Tundra possibly leaked by Game Freak

06/21/2020

The first half of the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass, The Isle of Armor, released last week, and fans have already found possible leaks about the second half, The Crown Tundra. The Crown Tundra isn’t going to be available anytime soon, but here are some of the Pokémon we may see returning later this year.

The leak

@abcboy101 on Twitter found that Game Freak left out Pokédex entries for Pokémon that are returning to the game. By using the excluded entries, they made a list of the ones that will likely return.

So GF has basically confirmed the Pokémon they plan to add in The Crown Tundra with the dex entries they left out (+/- Mewtwo, Mew, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, which are already available but not with dex entries) https://t.co/NyhNVG8VPq pic.twitter.com/Nbv27LnBql

The image in the tweet shows 119 Pokémon, which is analogous with the amount from The Isle of Armor. In addition to this, many of these Pokémon have been shown previously in trailers for The Crown Tundra. This lends credence to the leak.

Some of these Pokémon may be in a different form. We already know the legendary birds will have new Galar forms. It’s likely that more of the returning species might get new forms as well.
