NEW POKEMON

CRAMORANT
Category: Gulp Pokémon
Type: Flying/Water
Height: 2'7"
Weight: 39.7 lbs.
Ability: Gulp Missile

A voracious eater—Cramorant is insatiable
When it comes to food, it will try to swallow anything it can fit in its mouth. Sometimes it will swallow things that aren’t its intended prey, spitting them out in a hurry once it realizes its mistake.
It never forgets its bond with its Trainer
Cramorant can be forgetful, but it will never forget a Trainer it grows to trust. However, it seems that even Trainers will face fierce attacks from their Cramorant if they try to steal its food.

Cramorant’s Ability, Gulp Missile
Cramorant’s Ability, Gulp Missile, is a new Ability introduced in these titles, and it can be triggered during battles. After Cramorant uses Surf or Dive, it will return with a catch in its mouth. If it takes damage while in this state, Cramorant will retaliate by spitting out its catch at the attacker!

POLTEAGEIST
Category: Black Tea Pokémon
Type: Ghost
Height: 8"
Weight: .9 lbs.
Ability: Weak Armor

Black tea with a distinct aroma and flavor
Polteageist’s body is made from black tea and is said to have a very distinct aroma and flavor. It will only allow a Trainer it trusts to sample its tea. However, drinking too much can lead to indigestion or an upset stomach, so be careful!
Pests for hotels and restaurants
Many Polteageist make their homes inside hotels and restaurants, disguising themselves and hiding among the tableware. They can pour their power into leftover tea and create even more of their kind, so they’re often treated as pests.

ALCREMIE
Alcremie is known to be able to create whipped cream from its hands. Apparently, there are several variations of color and flavor for this whipped cream, as well as the decorations on Alcremie’s body.


POKEMON CAMP
You can enjoy a Pokémon Camp almost anywhere anytime you’re exploring in the Galar region. You can spend some time with the Pokémon in your party, cook up a nice meal with them and play with them.

• You can watch your Pokémon closely as they have fun camping
• You can just give a call to any Pokémon that’s far away and it’ll come to you
• You can also play with your Pokémon while camping
  There are several toys that your Pokémon will enjoy—you can play with them using a Poké Toy or a variety of bouncing balls.
• You can join the camp of another player or have other players visit your own camp

In your Pokémon Camp, you’ll be able to make wondrous curries. Curry is a dish with tons of variety and you can create curries of many different flavors depending on which ingredients and Berries you choose to add to your pot.
The first step to cooking up some curry is choosing the ingredients you want to add. The type of curry you’ll make will change depending on what ingredients and Berries you choose to put in. After that you will need to fan the flames until they’re strong enough and then stir the pot just right to make curry. Once you’re done cooking, you and your Pokémon can dig in together.


You can join the camp of another player or have other players visit your own camp until a total of four players are gathered to interact with Pokémon or make some curry. You can take only one of your party Pokémon with you.

If you come across a tent while using local communication or when connected to the internet, it’s a sign that another player has set up their Pokémon Camp there. You can take one of your party Pokémon with you, so why not have a look and join their camp! Membership in the Nintendo Switch Online (paid) service is required for joining other players’ Pokémon Camps using an internet connection. You do not need to be have a membership to play with other players using local communication features.

LEAGUE CARD
Pokémon Trainers in the Galar region make League Cards for themselves. These cards provide detailed information about the Trainer, and they are traded and given out across the region. You can use the Card Maker function of Rotomi to customize your card until you get a design you’re happy with.
You’ll be able to change the background, the frame, your expression, your pose and more.

You can trade League Cards with other players, and League Cards are displayed during Link Battles, too. You’ll be able to check all the League Cards you’ve received from others in your album.


Y-COMM FEATURES
One of the features available on the Y-Comm menu is the Surprise Trade. Select a Pokémon from your Boxes that you’re willing to trade and a trading partner will automatically be found as you continue on your adventure. The game will keep trying to match you with a trading partner even as you engage in the Pokémon battles or other activities you’ll find while exploring Galar. You won’t know what Pokémon you’ll get in exchange for your Pokémon until you actually receive it.


CUSTOMIZATION
As you travel, you’ll come across boutiques and hair salons. By visiting them, you can buy new clothes for yourself or change your hairstyle to freshen things up! There are plenty of different clothing items, hairstyles, and even makeup options.
