A new Nintendo Direct "mini" has been released today and it brought with it some new footage of the up-coming expansion for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. You can check out the trailer for yourself below:


As well as showing off some of The Isle of Armor, the Direct also showed us the Gigantamax forms of Rillaboom, Cinderace and Inteleon in action.

The section ended off by revealing that trainers who purchase the expansion pass before the 31st of August 2020 will be able to buy Leons cap and tights in-game as a special bonus.

It has also been confirmed players of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be able to find Gigantamax Copperajah, Charizard, Garbodor and Duraludon in Raids in the Wild Area. These Pokémon will be around until the 27th of April, so get your hands on them while you can!
 
It's nice to know that the two forms of Urshifu aren't game specific to get, despite only able to pick one.

As for Kubfu, I know they say it's a legendary and all, but has an evolution style similar to Rockruff's, does that mean when it's out it'll be restricted like the other legendaries?
