by

A new mythical Pokémon previously teased by The Pokémon Company has been officially revealed!

Zarude in Pokémon Sword & Shield

The new Pokémon is called Zarude (ザルード/Zarudo) and is Dark/Grass type. It has the ability Leaf Guard This new Pokémon will feature in Pokémon the Movie Coco and Pokémon Sword & Shield later this year.

Zarude is the Rogue Monkey Pokémon and when fighting, it swings around using trees and their branches, attacking relentlessly with its sharp claws or any other means it has. Its quick wit helps it excel in battles.

How to get Zarude in Pokémon Sword & Shield

Like other Mythical Pokémon, Zarude will most likely be distributed in a future event. For players in Japan, this usually takes place with the theatrical release of a Pokémon movie and requires buying a ticket to the film. Luckily, those living in other countries usually get free downloads or in-store events later down the line.

  4. This Pokemon of the Year nonsense finally confirms the longtime fact that Decidueye and Rowlet are more popular than Incinesnore. Fans of Sausage Fingers the Tiger have been spreading their contrarian propaganda ever since Sakurai made that fatal mistake- taking it as a personal win against the already established regime of precious marshmallow owl boi. But no longer will we live in the shadows. The proof is here and pokemon will never be the same. Thank you for coming to my Teddiursa Talk

  5. So, Zarude starts with “Za” just like Zacian and Zamazenta. If that is not a coincidence, the other movie Mythicals might start with “Za” as well.

    Assuming the theory about the Mythicals being counterparts to the Starters is correct, I think the bunny Mythical’s name will start with “Zagi” and the chameleon/lizard Mythical will start with “Zard” or “Zad”. Heck, if Zarude is indeed “the rude”, then the lizard one might be “Zadrake” (the drake).

  7. So I’ve started up sword finally. Current team!
    Lucky the Scorbunny lv 11- my starter which is a hyperactive pokemon. Will often run around like crazy often knocking things down.

    Nebula the blipbug lv 9- timid Pokémon I met on route one. Lucky startled it when we first got to route one by running up to it and trying to kick it like a rock. Quickly threw a ball to help the poor thing.

  9. Quick team update before I go to bed. 1 badge
    Lucky the scorbunny(will evolve soon) lv 21

    Nebula the Dottler lv 20- Nebula the Dottler lv 11- since evolving Nebula has became a lot more laid back and lazy. Often will just sit around doing nothing. Scorbunny now thinks it’s a ball and tries to kick it which nebula blocks with reflect

    Sting the zigzagoon lv 19- Nebula the Dottler lv 11- since evolving Nebula has became a lot more laid back and lazy. Often will just sit around doing nothing. Scorbunny now thinks it’s a ball and tries to kick it which nebula blocks with reflect

    Applin lv 19- while on route 5 I picked up what I thought was a fancy apple for camping. Turned out to be a Pokémon named applin. The little one wasn’t too happy about me picking it up and went to do defend itself. Quickly Caught it and it’s starting to settle in. I’ve noticed it has a very huge sweet tooth.(I won’t lie I actually bred this one to get the HA but let’s just go with this for the immersion lol)

  11. Got lucky enough to pull Red twice in Masters …after spending 21000 gems. Unfortunately no luck with Sygna Suit Elesa with the remaining gems 🙁

  12. What Pokémon holds a special place in your heart that mos Toei ole hate? For me it’s Simipour, when I first got Black (my first game) I got Panpour and fell in love, and by the time I evolved it, I was willing to love whatever it became (I do still despise the other two Simis though)

  14. I swear we should just group up and devise a fool proof plant to beat Mewtwo

    Screens, Taunts and Foul Play work really well and we need to plan for what type of moves Mewtwo’s packing to minimize the death output

    Dang it I need a free ability capsule for my Gigantamax Toxtricity

  22. I really wonder who they could give to Leon in Pokemon masters since Charizard is already taken … Same for Riley since Lucario is taken too …

  25. Nothing should ever be 128 FPS
    It’s creepy and unsettling as hell
    (I wonder if this will also happen with higher and higher resolutions)
