By Tiziano Lento, Janet Garcia, Michael Koczwara, +148 more
This page includes the 3 Gen 8 starters in Pokemon Sword and Shield: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble plus the official, confirmed starter evolutions.
Similar to its predecessors, players are presented with three different Pokemon Sword and Shield starters. The player has the option to choose between the following three Starter Pokemon: Starter Pokemon are always either Grass, Fire, or Water-types. This way, regardless of which starter you choose, it will be strong against one, but weak to the other.
Continue below for additional info on each of the Sword and Shield Starter Pokemon. If you'd like more detailed information, you can click on the Pokemon's name to be taken to their individual wiki page or take a look at the Pokemon Sword and Shield Pokedex for a larger list.
From the official Pokemon website: A mischievous Chimp Pokémon that is full of boundless curiosity.
A stick that has special effects
•The stick held by Grookey was originally a branch from the forest where troops of Grookey live, but it’s no longer a simple branch.
•The stick has gained special powers after being exposed to the energy within Grookey’s body.
It can give energy to plants
•Its green fur creates energy from sunlight.
•Wilted flowers and leaves have been seen to regain their color when Grookey drums with its stick near them.
From the official Pokemon website: A Rabbit Pokémon that is always running about, bursting with energy.
Its powerful legs are its pride
•Scorbunny uses its powerful legs to run and jump around its opponents, confusing and disorienting them. *The soles of its feet can become very hot, and Scorbunny can kick opponents to damage and burn them, too!
Scorbunny's second heart—its “fire sac”
•Scorbunny has a fire sac in its chest, which contains viscous fire energy.
From the official Pokemon website: A somewhat timid Water Lizard Pokémon that shoots out attacks as it hides itself in the water.
It disappears when it touches water
•When Sobble touches water, its body changes its pattern and color, allowing it to blend into its surroundings.
•Sobble is a bit timid, and so if it gets nervous or embarrassed, it will secrete the water within its body like sweat and disappear into the surroundings.
Tears as potent as 100 onions
•Sobble’s tears are capable of making others cry. This effect is so strong, it is said that its tears are as potent as 100 onions.
•If Sobble feels threatened, it will start to bawl and spread its tears around the area, causing everyone around it to start crying uncontrollably. Sobble will then use this distraction as a chance to escape.
