So, someone has a copy of Sword and Shield and has been leaking Pokemon. I’ll update this thread throughout the day as fast as I can.

[VanHooIII]

Hard to see so far, but there is a small elephant Pokemom with what appears to be a teapot lid on it’s head:

Galarian Meowth:

Unknown purple dino:

New fox Pokemon w/evolution:

[VanHooIII]

Grookey’s evolutions (final form is called Rillaboom):

Sobble’s evolutions (Sizzile and Intelleon):

Sobble’s evolutions are a spy theme.

[Ryan21]

How’d they get a copy two weeks before release?

[VanHooIII]

I’m not sure and I was wondering that myself. Definitely legit though.

Also: Can someone put SPOILERS in the title? I know that the title is pretty descriptive, but I’d hate to spoil it for someone by mistake. Thanks!

[VanHooIII]

A few more:

Galarian Farfetch’d, which has a darker color and appears to have a much larger leek. No great pic of it yet, but I assume it’s a Sword exclusive since Sirfetch’d is.

Galarain Meowth does not evolve into Persian, and instead evolves into a new Pokemon named Purrserker, which … is a viking themed Pokemon. Probably steel type.

Lastly, the middle evolutions of Sobble and Grookey that I posted earlier were the shiny versions. Here are the normal versions, alongside their shinies:

[Ryan21]

@moderators can someone put spoilers in the title, please and thank you!

[VanHooIII]

Thanks, @Ryan21 !

If I were wanting to avoid seeing anything I’d certainly steer clear of a thread like this, but … I definitely DEFINITELY want to make sure anyone who stumbles in knows exactly what is going on here. lol

More has dropped … pics coming up …

Gigantamax forms:

Machamp:

Garbodor:

Kingler:

Lapras:

[VanHooIII]

New Pokemon:

Hatterene, which looks like a ghost type. Gigantamax also included:

Cinderace, which is Scorbunny’s final evolution. It’s … disappointing.

Centiskorch, which looks like a final bug evo:

Lastly, Silicobra and it’s evolved form, Sandaconda:

[Brobraam]

Done it! But if I remember correctly everyone with trust level 3 (regular) or higher can do this as well

[Ryan21]

Oh that’s cool definitely didn’t know that, I’ll try it out next time

[VanHooIII]

I tried that, but it wouldn’t let me edit the OP.

[VanHooIII]

Gotta admit. I really dig Sobble’s final evolution (Intelleon):

[Branebs]

“My name is Leon. Intel Leon.”

[VanHooIII]

Wooloo’s evolution has now leaked. Allegedly named “Dubwool”.

[VanHooIII]

Just realized that “Dubwool” is a soccer ball. lol

[VanHooIII]

The new bug Pokemon, Centiskorch, has a gigantamax form:

… looks like a giant tapeworm. lol

Also: The purple dino-thing I posted earlier is an electric/poison type.

[VanHooIII]

New leaks, but these might not be 100% legit now. 70% sure they are though.

Impidimp’s evolutions:

Moregrem:

Grimmsnarl:
