7 New Pokemon Revealed, Including Sword and Shield Legendaries - IGN

Zacian or Zamazenta?

By Joe Skrebels

Today's Pokemon Direct saw the introduction of 7 new creatures, including Pokemon Sword and Shield's respective legendaries.

As speculated after the game's reveal, the two legendaries are sword and shield-wielding wolves. Check them all out in the gallery below - and there's a full list with descriptions below:

Zacian - The wolf-like, sword-wielding legendary Pokemon.
Zamazenta - Another legendary wolf, but with a shield-like appendage on its head.
Wooloo - A sheep Pokemon with fur "treasured by weavers in a town in the Galar region."
Gossifleur - The 'flowering Pokemon', able to disperse healing pollen.
Eldegoss - An evolved form of Gossifleur, able to spread reviving seeds. In a Dynamaxed form, it can plant what look like leech seeds that sprout into giant mushrooms.
Drednaw - The 'bite Pokemon' has a vicious nature, and can bite through rock and iron.
Corviknight - A metallic new bird Pokemon that acts as a flying taxi in Galar. It sounds as though it will act as a fast travel system, able to return the player to any town they've previously visited (it's not clear if this is different to the previous games' Fly mechanic).
