Published by The Pokémon Company themselves, the official Galar region strategy guide is packed full of tips and tricks to help budding trainers.

Pokémon Sword & Shield: Official Galar Region Pokédex
In addition to the official strategy guide, The Pokémon Company will also be offering fans an official Galar Pokédex. Covering everything from starter Pokémon to those that are a little more mysterious, the official Pokédex wraps up everything Gen 8 into one handy guide.
The Galar Pokédex will include detailed descriptions, Pokémon locations, moves, items, and more!

Poké Ball Plus (Limited Functionality)
