Pokemon Sword and Shield brings in a whole new generation of impressively designed and skilled Pokemon to the Galar region.

Bringing the current total of Pokemon to a whopping 932 makes building the best team more tedious but also more rewarding when done to perfection. Trainers get three amazing starters to begin their journey.

The water starter is Sobble, whose final evolution is Inteleon. Sobble is the most overlooked when it comes to power, but his final evolution is a real showstopper. Inteleon, when paired with the right team, is a force to be reckoned with.
