New information about "Pokémon Sword" and "Pokémon Shield," the latest in the "Pokémon" series for Nintendo Switch, scheduled for release on November 15, 2019 (Friday). Details of Negiganite, a new Pokémon from the Galar region that will appear in "Pokémon Sword," have been revealed.

■An honorable Knight that fights fair and square

It is a Pokémon evolved from Kamonegi, which lives in the Garal region, as a result of a battle. It has a calm and collected nature, and its motto is to fight fair and square. Its fighting spirit is so noble that it has been chosen as a motif for paintings, and a painting depicting its duel with Shubargo is widely known in the Garal region.

The irreplaceable leek of the past

The leek knight wields its sharp stalks like spears and its thick leaves like shields in battle. They cherish these leeks more than anything else they have used over the years. When the leeks wither, the Negiganite leaves the battlefield and retires from battle.

Negiga Knight's signature technique, "Star Assault

The "Star Assault," a technique new to this title, is a special technique that only Negiga Knight can learn. This technique, in which the knight points the tip of a green onion at the opponent and charges at high speed, is immensely powerful. However, it is also very hard on the user, so the user may not be able to move for a while after using it.
