Pokémon Sword and Shield’s next reveal is coming in a 24 hour livestream
It’s a release year for new Pokémon games, and that means that, throughout the year, we’ll get little sprinklings of new information here and there in the leadup to release. The last bit of info we got was the reveal of Sirfetch’d, a straightforward trailer reveal after a little bit of teasing — but this next reveal is perhaps the weirdest yet.
Sonia needs your help, Trainers!
Next week, she’ll be setting up a live camera and conducting some Pokémon observation research in Glimwood Tangle, a strange forest area in the Galar region.

The Pokémon Company has announced that a 24 hour livestream will take place next week, showcasing a new forest area called Glimwood Tangle and showing off a few of the Pokémon that live in the wooded maze. The stream apparently comes courtesy of Sonia, a researcher in Galar and granddaughter of the region’s Pokémon professor.
My name’s Sonia, and I’m a Pokémon researcher. Here in Galar, I’m always helping out with research for my gran—Professor Magnolia, that is!
AdvertisementI’m sending this message because I could really use your help with some research I’m doing.
Next week, a camera will be set up in a strange forest here in Galar known as Glimwood Tangle, and the camera will begin broadcasting live footage.
The broadcast will last for 24 hours! If you could take a gander when you have time, that’d be just great. Thanks in advance!
