Months have passed since Sword and Shield<\/em> was released worldwide on the Nintendo Switch, but there are still a lot of little Easter eggs and discoveries that players have not found out yet. Until the expansion comes out this summer, fans have a lot of time on their hands to find all the little details.<\/p>\n

So what have players discovered? From different forms of Pok\u00e9mon to Birthday celebrations, here are ten hidden secrets in Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Updated February 19, 2021, by Allison Stalberg: <\/em><\/strong>There is still much to discover in the Galar region. Part of what made Sword and Shield<\/em> such a success was its love of detail. There is plenty that is not outright told to the player (though some NPCs have good suggestions). Even with the game having been out a little more than a year now, new players are always picking up the most recent Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>game until a new core set of games come out. With that in mind, there are still plenty of secrets a new player wouldn’t know that they should take advantage of.<\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Items Respawn In Wild Areas<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The vast land of the Wild Areas can be overwhelming at first. Once you get used to it though, it can be exciting to find and pick up the various items hidden around. A secret that is not told to the player is that items in the Wild Area actually will respawn after about a day.<\/p>\n

In terms of what the respawn affects, it does so for berries in trees as well as shiny items. Items that can respawn include Fancy Apples, Rare Candies, various pearls, Revives,\u00a0Pok\u00e9balls, mushrooms, herbs, feathers, bones, Star Pieces, Honey, and Energy Root. So don’t expect respawning TMs, but still collect what you can. Whatever you don’t use, you can sell.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>The Switch Console In The Game Should Match Yours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Previous generations of Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> games always had Nintendo consoles in the characters’ room. It was always so, and it was a little clever way for Nintendo to promote their stuff.<\/p>\n

In Sword and Shield<\/em>, this fact is no different. Instead of a Wii or Gamecube though, your character has a Switch in their room. The hidden secret, though, lies in the color. Switch consoles come in different colors. If you look at your Switch and your characters’ Switch, they should be the same color! If you are playing with a different Switch, the colors would be different.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Glowing Pokemon Have Better Stats<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The glowing Pok\u00e9mon layers may meet on the road are worth a second glance. They actually have a lot to offer. While their level is typically higher than others in their area and they give out Watts upon defeat, they also will have better stats. In fact, they tend to have at least two of their stats at perfect.<\/p>\n

Players that care about IVs may want to catch a couple of these for breeding. Even for those who don’t care about stats, it is just nice to know that these particular Pok\u00e9mon would be a a better asset to your team.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Gym Leaders Have Meaningful Jersey Numbers<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Nintendo was pretty clever in how they turned Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> into more of a spectator sport in Sword and Shield<\/em>. One major way they did this is by giving every\u00a0Gym Leader<\/a>\u00a0and challenger their own sports’ jersey, complete with numbers on the back.<\/p>\n

While players could choose their own numbers, some began to wonder if the Gym Leaders’ numbers had any special meanings. The truth is, they do! In Japanese, all the numbers create little puns that suit the traits of the different characters. For example, Milo is a Grass-Type leader and his numbers translate to “veggie.”<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Polteageist’s Different Forms<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This is an easy detail to miss! The new Ghost-Type Pok\u00e9mon, Polteageist, actually has two forms. The difference is minuscule, but its a pretty interesting addition to the way Pok\u00e9mon can be unique from each other.<\/p>\n

RELATED: Persona 5: 5 Video Game Heroes Joker Can Beat (& 5 He Can’t)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The two forms are dependent on what kind of teapot the player uses on Sinistea to get it to evolve. There are two kinds of teapots, cracked and chipped. You can only see the difference if you look at its underside while it is Dynamaxed. If you can see an authenticity stamp, that means you got an antique! If not, then the teapot is counterfeit! Don’t worry though, as there is no other discernible difference between the two forms.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>There Is A Method To Berry Picking<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Throughout Galar are berry trees, and they are imperative for curry ingredients as well as curing certain status afflictions. It is best to collect as many berries as you can. That means shaking trees a lot. However, you don’t want to shake the trees too much either because a Pok\u00e9mon may fall out of it and battle you. This will make you lose many of the berries that fell.<\/p>\n

There is a technique to this that the game does not share. When shaking trees, pause in-between shakes to see how much the branches are wiggling. The faster the wiggles, the more likely a Pokemon is going to drop down on the next shake.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>You Get Birthday Surprises<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It is not new for Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> to have some sort of feature on your birthday. Typically, you are congratulated at the Pok\u00e9mon Center by the nurse. In Sword and Shield<\/em> though, they got a little more festive. How does the game know your birthday? If you go to the Pok\u00e9mon Center in Wedgehurst, a person will talk about horoscopes and ask for your birthday.<\/p>\n

So on your birthday, two things will happen. First, the Pok\u00e9mon Center will throw you a little party with a Pok\u00e9ball cake and confetti. Second, if you decide to make curry, then a candle will appear on one of them!<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Square Shinys<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Shiny<\/a>\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon have been the source of player obsession for a long time. They are no different in any way, except they are a different color. They are super rare and veteran players can easily go through all the games without seeing one.<\/p>\n

RELATED: 5 Games You Forgot Had Amiibo Support (& 5 That Should)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In Sword and Shield,<\/em> there is a new kind of shiny and its even more rare than the original. The color is still different in the same manner, but this time they sparkle with square symbols when they first appear. This has made the community call them “square shinies.”<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>You Can Make Battles More Difficult<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Since Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> is more than 20 years old, a lot of players have grown up but are still loyal fans. Due to being adults though, the games have proven less of a challenge<\/a>. In order to not take away from their younger fans but give older fans an option for a higher difficulty, Nintendo made a change.<\/p>\n

If you go into settings, you can change whether you have the option to switch out your Pok\u00e9mon or not in the middle of a battle. By turning that option off, you will find battles much more challenging.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>You Can Use Fainted Pok\u00e9mon In Max Raid Battles<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

We have a feeling this was not supposed to be a secret, but the game never outright tells you that you can do this!<\/p>\n

Max Raids do not care if your Pok\u00e9mon have fainted. You can use them and they will appear in the battles with all of their health. That’s it! No need to constantly visit the Pok\u00e9mon Center. Hopefully, you already figured this out, because it is quite the time and potion-saver to know this.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>*You Can Spin And Strike A Pose<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

If you spin around as fast as you can in one place, your trainer will start spinning a bit like a ballerina. Once you let go, she or he will strike the same pose at Champion Leon.<\/p>\n

While it may just seem like a cute little trick, this is actually an important thing to know for evolving certain Pok\u00e9mon. This mechanic is actually used to evolve a Milcery into an Alchremie and how you do the spin dictates what design the Alchremie will have (however, you have have Milcery also hold a type of Sweet to make the evolution work).<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>There Are More Customization Options Than You May Think<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Players love customization, and Nintendo knows this. They slowly have introduced more and more ways to customize your character in Pok\u00e9mon games. In Sword and Shield<\/em>, there are a lot more options.<\/p>\n

All players know you can customize your character, but did you know that you can also customize your tent and bike gear? Well, just the colors. The way to do it is a little odd, as it changes based on what Pok\u00e9mon you have at the front of your party while talking to certain NPCs in the Wild Area.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>You Can Unlock More Camp Toys By Completing The Curry Dex<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Who could have predicted that we would have another Pok\u00e9dex, but it filled with curry instead of Pok\u00e9mon in a base game?<\/p>\n

If you already filled your Pok\u00e9dex, the curry dex is next! By filling it, you actually get to unlock more toys for your Pok\u00e9mon to play with while camping. As you fill the curry dex, talk to the camp master in the wild area and he typically gives you a new toy for every five new curries you have made.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>You Can Flip League Cards For Extra Information<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

League Cards are a sweet detail to Galar’s culture, as they are much like baseball cards but with Pok\u00e9mon trainers and Gym Leaders. As go players go through the story, they collect more and more of these and even get to make their own.<\/p>\n

Some players did not release until way later that a lot of cool information about the trainer is on the back of their trainer card if they flip it over. There are more to the cards than just a picture and signature.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>There Is A Ghost Girl In Hammerlocke<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ghosts are not new to the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> universe. We don’t just mean Ghost-Types but actual ghost people. They have appeared in previous games, and Sword and Shield<\/em> has them as well. There is a ghost of a little girl in Hammerlocke who will give you an old letter to give to a boy he likes. Once you find the boy though, you’ll see that he is an old man and the girl died many years ago. If you return to where she was, she is gone.<\/p>\n
