Even though the Shiny Pokémon’s colours are different in Pokémon Sword and Shield, their statistics are the same as normal Pokémon.
Overview
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are popular role-playing video games with adventure elements. They invite you to control a young trainer who goes on a quest to catch and train creatures. These creatures are known as Pokémon, which you use to battle other trainers.
It is important to note that you will find various different types of Pokémon while exploring. You can capture wild Pokémon by weakening them in battle before catching them with Poke Balls. Once they have been caught, you will be able to use them in your party and in battles.
Why should players battle other trainers?
