Pokemon Sword and Shield get a new mythical Pokemon called Zarude


​

A brand new Pokemon has been discovered! To celebrate Pokemon Day 2020, which is the 24th anniversary of Pokemon Red and Green's original release, the veil has been lifted on a new creature. This one is a "Mythical" Pokemon, and will be coming to Sword and Shield later this year. It's named Zarude, and is a Dark/Grass type, with the ability of Leaf Guard.

The Mythical Pokémon Zarude, the Rogue Monkey Pokémon, Has Been Discovered
We’ve confirmed the existence of a new Mythical Pokémon, a Dark- and Grass-type Pokémon with a clever mastery of vines.
Incredible news, Trainers! We can now confirm that a new Mythical Pokémon has been discovered. Zarude, the Rogue Monkey Pokémon, is a Dark- and Grass-type Pokémon that cannot be found through normal gameplay in the world of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. This Mythical Pokémon stands an average of 5′11″ tall, weighs about 154.3 lbs., and is known to have the Leaf Guard Ability.

Zarude can grow vines from the back of its neck, its wrists, and the soles of its feet at will. These vines are strong and flexible, and they can be used for a variety of purposes. Zarude uses the vines to wrap around tree branches to move around or to grab Berries from distant branches. The vines also have a healing property. If Zarude wraps its vines around a wound, the wound will heal.

It has been reported that Zarude lives in a pack deep in the heart of dense forests. It treats anyone that isn't part of its pack with immediate hostility, attacking right away. Because of this, other Pokémon that live in the same forest are afraid of Zarude.

When fighting, Zarude swings around using trees and branches, attacking relentlessly with its sharp claws or any other means it has. Its quick wit helps it excel in battles.

That wasn't the only Pokemon-related bit of news to be announced, either, as Mewtwo will be available to catch in Sword and Shield for a limited time until March 1st, in a new Max Raid event. Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle will also be around to catch in these raids, and come with bonus items for defeating or capturing them.

omfg this shit again
can people just accept that sometimes you end up losing things in the transition between games? gen 3 had this problem too, and fire red and leaf green fixed it.
so just. freaking. WAIT.

Oh, and Ruby/Sapphire didn't drop moves either, for that matter, nor did it have significantly less exploration than the GB/GBC games.
While the data structure was completely revamped (unlike Sword/Shield, which still uses essentially the same data structure as R/S), there weren't any casualties as a result, except for compatibility with older games.

Ruby/Sapphire and Sword/Shield are two completely different events, when it comes to unobtainable Pokemon and moves. The first was incompatible with older games, so one couldn't bring old pals forwards but had all 386 (at the time) in their code; the second is compatible with older games, so if one has the Home and Bank apps they can bring pals forward, but don't have all 809 older Pokemon and all moves in their code, placing an artificial barrier on that transferal of pals.

Same as what I thought on this Shifu or whatever it was called legendary, it doesn't look mythical / legendary, all the legendaries up till now could be distinguished from normal ones since they had that look of a mighty Pokemon. This one here looks like a Fan made one of the final grookey evolution after the first presentation of the starters last year.
