You can learn this new technique by using "Yoroi Koseki", which can be obtained in Max Raid battles in Isle of Armor!

"Dice soup" is a special dish that can be made by collecting rare ingredients found in Isle of Armor.
Pokémon with the potential for Kyodimax can become special Pokémon that can Kyodimax by drinking "Dice soup"!

We've also revealed a move that only the legendary Pokémon "Urshifu" in "Isle of Armor" can learn!
Both of these moves can only be learned by Urshifu in the "Expansion Pass".

The "Strike Type" Urshifu learns "Ankoku Kyouda".
It is a powerful blow that will always hit the opponent's base, and can inflict heavy damage without being affected by changes in ability.

Urshifu, who has mastered the art of brick breaking, learns "Suiryu Renda" (Water Hitting).
This is a three-strike attack that always hits the opponent's cessation point, and is unaffected by ability changes.

In addition to the "Isle of Armor", new information and additional elements for the second installment, "Snow-Capped Fields", which will be released in the fall, have also been revealed!
ポケットモンスター ソード・シールド エキスパンションパス公式サイトIn "Snow-Capped Fields" where the snow is falling and the landscape is silvery white, people live together in small villages in an extremely cold region where steep snow-capped mountains rise up.
The protagonist is appointed by "Peony" as the leader of an expedition team in "Snow-Capped Fields". He goes to investigate various places, such as snow fields with blizzards and the inside of a "Pokémon nest," which until now could only be accessed through Max Raid battles.
It also seems that many legendary Pokémon that have yet to be seen can be found in these areas.
We can't wait to see what adventures await us!
Dymax Adventure
In the "Dymax Adventure", four trainers investigate a den said to be inhabited by Dymax Pokémon.
When you encounter a wild Dymax Pokémon along the way, the four of you will work together to challenge it to a Max Raid battle.
If you win, you will have a chance to catch the Pokémon, but if you lose, you will be thrown out of the den!
It would be a good idea to prepare carefully before taking on the challenge.
Galalstar Tournament
As you progress in your adventure in the "Snow-Capped Fields" you will be able to challenge the "Galal Star Tournament" in Shoot City in the Galal region.
In the "Garal Star Tournament", you will be able to compete against characters from the Pokémon Sword Shield, and even fight alongside them!
