A brand new trailer for the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass has arrived, giving us a good look at more of the exciting things in store this summer.
The trailer kicks things off with a look at Gigantamax versions of your Sword and Shield starter Pokémon's final evolutions, Rillaboom, Cinderace and Inteleon. We've grabbed screenshots of all three for you below.
We also get to see new Trainer outfits based on the game's cast of NPCs, new League Card designs, and a closer look at Kubfu, who serves as your partner on the Isle of Armor - the first batch of DLC arriving in June. You can even choose how your Kubfu evolves.
Make sure to give the video a watch above and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

1st time being fist! i cant wait for this DLC.
@cabe1734 Savor the moment.
Looking forward to it!
So hype~! Pre-order after I got the Lucky money from Lunar New Year~
To suddenly get news about this is making me filled with hope and happiness in these gloomy days
Gigantimax Rillaboom looks the best for me. Am hoping the DLC means lots more trainer battles too.
Really liking the suit, tie and waistcoat outfit. Am excited for this.
They didn't show anything new in this trailer
Well maybe there isn't something they could show off (just like the main game)
I’m thinking water. 🤔 You just know whichever one you pick the opposite will turn out to be the best competitively. 😅
Looks great! I don’t know if I’ll be able to bring myself to evolve Kubfu though.
Looks very cool, will be getting this as soon as it comes out.
@mariomaster96 I know right? It's just a recap of the Pokemon direct, the fact that they saved this for last was the biggest disappointment of the direct for me, I wish they would have something else for the "one last thing"
And I have nothing against the game, and the DLC looks great, but something new would have been a better fit at the end
Cant wait for the Legendary bird trio Galar variants.
@MasterJay I concur. I love the series, personally, but it was nothing new, and it would have been more exciting to see something new, like maybe a couple of new Pokémon (we know there is going to be there) or maybe a confirmation of some more returning 'mons.
@cabe1734 Did you use lube?
@MasterJay They've done recaps for games in Directs before, it's nothing new, but a bit disappointing they didn't throw in much different for Pokemon. TBF, I don't think they had anything else they could have capped off the Direct with, there weren't a lot of new things from the bigger titles. Maybe Smash, but that would only have worked for a full announcement.
So all the G-Max Starters' Moves do is ignore Abilities...? Well, sadly looking like more G-Max forms worse than the regular Dynamax ones...
I was already sold on the DLC, you don't even have to ask.
@shoeses Fire moves ignoring flash fire, grass ignoring sap sipper, and most importantly water ignoring water absorb and storm drain? Very competitively relevant.
People still playing this pile of raticate chite?
@Heavyarms55 Expect it's not? Ignoring very specific Abilities on very specific Pokemon is much less useful than setting up Grassy Terrain, Sun, or Rain, especially when in 2 out of the 3 cases you'll be doing poor amounts of Not Never Effective damage.
@shoeses Sitting those aside, Mimikyu alone means they're gonna be useful. And if you don't understand how powerful ignoring storm drain is, you really need to play more VGC.
