Pokemon Sword and Shield Zarude details
Zarude’s reveal is hot off the press, so, naturally, Nintendo is still keeping some details close to its chest. We do know, however, that the Legendary Pokemon is a Dark/Grass-type creature in the style of a monkey that knows the Leaf Guard ability.

Whether you own and play Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield on Nintendo Switch, Zarude will be added to both versions of the game at a currently unspecified time later in 2020. We’ll keep you posted as and when an official Pokemon Sword and Shield Zarude release date is announced.
Not only is the slashy simian set to appear in both Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, but also the upcoming movie Pokemon the Movie: Coco. What role Mythical Pokemon Zarude might play in its big-screen debut is currently unknown.
Zarude was unveiled via the Pokemon YouTube channel, with a teaser trailer (below) offering players their first look at a fanged Pokemon that you definitely wouldn’t want to be stuck in a confined space with. The trailer concludes with a promise that there’s “more information coming soon,” so be sure to stick with GameRevolution in order to be kept in the loop when new info drops.
