Pokémon Sword and Shield trainers campaign throughout the region of Galar — and there are notable gameplay variations between the two versions, including a couple of different Gym types and Gym leaders.

This proves to throw a curveball for carrying on with the two versions’ campaigns, including the best strategies in tackling the Gyms head-on. Compared to earlier iterations of the Pokémon series, Sword and Shield give players much more autonomy as far as where and when to go places — This could result in winding up at a Gym that you’re simply not ready for.
