US: Nintendo Details Pokemon Sword & Shield Pre-Order Goodies

Nintendo of America has detailed the pre-order bonuses for the upcoming Pokemon Sword & Shield video games. If you decide to go for the double pack, which contains both games, you can get Dynamax Crystals. These items can be used to take on Dynamax Larvitar and Dynamax Jangmo-o in special Max Raid Battles. The company says that these two Pokemon usually won’t be encountered until later in the game.

If you opt for the digital edition of either Pokemon Sword & Shield you are eligible to receive 12 Quick Balls, which I suppose is better than nothing. Pokemon Sword & Shield launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch system on 15th November.
