Ultra Unlock Part Three: Sword and Shield will feature a handful of new Pokémon native to Galar appearing from Aug. 20 to 31, including Falinks, Wooloo, Zacian, and Zamazenta. 

Every Pokémon featured in the event, outside of the odd Unown, appears in the generation eight games on Nintendo Switch. Several were already available in the game, but some like Galarian Meowth, Galarian Farfetch’d, and Galarian Weezing will now be available as shinies too.
