Game Freak reveals the greatest challenge in creating Crown Tundra of Pokemon Sword/shield

The Crown Tundra recently arrived in Pokémon Sword and Shield as the second part of the paid expansion pass. Now we bring you some interesting statements from Game Freak, developer of this Nintendo Switch title.

In a recent meeting with Meristation , representatives of the company have offered words about the development process of this DLC. One of the most interesting topics they have discussed has been the biggest challenge they faced when creating The Crown Tundra.

This challenge is none other than the legendary Pokémon, as shared:

Legendary Pokémon often have unique moves and abilities; or some can even change their size, so recreating those moves and abilities for each Legendary in Pokémon Sword and Shield has been a challenge for us.

On the other hand, they mention a second important challenge also related to legendary Pokémon:

In The Island of Armor and The Crown Tundra, players can have any of their Pokémon following them as they walk. Implementing this for the larger Legendary Pokémon was another major difficulty.
