Pokemon Sword and Shield BP update following new Pokedex warning

Pokemon Trainers have a new surprise update to enjoy this week on Nintendo Switch. As many gamers will already know, developers Game Freek have been adding new bonuses and rewards to Pokemon Sword and Shield since it released back in 2019. This has included a number of different items, as well as new ways to upgrade your Sword and Shield Pokedex. The latest offer allows gamers who have not yet reached the end-game Battle Towers to score some Battle Points.

These are used to claim special items like Held Battle Items, EV Training items and Breeding items.

There’s plenty you can do with BP but the problem for most early gamers is that they can’t claim any until they complete the main storyline.

Game Freak is making it easier this week for Pokemon Sword and Shield gamers by offering up some free Battle Points.

Anyone who wants to grab 20 Battle Points can do this by choosing the Mystery Gift option from the menu screen, and collecting the Mystery Gift Codes on offer.

These will be available throughout the month and will allow Trainers to earn some top prizes, including Battle Points.

“In the second season, a handful of Gigantamax Pokémon will be allowed in head-to-head battle for the very first time,” a message from the Pokemon Company reads.

“Charizard, Butterfree, Pikachu, Meowth, Eevee, Snorlax, Corviknight, Drednaw, Sandaconda, and Centiskorch will be allowed to Gigantamax in battle.

“You’ll be matched up with other players of similar rank to ensure even competition. And the higher you finish when the season concludes, the greater in-game rewards you’ll earn.

“Prizes include Battle Points, Ability Capsules, mints, and even valuable Bottle Caps (including Gold Bottle Caps!) for top performers. Try to reach the Master Ball Tier by the end of the month to earn the best rewards.

“To start a Ranked Battle, select VS in the X menu, then choose Battle Stadium, then choose Ranked Battles.

“You can press the Y Button to see what the current rules and regulations are before you begin your match. There are both Single Battles and Double Battles for you to participate in.”
