Galar is a region in the Pokémon franchise and is the setting for the eighth generation of Pokémon games, including Pokémon Sword and Shield. Galar is a region that is inspired by the United Kingdom, with its diverse geography that includes rolling hills, dense forests, and bustling cities.
In Galar, players take on the role of a young trainer who sets out on a journey to collect Gym Badges, battle the Champion of the Pokémon League, and eventually become the Champion themselves. Along the way, players encounter new species of Pokémon and new trainers to battle, as well as new towns and cities to explore.
Galar is also home to several notable locations, including the city of Postwick, the birthplace of the player character, and the Pokémon League, where players battle the Champion to become the Champion of Galar. The region is also known for its diverse and challenging geography, which includes forests, mountains, and oceans, and the player must traverse these various environments in order to complete their journey.
One of the notable features of Galar is the introduction of new gameplay mechanics, including the concept of “Dynamaxing,” which allows players to temporarily increase the size and power of their Pokémon during battle, and the introduction of “Max Raid Battles,” which allows players to team up with other trainers to battle against a giant, powerful Pokémon.
