New story details about Leon, the Champion in Pokemon Sword and Shield, have leaked today.

WARNING: SPOILERS AFTER THE PIKACHU BELOW

According to the leaks, a special Charmander is given to the player after they defeat Leon in the game. We presume this special Charmander comes from Leon. This Charmander is special because it has the ability to Gigantamax into Gigantamax Charizard.

Besides this new information, we also had another look at the guidebook, which shows Gigantamax Pikachu, Gigantamax Charizard, and Gigantamax Eevee. This could suggest only Charizard is getting a Gigantamax form, whereas Venusaur and Blastoise aren’t.
