Rumor: Dataminers Discover 21 New Moves Coming To Pokemon Sword/Shield

As you know, the Isle Of Armor DLC for Pokemon Sword And Shield is scheduled to release next month, although details about its contents have still been relatively scarce.

Recently, some dataminers are claiming that they have discovered a set of brand new moves that are heading to the game together with the DLC. This information was apparently pulled from the recent Pokemon HOME update on mobile, which supposedly added data on 21 Pokemon moves that have never been in previous installments of the series.

You can check out what these moves are below:

  • Expanding Force
  • Steel Roller
  • Scale Shot
  • Meteor Beam
  • Shell Side Arm
  • Misty Explosion
  • Grassy Glide
  • Rising Voltage
  • Terrain Pulse
  • Skitter Smack
  • Burning Jealousy
  • Lash Out
  • Poltergeist
  • Corrosive Gas
  • Coaching
  • Flip Turn
  • Triple Axel
  • Dual Wingbeat
  • Scorching Sands
  • Jungle Healing
  • Wicked Blow
  • Surging Strikes

As you can see, Zarude’s signature move Jungle Healing is included on this list, possibly adding to its legitimacy. Furthermore, some fans have theorized that “Wicked Blow” and “Surging Strikes” are the signature moves of Urshifu, with the rest of the moves being the Move Tutor moves advertised to be coming with the Isle Of Armor expansion.

That said, as with all datamines of this nature, we caution readers to take this information with a grain of salt. Even if these moves do indeed exist in Pokemon HOME‘s data, this does not necessarily mean they will make the final cut into the games. We will be sure to bring more details from official sources should they become available.
