The very first DLC pack in Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield's Expansion Pass - The Isle Of Armor - has launched, and overall I've really, really enjoyed it! This video is going to showcase 25 things you can do after completing the main story of The Isle Of Armor - after obtaining and evolving Kubfu and receiving a gigantamax Kanto starter of your choice - that will hopefully keep you playing the game for many more hours to come!

I love the sharpedo inclusion You can’t outrun them but you can get away. When a sharpedo appears head straight for it but don’t boost yet. Get close & boost while making a sharp turn. Sharpedos can only do speed going in a straight direction, if they make sharp turns they skid and crash

[@oshikuru09]

I've also found if it's coming towards you and you can get it directly behind you off screen it doesnt get you.

[@acertainghost286]

Or you can run straight forward and have Sharpedo located two or ten o'clock, when he get's close; simply speed up.

[@evilthwomp2836]

I just make them ram in the max raid dens

you can also get a slowpoke sweater by talking to the NPC that weaves you the slowbro cuff while having a slowpoke in your party.

This really confused me at first because I'd been surfing around the Workout sea for what felt like hours trying to find this girl again now that I had enough Galarian Twigs (I was also diglett hunting tbf) and when I finally thought I'd found her, she gave me a jumper, I'm like... but what about my cuff? And then I spoke to her again and all was OK with the world.

I really think it is cool how, when you beat the tower of two fists, mustard says "maybe the time has come" and when you beat him the last time he says it again (or something to that affect) and says we will find out what it is "eventually". And hop says sonia went to research in the "snow and ice" so we'll likely see her in the crown tundra

Wow glad i didnt hit purchase before seeing this comment. Thats a let down

The Crown Tundra should have partner Pokémon confirmed too

[@rockinrootbeer1795]

It's also disappointing how slow all of the Pokemon followers are. I wish it was based on their speed stat, so fast ones like Cinderace would run right next to you all the time and slow ones like Tyranitar would lag behind :/

Theres a way to dodge the sharpedo and you go towards it until it's at a certain distance then go around to the side of it to juke it, then it despawns and then respawns farther away

1 way to dodge Sharpedo other than getting on an island or using a raid den as a shield is getting out of it's line of sight. Boost around Sharpedo enough to eventually have it zoom away in one direction.

I just want t mention that I got the DLC before beating Sword and Shield and when I got to the isle, thinking it would be a good place to train before making my way to the town where the championship stuff is, most pokemon were teens and twenties so I think that the higher levels are if you are champion already. Also, I don’t really know how to mention that to Serebii so if you could pass the message along after checking to confirm what I said is true, I would appreciate it.

[@ninetailedfox579121]

The Pokemon in the wild area scale based on your progression through the main story. I believe you can access the dlc as soon as you gain access to the wild area so naturally it would follow the same level scaling.

I feel like the Isle of Armor was more for competitive players. Sure there’s a whole new wild area to explore, but if you were hoping for a meaty story, you’d likely be disappointed. However there are a ton of changes in the IoA that will really benefit VGC. Crown Tundra will likely be better for non-competitive players, as the theme of it is “Exploration”
