Begin your adventure in the Galar region, a land of rolling hills, industrial cities, and vast wilderness. Alongside your rival Hop, you'll pursue the Gym Challenge to become Champion under the watchful eye of the undefeated Champion Leon. As you collect Gym Badges, you'll uncover the mystery of the Darkest Day, an ancient catastrophe involving the legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta. Face Chairman Rose and his misguided plans to solve Galar's energy crisis, and ultimately determine the region's future.
