　　No further information about the new Pokemon has been revealed so far, but Serebii notes that the monster is separate from Urshifu and Calyrex, the two new Legendaries being introduced in Sword and Shield's Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra expansions. Those are slated to launch this June and fall, respectively.

　　In the meantime, a new Max Raid event is now underway in Sword and Shield. While Gigantamax Alcremie spawn rates have returned to normal, you are now more likely to encounter its pre-evolved form, Milcery, in Max Raids until February 16. Many of these Milcery will be able to Gigantamax when they evolve. Additionally, you can receive Ribbon and Star Sweets as rewards for completing Milcery Raids, allowing you to evolve the Pokemon into new variants.

　　A new freebie for the games is also available now. You can claim 10 free Heal Balls via Mystery Gift until March 31. To receive the balls, select Mystery Gift from your game's menu and enter the code G1GAGRANF1NALE. You can see all the other Pokemon Sword and Shield freebies up for grabs right now in our roundup.
