The Pokemon Company has released a new Pokemon Sword and Shield trailer showing off three, new Galarian forms.

Three Galarian forms were revealed in the latest Pokemon Sword and Shield video.

These Pokemon are Galarian Linoone (Dark/ Normal-type), Galarian Zigzagoon (Dark/ Normal-type), and Galarian Weezing (Poison/Fairy-type). Some Pokemon can only evolve from Galarian forms.

You also get a look at Obstagoon (Dark/Normal-type), a unique evolution of the badger discovered in the Galar region. It is a form of Zigzagoon.

The trailer also takes a look at Morpeko (Electric/Dark-type), who can switch its hunger ability from Full Belly to Hangry. Rather relatable, considering we all get a little hangry sometimes. Here's more information on this Pokemon's abilities.

In the trailer, you also get a look at two new rivals: Bede and Marine. Team yell was also revealed. They are apparently super fans of Marine.

Pokemon Sword and Shield releases worldwide on November 15.
