Pokemon Generation 8 — Galar

Generation 8 brought main-series Pokemon to a home console (the Nintendo Switch) for the first time. It leaned heavily into European mythology, sports-stadium culture, and introduced massive "Kaiju-style" stadium battles.

When you filter for Gen 8, you are pulling from a roster of highly competitive, uniquely British-inspired designs, as well as the ancient variants from the Hisui region.

Region Name: Galar (Inspired by the United Kingdom) and Hisui (Ancient Sinnoh)

Debut Games: Pokemon Sword, Shield (2019), and Pokemon Legends: Arceus (2022)

Total New Pokemon: 96 (Bringing the National Pokedex to 905)

The Iconic Starters: Grookey (Grass), Scorbunny (Fire), and Sobble (Water).

Legendary & Mythical Pokemon: The Hero Duo (Zacian, Zamazenta), Eternatus, Kubfu/Urshifu, Calyrex, Enamorus, and the mythical Zarude.

Key Highlights & Special Features:

• Dynamax & Gigantamax: Pokemon could grow to massive, stadium-sized proportions for three turns. Certain Pokemon gained "Gigantamax" forms, completely changing their appearance and granting them exclusive "G-Max" moves.
• The Wild Area: A precursor to true open-world gameplay, this massive zone allowed players to freely control the camera and encounter overworld Pokemon in changing weather conditions.
• Regional Evolutions & Hisuian Forms: Galar introduced regional variants that evolved into brand-new Pokemon (like Galarian Linoone evolving into Obstagoon). Furthermore, Legends: Arceus introduced "Hisuian" forms from the distant past, which are officially categorized under Gen 8.
