Pokémon: Sword & Shield, Vol. 7

Pokémon: Sword & Shield #7

by Hidenori Kusaka, Satoshi Yamamoto (Illustrations)

Awesome adventures inspired by the best-selling Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield video games set in the wild Galar region!

Casey Shield, a hacker who invented the Dynamax Simulator, and Henry Sword, a boy who repairs gear for Pokémon, both dream of entering the Galar region's Gym battles. For Casey, it's a chance to reunite with her lost Pokémon. For Henry, it's an opportunity to search for the legendary Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield.

Henry adds the Comedian Pokémon Mr. Rime to his team and names it Kayne. After a complicated but ultimately successful Gym battle, Henry and Casey head to Spikemuth, where they are confronted by two Pokémon who are obviously being controlled by someone.

Who are these two new, menacing Pokémon Trainers?!

Reviews

[James Rodrigues · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Pokémon battles are necessary for a story like this, but they do feel like the most perfunctory element of this series, so I'm glad that they feature very little here. The focus is more on story and characterisation, fleshing out elements of the game that needed more time to be given to make these ideas work while also solidifying relationships and bonds.
