Pokemon Sword and Shield will be releasing on November 15, and to keep us all hype the Official Pokemon Youtube Channel has just released a new video featuring some of the Pokemon we will be trying to catch, and the rivals we will be taking on. Galarian Form Zigzagoon seems to have caught people’s eye, so in this article, we will run through everything we know about Zigzagoon.

Galarian Zigzagoon

  • Category: Tiny Raccoon Pokémon
  • Type: Dark/Normal
  • Height: 1’4″
  • Weight: 38.6 lbs.
  • Ability: Pickup/Gluttony – The Zigzagoon of Galar never settle down and are known to inhabit all areas of the region, including fields, forests, and towns. There is some speculation that the zigzag movements of the Zigzagoon in other regions stem from the restless nature of Galarian Zigzagoon, considered to be the oldest branch of the species. Galarian Zigzagoon enjoys battles and will charge at people and other Pokémon in an attempt to provoke a fight. This behavior usually succeeds in starting a battle with other Pokémon, but humans tend to think Galarian Zigzagoon is just playing or showing affection.

Zigzagoon is also, quite obviously, cute as a bug with his little floppy tongue. They also seem happy to pick fights with just about anything, which is a personality trait that I can respect. There were lots of other reveals during the video as well, such as the new form changing Morpeko, and the new rivals you will be facing Bede and Marnie.
