by Hidenori Kusaka, Satoshi Yamamoto (Illustrator)

Awesome adventures inspired by the best-selling Pokémon Sword & 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.

Eternatus, the Gigantic Pokémon, has appeared! And with Galar in chaos due to the Gigantamax phenomenon occurring all over the region, Henry and Casey’s only hope to defeat Eternatus—and stopping the Gigantamax evolutions—is with the help of two powerful Pokémon—Zacian and Zamazenta!

Can two Pokémon find the legendary gears in time to stop Eternatus?!

Reviews

[James Rodrigues · Rating 3 out of 5]

A transitionary volume which gets our heroes into the necessary positions for what is to come next, and whizzes through important elements which outlive their usefulness. A lesser volume of this arc is still a solid one, but it does feel like a less vital one.

Pokémon: Sword & Shield, Vol. 9 is about trainers and Pokémon working together to stop a big problem. The story is fast and has both funny and tense moments. I liked how the trainers got stronger while facing dark challenges, which felt inspiring. The Pokémon were fun and brave, which made them easy to love.
