Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/a> players in Japan will soon be able to get their hands on a new form of Zarude, a Mythical Pok\u00e9mon that appears in this year’s animated movie.<\/p>\n

The new form, called ‘Dada Zarude’, will reportedly be distributed to fans who attend viewings of Pok\u00e9mon the Movie Coco<\/a> at Japanese cinemas starting next month. The film was delayed due to the coronavirus<\/a>, and will now open in theatres on 25th December.<\/p>\n

Dada Zarude is a special form of the Rogue Monkey Pok\u00e9mon which wears a Celebi cape, as it appears in the new movie (thanks, Serebii<\/a>). The original form of Zarude was also made available to Japanese players earlier this year, although neither has yet been distributed to players in other areas of the world.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon distributed in this manner are usually given away to fans around the world at a later date, so we’ll make sure to keep an eye out for any info on official worldwide distributions in the future.<\/p>\n
