A new special distribution event has been announced Pokémon Sword and Shield. The cap Ash wears in Pokémon the Movie: Coco will be given to players in the Isle of Armor if they have the new Mythical Pokémon Zarude in their party. Read on below to learn more about Zarude:
Zarude is a Dark- and Grass-type Pokémon that can grow vines from the back of its neck, its wrists, and the soles of its feet at will.
Name: Zarude
Category: Rogue Monkey Pokémon
Height: 5′11″
Weight: 154.3 lbs.
Type: Dark/Grass
Once Zarude reaches level 90, it can learn Jungle Healing, a unique move only it can learn.[1] In this Grass-type status move, the Pokémon wraps its vines around trees, absorbs their energy, and then releases that energy combined with its own. Healing power radiates around the area and heals both Zarude and its ally Pokémon—restoring their HP and curing them of any status conditions.
Zarude is only available in the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield video games and can’t be encountered in regular gameplay.
[1] Within Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, only Zarude can learn Jungle Healing. However, it is possible other Pokémon may be able to learn this move in future games.
