As a promotional tie-in with Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, Dada Zarude and Shiny Celebi are being added to Pokémon Sword and Shield. Dada Zarude is a special alternate version of Gen 8’s mythical baboon Pokémon Zarude from the film, while Shiny Celebi is a sparkly version of the Gen 2 legendary Pokémon with an alternate colour palette.
Dada Zarude is basically Zarude with a cape and a special Gigantamax form. If that interests you, then you’re in the right place. We’ll explain how to get both of the rare Pokémon below.
