Zarude is finally making its way to Pokemon Sword & Shield. This Mythical Pokémon is one of the rarest in the entire series. Players have been unable to capture it in the base game. Instead, they had to wait for an event like Jungle Zarude, Worldwide Jungle Zarude, and Forest of Okoya Dada Zarude and claim one through the game's Mystery Gift mechanic. Now, to celebrate the release of the English dub of Pokémon The Movie: Secrets of the Jungle,  players will be able to get their hands on this Mythical Pokémon.

Pokémon The Movie: Secrets of the Jungle was originally released in Japan back in 2020. Players were able to claim Zarude if they preordered tickets to see the film. Due to an ongoing deal with Netflix, the film will be making its English debut on October 8. Zarude is the main legendary Pokemon in this film and acts as the guardian of a small child named Koko. They both live peacefully in a forest that outsiders are forbidden to visit. When Koko meets series veteran, Ash Ketchum, shenanigans ensue, and it is up to Koko, Ash, and Zarude to protect the forest.

Players will be able to claim Dada Zarude in Pokémon Sword & Shield with its pink cape from the film. Zarude will be level 70 with the ability Leaf Guard and the Held Item Choice Scarf. Its moves are Jungle Healing, Hammer Arm, Power Whip, and Energy Ball. Jungle Healing in particular is a move that is exclusive to Zarude.

How To Get Zarude in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Players will need to sign up for the Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter and opt in to email marketing by September 25. After this deadline, players will receive a special email with a passcode to claim Zarude in their game.

After receiving the code, players can boot up Pokémon Sword & Shield and head over to the pause menu. Players can select the Mystery Gift tab and enter the code from the email there. Players will be treated to a small animation of Zarude making an appearance, and players will have successfully added this Pokémon to their collection.

Players will also be able to collect a special Shiny Celebi in the same way. This mythical Pokémon functions as the guardian of the forest in the film and was previously only available in Pokémon Go. Players should make sure to collect both creatures before the deadline.
