Tier List Ranking of EVERY New Galar Pokémon so Far! Pokémon Sword and Shield

With two brand new Pokemon revealed for Sword and Shield in Wednesday's Nintendo Direct, I thought it would be fun to rank every Galar Pokemon we've seen so far in a tier list! I was recently watching Bird Keeper Toby's similar video on the subject (make sure you check that out) and realized we have some greatly differing opinions, so I thought I would go ahead and discuss my own opinions about this and see what you guys think!

I really love Corviknight because its basis is just objectively rad. Aside from the obvious raven/black knight inspiration, it is also very likely that it takes from the valravn of Danish folklore: a supernatural raven that gained human-like intelligence after eating the flesh of somebody who's fallen in battle and who can assume the form of a knight after eating the heart of a child. And I'm just a sucker for obscure aspects of my culture getting the limelight like this

I love the aesthetic and style of the game, the graphics are really up my ally
...except the tree 😂

[Lil-Dragon]

Great video Hoops. I like watching people tier pokemon because seeing the diversity of opinions interest me.

[dacapricorn]

This is why I love Pokemon. There is a Pokemon for everyone. I like Duraludon over Corviknight hands down.

[slipperbeaterem]

I knew there was nothing wrong in myself failing to rationalise your picks for the S tier. It’s gonna be interesting to see how you genuinely feel about the puppy evolving into a feminine dog and the Roggenrola clone maturing into what appears to be a burnt Rhyperior🤭

[fernandocarmonacordova]

I don't really Iike to watch this kind of videos, you know, the tier list sort of, but you made me watch this from head to toe. You're hands down one of the best poketubers I know. Keep it up!

[skittentapp]

You are the first person (besides me) that I have seen acknowledge the alchemy inspiration of Alcreamie’s name.

[gregolas]

It's cool to see you like Rolycoly, I hated it at first but I think I will use one in my game because I love rock types and I'm curious to see how it evolves!

[lucasroberts]

corviknight bby im gonna get you outta there ok

[anulimbu]

Excited for swoshi and it's anime art style Pokemon stickmon.

[alfpert]

I’d put both the legendaries in the A tier

[mctankies]

I'd personally put Zacian and Zamazenta in the D Tier.
I'm not feeling these legends at ALL.
Too similar for my taste.

[candle]

For some reason I thought Sobble was based off a newt this whole time

[lordjs]

Hello, Hoops. Nice list, even though you gave my favorite Galar pokémon the lowest ranking. Still cool video though.

[instantthought]

Do you think with Alcreamie being a pun of "alchemy" you'll have to feed it different curries or possibly other combinations of berries or items to unlock its other forms?

[elizabethazzinaro]

Hoops, I love your videos. your a laid back chill guy, but for the love that all is good: my sword puppy in the D tier? haha...

it is the ONLY thing you and I disagree on cause he would have gotten the S tier, haha...

and corvanknight would have gotten A but everything else, pretty much the same

[SkyguyDesigns]

Its amazing how different opinions can be. My list is completely different. But I respect the justification of your choices.

[Lucasfrmthaville]

Corviknight is in C because its name starts with c it should be in S
