Players can customize their bike colors in players to traverse far lands in a shorter time, but the version in this game allows the player to go faster with a speed boost and travel across bodies of water. Although, up until the Isle of Armor DLC, the player has been unable to customize the look of the bike. Now with the DLC released, players can change their bike look. Here's how players can do so in Pokemon Sword & Shield.
The Isle of Armor DLC is the first of two parts releasing as part of the Pokemon Sword & Shield expansion . This is the first time the Pokemon series has introduced paid DLC for a mainline title. In the Isle of Armor, players revisit the Galar region and discover a new location off the eastern coast of the mainland. This new location is full of over 100 older Pokemon like Larvesta and Zorua. Although, plenty of new changes have been introduced in the game, including bike customization. Here's how players can customize the look of their bikes in the Isle of Armor.
How To Customize Your Bike in Pokemon Sword & Shield
Players can only customize their bike on the Isle of Armor. Once arriving, head over to the Master's Dojo. To the bottom left of the Dojo, the player will find a woman wearing a construction outfit. Speak to her and she will offer the player an option between two color schemes for their bike, Glistening White or Glistening Black. These each has its own light trail and sparkles. It adds a new layer to the bike in Pokemon Sword & Shield.
The Isle of Armor also comes along with an entirely new story. On the Isle of Armor, the player will team up with Kubfu, a new legendary Pokemon, to become stronger and climb across one out of two large towers. The Tower of Waters and the Tower of Darkness will evolve Kubfu into one of two forms. Players can also keep Kubfu as a permanent party member. The second half of the DLC, the Crown Tundra, is scheduled to release later this Fall. This will include an additional location to explore and new legendary Pokemon to encounter. This is a big deal for mainline Pokemon titles moving forward.
Pokemon Sword & Shield is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
