[Sword & Shield] How many new Pokemon do you think we'll get?

[Palamon]

Since it's been confirmed we're getting new Pokemon, how many new ones do you think we'll be getting? I do think we'll at least get 10.

I'm thinking the exact opposite, at most 10.
We know at least 6 new pokemon becoming available after all of DLC : Kubfu, Urshifu, Calyrex, "Regielec", "Regidrake" and Zarude.
Dataminers have found space for 8 extra slots for pokemon after Eternatus, which means there are only 2 more spots available for pokemon, most likely 2 new mythicals in the coming years.
It is possible that the DLC may add more slots, but I personally find it unlikely. If they add more pokemon aside from the 6 I mentioned and the 2 new mythicals, they would most likely be some kind of legendary, and I only see them adding maybe 1 or 2 of these. I don't see them adding any more non-legendary pokemon.

If they did, that would be cool though.

At most 10 is what I think, too! More seems like quite a lot, though would also be nice given the cost of the DLC... :s

 

[chriton]

Is that 10 including what we know already or no?

What about forms? We know there are three new Galarian (?) forms for the Kanto Legendaries, and there's Slowbro and Slowking to come too. They're not entirely new, but there wasn't data for them in the game yet, so I don't think it'd be surprising for them to add more than that.

However, brand new Pokemon? I also feel we won't get that many new ones, frankly. And we won't see too many new Galarian forms either.

The spaces I'm referring to exactly are for completely new pokemon. Different forms are stored differently.
Speaking of Galarian Forms, If there are new non-legendary pokemon, they're probably going to be Galarian evolutions.

Less than 10

Surely would have to be a fair few?
