Distribution events for Pokémon Sword & Shield are still ongoing, almost three years after the game's release. At the moment, you can get Dracovish, and for the next few weeks, you'll be able to acquire Ash's entire team from the anime.
We love a theme, and Ash's party is a really good one, but when in London, there's only one theme you can truly go for — tea! (Thanks, Serebii!)
The Pokémon World Championships kick off next week from 18th until 21st August, and you'll be able to get a couple of 'mons to add to your team. If you tune into the event's livestream, you can nab yourself a Victini holding a Starf Berry, which comes with the moves V-Create, Work Up, Zen Headbutt, and Flame Charge.
Now, that's cool and all, but you know what's better? A free Pokémon that's based on a cup of tea and comes with milk! Yep, if you're attending the Championships in person, you'll be able to pick up a special Sinistea that comes with a bottle of MooMoo Milk! It's also got some fun moves — Celebrate, Memento, Metronome, and Aromatherapy — so we can guarantee that this is at least a nicely-scented celebratory brew. When in London, hey?
I'm sure The Pokémon Company recognise that many people don't take milk with their tea — so of course you don't have to use it — but at least the option is there. And there's nothing like a good cuppa, hey? It's a shame it doesn't come iced, what with the hot summer weather and all, or even a slice of Alcremie (or Old Gateau!).
You can get details on the distribution event from Serebii right here.
How do you like your tea? Will you be getting this special Sinistea from the World Championships next week? Let us know!

When I first heard the news, I misread it as you could get both through an online distribution so I was a tad bit miffed I would be missing out on such a wonderfully unique cup of tea but hey: you've got to give something to the people willing to attend in person, right? The Victini on the other hand makes me absolutely ecstatic since I've never had the opportunity to grab one until now (the HOME Living Dex grows furthermore) so I'll definitely be on that the minute the code gets released.
Tea with milk, 2 sugars, a couple bikkies. YUM
Still waiting for that crumpet Pokémon to come along...
@Silly_G I mean if you squish together Fidough hard enough, you could certainly make one (though I'm personally more of scone guy myself).
@Fizza : But imagine all that bready blood that would ooze out of it though.
And I prefer scones too.
@Silly_G Just do what older video games and movies did and say it's jam
How did the people living in Great Britain think about the atmosphere or vibe of Pokemon Sword and Shield? Does it feel british?
Whenever we visit our family in Russia, tea is our water.
@Jhena
As some from the real life version of Turffield and going to uni in the real life Circhester, I think SWSH is definitely more British than the average Pokémon game- I was about to say that I don’t remember there being a desert in the midlands, but judging by the recent weather countrywide, I think that they actually might have been ahead of the curve. It was nice to see that the script was in British English, including the slang and idioms, but it did occasionally come off as trying to hard.
@Munchlax
Thanks for the reply. Stuff like this really interests me in Pokemon games.
@Jhena It definitely does look like the British countryside and so does Untitled Goose Game
I crocheted a cup of tea for a competition once. The theme of the competition was British (It was either Doctor Who or Hitchhiker's Guide related, I can't remember now). I called my entry "Fancier Cuppa". None of the Americans knew why it cracked me up every time I said it.
