Yamper and Impidimp: two new Pokémon in Sword and Shield

They’ve been spotted in playable demos in E3.

Two new Pokémon in Pokémon Sword and Shield have been sighted in the playable demo at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Yamper is an Electric type based on the corgi species of dog. It learns Crunch, Spark, Play Rough and Wild Charge. It has a new Ability of Ball Fetch, which allows you to get the first Poké Ball from a failed throw at a Wild Pokémon back – provided it wasn’t holding any Items.

Impidimp is evidently based on an imp, but as of yet no type nor further information is known for it.

We’ve also seen a shot of Nessa’s Gym, which looks fun!

That brings us to a total of 12 new Pokémon (not including assumed evolutions of e.g. Starter Pokémon). What do you think of the newest additions?
