New Pokemon Officially Announced, But It’s a Glitched Image!

A few moments ago, the official Pokemon Twitter announced the discovery of a new Pokemon. Their Tweet links to the official Pokemon Sword & Shield website, but there is no new Pokemon listed next to the ones that were previously revealed.

Instead, the website shows a glitched image in the right corner. If you hover over the image, it will move a few times. Once you're able to click it, it plays Rotom's cry. The image is wrapped in an HTML tag named "glitch-item." So this was obviously done on purpose.

Update: The glitched Pokemon also has its own page set up! It's listed as a Fighting-type Pokemon with the Steadfast Ability and its Pokedex description says "Only ... that have survived many battles can attain this... When this Pokemon's ...ers, it will retire from combat." The Japanese Pokemon website also gave a partial name for this new Pokemon: (ナ イ ト nite).

What could this Pokemon be? Obviously The Pokemon Company wants to spark speculation among fans. Could it be a new Glitch Pokemon? A new glitched form of Rotom? An evolution of Farfetch'd? A Galarian Cubone? Who knows?!
