Not wanting to get worried over the poachers' machinations, Shiranui decided to research on his smartphone what new Pokémon the Galar Region would have.  He looked through the starters—Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble—and tossed up between the latter two.  Other Pokémon he found out about were Wooloo, Gossifleur, Eldegoss, Drednaw, Corviknight, and the legendary Zacian and Zamazenta.  He remembered hearing about Chuck's brother Tru researching the latter two and was thinking about catching a Corviknight of his own although its height surprised him—eight inches taller than the legendary Moltres on average.
