Exclusive Pokemon in Sword and Shield
Much like all iterations of the long-running Pokemon franchise, the latest entries come with their own exclusive Pokemon in each version. In order to catch them all, you’ll need to trade with friends or strangers in order to completely fill your pokedex. If you’re wondering which of the few hundred pokemon you will need to barter for, we’ve compiled an easy to view list of the latest exclusives and where to find them.
If you have a friend with a different version, the Gigantamax Pokemon within the list can be found in raids you’re invited to, as well without needing to trade.
