Transfer Only Pokémon

Pokémon Sword & Shield have many Pokémon that cannot be in the game but it also has dozens of Pokémon not in the Galar Pokédex but still usable in game. These are found either by transferring through Pokémon HOME or via various event distributions.

In addition to the Pokémon Listed below, any original Form or Alolan Form of a Pokémon in Sword & Shield is also transferable.

When Pokémon Sword & Shield Isle of Armor came out, many of the transfer only Pokémon became available in the game natively.
