Pokémon Sword and Shield are finally available to play. I got my copy as soon as midnight hit on release day and have played for several hours now. One of the things I was most interested in learning was the Pokémon that are exclusive to either version of the game. If you only have one of these games, you'll need to trade Pokémon with a friend who has the other version if you want to complete the Galar region National Pokédex. Without further ado, here are all the Pokémon Sword and Shield exclusives.
