Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass: All Pokémon in the expansion

Blastoise and Venosaur Pokemon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass Source: iMore

In January 2020, Game Freak announced an Expansion Pass for Pokémon Sword and Shield that includes a mix of 200 familiar and new Pokémon. We've combed through the video, other Game Freak announcements, and studied data mines, to scrounge up a list of all Pokémon we know that will be included in this expansion. The Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass adds plenty to one of the best Nintendo Switch games, and there's a lot to unpack. We'll add to this list regularly until Game Freak releases an official list. Check back to keep updated!

Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass: Crown Tundra Expansion

Source: The Pokémon Company

Many Pokémon from previous generations that weren't in the core Gen 8 game are returning with the Expansion Pass. If one of your favorites didn't feature in the Galar Pokédex, you might just be able to capture it in the Crown Tundra. While the full list of Pokémon isn't confirmed, a data leak emerged earlier this year that lines up with the Pokémon we've seen in trailers and official materials. For now, we're going to include all Pokémon from the data leak, but note that some of them might not actually appear in the Crown Tundra and that a few more Pokémon might sneak in. Legendary and mythical Pokémon, as well as Ultra Beasts, are listed separately below.

New Pokémon and Galarian variants

While we have seen images for several new Galarian variants, we don't know many of their official names. For this reason, we've placed an asterisk next to any Pokémon that have an unconfirmed name.
