Can you use Pokémon GO Pokémon in Sword and Shield?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can battle with your favorite Pokémon from Pokémon GO in the epic world of Pokémon Sword and Shield? Let’s dive right into this burning question.
Can your hard-earned Pokémon from your neighborhood adventures in Pokémon GO actually make a grand entrance in the realms of Pokémon Sword and Shield? We’ve got the scoop!
The Short Answer
In short, yes, you can transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon Sword and Shield! But there’s a catch. This isn’t a simple one-step process, and not every Pokémon can make the journey.
First, you need to send your Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME, a cloud-based service that connects all Pokémon games. From Pokémon HOME, you can then move your Pokémon into Sword and Shield, granted they appear in the Galar region Pokedex or in the Expanded Pokedex provided in the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs.
How Can You Use Pokémon GO Pokémon in Sword and Shield?
To kick things off, make sure you have both Pokémon GO and Pokémon HOME apps installed. You’ll also need a Nintendo account. Transfer your Pokémon from GO to HOME, then from HOME to Sword and Shield. Be aware that once you transfer a Pokémon, you can’t send it back to Pokémon GO.
Remember, while you’re exploring your neighborhood catching Pikachu and Eevee, think about the adventures they can have in Sword and Shield. Just make sure they’re part of the Galar region’s Pokedex first!
