Pokemon Sword & Shield DLC: All Returning Old Dex Pokemon Confirmed So Far

Pokemon Sword and Shield are getting two big expansions this year, each of which takes players to a new portion of the Galar region that's home to many new and returning Pokemon to collect. In all, more than 200 familiar Pokemon will be added to the Switch games, and you don't need to own the expansions to obtain them--all players will be able to collect the Pokemon through trading or by transferring ones you've captured in previous games via the Pokemon Home service.

During the recent Pokemon Direct, developer Game Freak gave us a glimpse at some of the new and returning Pokemon coming to Sword and Shield with each expansion. We've listed all the Pokemon mentioned during the presentation below. Each expansion will also introduce some new versions of familiar Pokemon, such as Gigantamax forms of the Sword and Shield starters and Galarian Slowpoke, the latter of which you can catch now thanks to a recent Sword and Shield update.

Sword and Shield's first expansion, Isle of Armor, is slated to launch this June. According to Game Freak, the theme of this expansion is "growth," and it'll take players to the eponymous island where they'll encounter a new rival character and an old man named Mustard, Galar's longest-reigning Pokemon League Champion and Leon's former mentor.

The second expansion, The Crown Tundra, will follow sometime this fall. Its theme is "exploration," and it introduces a new co-op gamplay feature that allows you to explore Pokemon Max Raid dens together with other players. Lurking within these dens are a variety of Legendary Pokemon from previous games, as well as a handful of new ones.

The Pokemon Sword and Shield expansion pass costs $30 USD and is available to pre-purchase now. If you do pick it up, you'll receive a Pikachu uniform and Eevee uniform for your trainer as a bonus. You can catch up on all the other news from the Pokemon Direct in our recap.
