One of the bigger complaints about Sword and Shield has been the fact that not every Pokémon from past games has been included. Even with the debut of Pokémon Home, which allows fans to transfer Pokémon from older games, some Pokémon were unable to make it to the Galar region.
The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra DLC will add some of those Pokémon when they are released in June and the fall, respectively.
With the latest Sword and Shield DLC trailer dropping this week, more older Pokémon have been confirmed to return.
While we had a list going when the DLC was first announced in January, here’s an updated list of returning Pokémon coming in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra DLC.
ISLE OF ARMOR
The Isle of Armor DLC is set to arrive on June 17, and with it comes fan favorites like the Psyduck and Zorua lines.
The latest trailer confirms other favorites like the Scyther and Sandile lines. Here’s a running list of returning Pokémon in The Isle of Armor portion of the Sword and Shield DLC, with new names appearing in bold:

CROWN TUNDRA
The Crown Tundra DLC is going to be released some time in the fall of 2020, and will see the return of all the Legendary Pokémon from past games.
As for the non-Legendary Pokémon, the Zubat and Nido lines will be added, while Metagross and Garchomp, two pseudo-legendary Pokémon, will also join the Galar region later this year. The new trailer confirmed the Luxray line, as well as the Altaria line, two popular Pokémon from the Sinnoh and Hoenn regions.
