Sword and Shield fans uncover likely returning Pokémon for Crown Tundra DLC
Over 100 Pokémon likely to return in DLC 2
Fans have assembled a list of Pokémon likely to return in Sword and Shield’s second DLC expansion, Crown Tundra.
The Pokémon Company confirmed earlier this year that the Switch game’s two expansions would add more than 200 legacy Pokémon, which even players without the DLC would be able to obtain via other means such as trading.
Sword and Shield’s first expansion, Isle of Armor, released this week and added around 100 legacy Pokémon to the game.

Update 15/09/20
Pokémon Sword & Shield Crown Tundra trailer says the DLC is ‘coming soon’
The release of the Pokémon Home cloud service earlier this year allowed players to transfer 35 previously unobtainable monsters into Sword and Shield, including Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Mewtwo and Celebi.
This week The Pokémon Company shared several announcements, the most significant of which was New Pokémon Snap, a Nintendo Switch sequel to the classic N64 game.
It also announced Pokémon Café Mix, a free-to-start puzzle game for Switch, iOS and Android, and a second mobile app – Pokémon Smile – designed to help children brush their teeth.
The Pokémon Company will hold a second digital event on Wednesday, June 24, when it will unveil a new “big project”.
