The Isle of Armor has just a few Pokemon exclusive to each version as shown above, although it's also possible to catch them in Max Raids when they appear.
Additionally, it's also possible to catch version exclusive Pokemon if participating in a Max Raid hosted by another player.

Zacian | Zamazenta |
The Legendary Pokemon and mascots of Pokemon Sword and Shield are each exclusive to their respective game. The Attack-focused Zacian can only be obtained in Pokemon Sword, while the Defensive Zamazenta is exclusive to Pokemon Shield.

Gigantamax Machamp | Gigantamax Lapras | |
Gigantamax Coalossal | Gigantamax Gengar | |
Gigantamax Flapple | Gigantamax Appletun |
Although their normal versions are available in both versions, Gigantamax versions of some Pokemon are exclusive to either Pokemon Sword or Shield. That said, players from either version can participate in Max Raid Battles featuring these Pokemon when they are hosted by another player.
Although some Pokemon are exclusive to each version, you can still get all exclusives by playing with other players online. Joining a player with a different version when they embark on a Max Raid battle or Dynamax Adventure lets you catch any Pokemon exclusive to their version.
