All New Info in The Isle of Armor
All New Info in The Crown Tundra
It's known that the locations of both expansions will completely consist of Wild Areas, and that they will be even larger than the Wild Area in the original games.
The Crown Tundra expansion, with its theme of Exploration, will dive even deeper into this aspect, and allow players to team up and explore more deeply into Pokemon Dens.
Brand-new Legendary Pokemon, as well as new Gigantamax forms, and over 200 returning Pokemon which were previously unavailable in Pokemon Sword and Shield will be featured in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra expansions.
The Isle of Armor expansion focuses on the theme of Growth, so it's safe to assume that new Gigantamax forms, in addition to those already known, will be popping up soon.
Be sure to keep track of all the new Pokemon and updates as they come out with our guide below!
List of Pokemon Appearing in Expansion Pass DLC
Unlike previous games in the series, which featured separate expanded versions such as Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon, Pokemon Sword and Shield allow owners of either Sword or Shield version to enjoy the full contents of both the The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra expansions.
However, because the Pokemon which are included in the Expansion Pass for Pokemon Sword and Shield differ depending on the version, players will need to purchase the Expansion Pass separately for both Pokemon Sword and Shield version if they want to obtain all possible Pokemon without trading.
