How to Get Primarina

Get and Evolve Popplio from the Diglett Master

You can get a Primarina in Pokemon Sword and Shield by fully evolving the Popplio you get from the Diglett Master in the Isle of Armor. Popplio is awarded to you after collecting 100 Digletts. Do note however that you can only get Popplio if you picked Sobble as your starter.

All 150 Diglett Locations and Rewards

Available Through Pokemon HOME

Although Primarina is originally not obtainable in Pokemon Sword and Shield, you can get it by transferring it from Pokemon's new cloud service, Pokemon HOME, to the game.
