pokemon-sword-shield
My friend has Pokemon Sword. I played on his console for a couple of hours and made quite some progress.
Now, I want to buy my own Nintendo Switch but with Pokemon Shield instead (so we can transfer the version exclusive Pokemon to complete the Pokedex).
Is it possible to transfer the Pokemon Sword progress onto Pokemon Shield?
Grookey and Scorbunny are physical attackers, while Sobble is a special attacker.
Their final evolutions' Attack, Special Attack, and Speed are:
Isle of Armor
In the Isle of Armor DLC, there is a mini-game in which you are tasked find Alolan Digletts throughout the island. By collecting these Diglett, you will be given various Alolan forms (as well as a Kantonian form and Alola starter) as rewards for returning them to their owner.
Base Version
You cannot obtain Alolan forms in the base version of Sword and Shield, but you can by transferring Pokemon into the game via Pokémon Home (as long as the base form exists with in the Pokedex) or by trading with others players who transferred them from Pokemon Home
Alolan forms do existin the Galar region, as Alolan Meowth can be found in one of the camps. This camp is located on Route 7, and is known as “Renee’s Camp”
Best Answer
The answer depends on how you define progress in a Pokemon game. You cannot transfer your character or any gyms/trials you have defeated between games, but you can trade the Pokemon that allowed you to make that progress so it'll be easy to redo it.
You should be able to trade almost immediately when starting a new game and will just need to catch pokemon you don't care about to trade to your old game. Beware, trading high level pokemon between games can cause them to not listen during battle. This is an old feature since the first games, and they will listen more as you beat more gyms.
