With The Snowy Lands of the Crown, the circle of the eighth generation of Pokémon has come full circle. The creatures that were able to pass through the gates of Galar did so, leaving many of them out. Pokémon Sword and Shield, shouldn't have any additional additional content - incredible surprises aside: 102 Pokémon were added in Lonely Isle of Armor and 119 returned instead in Snowy Lands of the Crown.
At this point, it is legitimate to ask the question: which Pokémon are not there? Which ones were cut off due to the so-called Dexit, The Pokémon Company's decision to limit the number of Pokémon to the Regional Pokédex only?
We have collected and divided the pocket monsters into their respective generations. Here is the list of the missing Pokémon, that is, that it is not possible to find, capture or have in any way in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

These were all the missing Pokémon in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Among the ranks of about two hundred the starters of all generations certainly stand out (except the first and third, respectively available in the two DLCs) and most of the mysterious Pokémon, such as Deoxys, Darkrai, Arceus or the more recent Hoopa.
As a small consolation, Junichi Masuda reassured that even if a specific Pokémon is not available in Galar that does not mean that it will not appear in future games.
Hoping that this guide on missing Pokémon will be useful for a quick reference, we invite you to read our impressions on everything that makes up the eighth generation: Pokémon Sword and Shield, The Lonely Island of Armor and The Snowy Lands of the Crown .
