▷Pokémon Sword and Shield: Isle of Armor DLC - All expansion methods exclusive to the expansion 🥇

We won't be covering any of the new Pokémon here - which shouldn't be too difficult. There are only two Pokémon that you really need to worry about evolving. Galar Slowbro and Kubfu both require special evolution methods, which we have detailed in the list of guides below. If you're looking for the rest of the standard evolutionary methods, check out the full guide here.

All development methods exclusive to the extension

There are over 50 Returning Pokémon found on Isle of Armor. Some of them require unique items like Moon Stone, Water Stone, Ice Stone, etc. These items can be purchased from the Rare Item Vendor in Storage on the side. Check back daily for a chance to get them. You can also purchase some of these special items in the battle tower arena.
