==Trivia==
*Despite the event being named after ''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'', a majority of the playable Pokémon were absent from said games at launch; only [[Charizard]], [[Pichu]], [[Pikachu]], and [[Lucario]] were present at release.
**[[Ivysaur]], [[Squirtle]], [[Mewtwo]] and [[Incineroar]] are fully coded in the games' data, but were unobtainable until the release of ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon HOME}}''. [[Jigglypuff]] would not be added into the game until the ''Isle of Armor'' update, and [[Greninja]] is completely absent altogether.
