All Pokémon games have version exclusives. It’s a constant attempt to make their players socialize and interact with each other. The new Sword and Shield DLC, the Isle of Armor, added 105 Pokémon from previous generations to the new game. Some of these are exclusive to the different versions. There are only four version exclusive Pokémon in the Isle of Armor DLC.
