Pokémon Sword And Shield: Where To Find Pokémon - All Locations, Routes And Areas In The Galar Region

Below is a list of the areas that make up the two new Wild Areas found in Pokémon Sword and Shield. They're filled with strong wild Pokémon, many of which you won't have the power to catch until you have some Gym badges to your name. Some may appear only in certain weather conditions.
