Which Pokemon that evolve through trade cannot be found in the wild?

3 minute read

I believe Conkeldurr, Dusknoir, and Gigalith, among others, can be found in the wild. Which trade evolutions in Sword and Shield, if any, cannot be found in the wild? Max Raid battles do not count.

Golem- can’t be obtained in SWSH.

Gengar- can be found in Max Raid Battle and at the Giants Cap.

Gourgeist- can be found at Hammerlocke Hills.

Trevenant- can only be obtained by trading Phantump.

Politoed- can be found at the Soothing Wetlands when it’s raining.

Aromatisse- same deal as Slurpuff, just for Shield. Obtainable by trading for a Spritzee holding a Satchet.

Escavalier- can be found at the Forest of Focus, Training Lowlands, and Max Raid Battles.

Gigalith- can be found at the Dusty Bowl, Brawlers Cave, and in Max Raid Battles.

Conkeldurr- can be found at Motostoke Riverbank and in Max Raid Battles.


I think that’s it. I put if a Pokémon can be found at in a Max Raid Battle or not just to give the full location data, but I’m aware that Max Raid Battles aren’t counted. Anyway, as you can see, Alakazam, Golem, Trevenant, Slowking, Scizor, Kingdra, Porygon2, Porygon-Z, Huntail, Gorebyss, Electivire, Magmortar, Slurpuff (with Max Raid Battles not counting), and Aromatisse (with Max Raid Battles not counting) can’t be found in the wild in SWSH, neither through the Isle Of Armor or the base games.

Hope this helps! :)



Hello!

I will be included the Island of Armor with this data.  Because it isn't much of an inconvenience for me with my source, I'll also be listing where any trade evolutions in the wild area can be found, if possible.
