Pokemon Sacred Sword And King’s Shield – Pokemon Changes

These are just changes, if it’s not listed its the same as in the base game.
This goes for moves, types, abilities, and whole pokemon

Any moveset change that strictly modifies the level at which a move is learned will also not be listed here, as those specifics can be found in the complete TXT dump

If something learns a new move via level up but not TM please let us know,
as this is unintended.
On the other side of that coin some Pokemon now learn moves by levelup that were previously learnable by TM Such additions are not listed.

Evolution method changes
Trade evolutions now evolve via levelup
Trade evolutions while holding an item are now levelup via holding item
So steenee now learns stomp at level 1, easy evolution there
Pumpkaboo now evolves between level 24 and 30 depending on form, with the smallest evolving earliest. 24 small, 26, average, 28 large, 30 super
Pikachu – Thunderstone for Regular Raichu, Sun or moon stone for A-Raichu
Koffing- level up holding black sludge past level 35 for Kanto Weezing
Shelmet & karrablast now evolve via levelup with each other in the party
Inkay now evolves into malamar when levelup up with the move topsy-turvy, learns at 35
