Bonuses for Playing Previous Pokémon Games

By
Vincent Lau

This page outlines all the bonuses you can get for playing previous Pokémon games.

As an incentive for making you buy ‘em all, some Pokémon games give you small bonuses for playing a previous game. For example, you can get a Gigantamax "Pikachu" IconPikachu or "Eevee" IconEevee in Pokémon Sword & Shield if you played Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee.

In Scarlet & Violet’s case, you can receive a unique phone case for your "Rotom" IconRotom Phone depending on which Pokémon game(s) you’ve played.

The eligible games include:

Pokémon Sword or Shield Based on the Ball Guy.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl Based on the Pokétch.
