The 10 Rarest Pokémon in Sword and Shield: Since 1995, fans have been captivated by the Pokémon franchise, and the release of each new instalment is eagerly awaited.
The Pokémon Sword and Shield game series is currently being released, and the entries on this list represent some of the most difficult-to-find Pokémon in both of those games.
The Pokémon on this list all have exceptionally low spawn rates, and most of the time, they can only be discovered in a single area.
The process of acquiring these rare Pokémon can be challenging and time-demanding, but it is well worth the effort in the long run because they are among the most powerful Pokémon in Sword and Shield.
It is important to note that legendaries were omitted from this list because of their naturally high rarity.
This list contains information that is, as of November 2020, as accurate as it can possibly be and will be updated as necessary.
The 10 Rarest Pokémon in Sword and Shield
1. Stonjourner
- Rarity: 2% and 5% Pokémon Sword Exclusive
- Location(s): Route 10 and Lake of Outrage
- Type: Rock
Stonjourner is a Pokémon that can only be obtained using the Sword, and its counterpart, Eiscue, can only be obtained through the Shield.
On Route 10 or in the Lake of Outrage, the spawn rate for Stonjourner is only 2%, making it more difficult to find than Eiscue.
The spawn chance of the Stonjourner in the Lake of Outrage is increased to 5% whenever there is a sandstorm.
The grass near Road 10 is home to one of the fewest occurrences of Stonjourner, making it the second-rarest encounter on the road itself, behind only Duraludon. Trades are the sole way for players of Pokémon Shield to obtain a Stonjourner.

The layout of Stonjourner is very similar to that of the well-known landmark Stonehenge in England.
2. Eiscue
- Rarity: 2% and 5% Pokémon Shield Exclusive
- Location(s): Route 10 and Lake of Outrage
- Type: Ice
Eiscue, a Pokémon of the Ice type, has the appearance of a penguin with an ice cube for its head. It is a really adorable Pokémon.
Unfortunately, Eiscue can only be obtained through the purchase of a Pokémon Shield, despite the fact that it is renowned for its endearing appearance.
Eiscue can only be used in one game, and locations, where it can be played, are hard to come by. On Route 10, there is a 2% chance of encountering an Eiscue.
There is a 2% to 5% possibility that Eiscue will show up at the Lake of Outrage, depending on the weather and whether or not there is snow or a full-blown snowstorm.
Trades are the only option for Pokémon Sword trainers to acquire an Eiscue, as the Pokémon cannot be purchased.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
The Ice Face ability of Eiscue causes it to unveil its face, which is known as the Noice Face (No Ice Face).
3. Trapinch
- Rarity: 1% in Pokémon Sword; 5% in Pokémon Shield
- Location(s): Route 6 and Hammerlocke Hills (Pokémon Shield only)
- Type: Ground
In the Pokémon Sword and Shield games, Trapinch is one of the few Pokémon whose spawn rate varies from one version of the game to another.
This is true across all three games. On Route 6, players who have Pokémon Sword only have a one per cent chance of running into Trapinch, whereas those who have Pokémon Shield have a five per cent chance.
In addition, there is a 2% chance of capturing Trapinch when it shows up at Hammerlocke Hills in Shield during a sandstorm.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
The only Pokémon that can be found in both the Bug and Dragon Egg Groups is Trapinch, along with all of its developed forms.
4. Super Size Pumpkaboo
- Rarity: 1%
- Location(s): Route 4, Hammerlocke Hills, and Giant’s Mirror
- Type: Grass and Ghost
There are four distinct sizes of the Pokémon known as Pumpkaboo: small, average, large, and super giant.
This Pokémon has the appearance of a jack-o’-lantern. It is possible that the size of the Pumpkaboo does not important to casual gamers; nonetheless, the various sizes do have distinct statistics, and the Super Size Pumpkaboo is the most powerful of the bunch.
The Super Size Pumpkaboo is extremely uncommon and only has a 1% chance of being encountered, in contrast to the other sizes of Pumpkaboo, which are fairly common.
It is possible to obtain a Super Size Pumpkaboo at multiple locations, despite the fact that it is difficult to do so.
These locations include Route 4, which is accessible early on in the game; Hammerlocke Hills in a variety of weather conditions; and Giant’s Mirror only in typical weather circumstances.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
The call of the Super Size Pumpkaboo is lower-pitched than those of its smaller counterparts.
5. Sizzlipede
- Rarity: 1%
- Location(s): Route 3
- Type: Fire and Bug
Another one of the new Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Sword and Shield is called Sizzlipede. This Pokémon, which has the types Fire and Bug, is one of the rarest that players will find early on in the game of Sword and Shield.
There is a 1% probability that Sizzlipede will spawn on Route 3, which is its sole known location. Even if a player has a difficult time capturing a wild Sizzlipede, they still get a shot at one during the challenge at Kubo’s gym.
But if the player is unsuccessful at Kubo’s, they will have to spend a considerable amount of time looking around Route 3.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
There are rumours, which have not been proven, that the wild encounter rate of Sizzlipede (and other Fire-types) can be boosted if the player has Pokémon with the Flash Fire ability at the head of the party. These rumours have not been validated.
6. Feebas
- Rarity: 1%
- Location(s): Route 2 near Professor Magnolia’s House
- Type: Water
It is common knowledge that Feebas is one of the most hideous Pokémon in existence; nonetheless, this does not prevent it from being one of the most sought after Pokémon in any of the games in which it is featured, including Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Feebas has earned a reputation over the years as being a Pokémon that is difficult to capture due to its rarity.
There is a one per cent chance of catching a Feebas in Sword and Shield if you fish in the areas close to Professor Magnolia’s home.
Even though it’s not easy to get a Feebas, players still try to get one because of its evolved form, Milotic. Milotic is a formidable Pokémon, but it can’t be obtained in the wild. Feebas evolves into Milotic.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
The way Feebas evolves from one generation to the next is unique among Pokémon and makes it the first and only Pokémon of any kind to do so.
7. Duraludon
- Rarity: 1% – 2%
- Location(s): Route 10 and Lake of Outrage
- Type: Dragon and Steel
In the entirety of the Pokémon series, the only other Pokémon of the Dragon/Steel type is Dialga’s legendary counterpart, Duraludon.
As a result, it is not surprising that Duraludon is difficult to capture in Pokémon Sword and Shield. After the player has achieved victory in the Giant’s Seat and earned the title of champion, only then will they be able to view Duraludon.
After accomplishing this goal, the spawn rate of Duraludon will increase to 1% on Route 10, and it will increase to 2% at the Lake of Outrage during a snowfall.
At this time, Duraludon does not have an evolved form; however, in Sword and Shield, it does have a form known as Gigantamax.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
The first Pokémon to have the ability to choose between Light Metal and Heavy Metal, Duraludon is the first of its kind.
8. Dhelmise
- Rarity: 1%
- Location(s): Route 9
- Type: Grass and Ghost
Dhelmise was introduced for the first time in Pokémon Sun and Moon, and it later reappeared in Pokémon Sword and Shield as a rare Pokémon.
There is only a one per cent chance that wild Dhelmise may spawn on Route 9, which is close to Circhester Bay and Outer Spikemuth.
To our great relief, the presence of Dhelmise is not dependent on any particular meteorological conditions. Players also have the opportunity to get Dhelmise by participating in Max Raid Battles in Bridge Field, Dappled Grove, Stony Wilderness, and Giant’s Mirror; however, it is important to note that these fights are extremely challenging to win.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
Even though it can’t learn any one-hit knockout skills, Dhelmise is reported to be capable of knocking out Wailord with just one blow.
9. Antique Sinistea
- Rarity: 1%
- Location(s): Glimwood Tangle
- Type: Ghost
Another one of the brand new Pokémon found in Pokémon Sword and Shield is called Sinistea. Although Sinistea can be caught at a rate of 10% of the time, its Antique form is exceedingly difficult to find.
Only one out of every one hundred Sinisteas that spawn is an Antique variety, and it will carry a tag indicating its authenticity on the underside of the cup.
The only difference between Antique Sinistea and Phoney Sinistea in terms of its statistics is the requirements it must fulfil in order to evolve, despite the fact that it exists in two distinct forms.
An object known as a Cracked Pot is required for a Phoney Sinistea to evolve into a Poltergeist, but an item known as a Chipped Pot is required for an Antique Sinistea.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
Even though it looks purple, the tea that is contained within Sinistea is actually black tea.
10. Dreepy
- Rarity: 1% – 2%
- Location(s): Lake of Outrage
- Type: Dragon and Ghost
Because it can only be found in one location and only under specific weather conditions, Dreepy is thought to be the most difficult Pokémon to capture in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
The Lake of Outrage is the only place you can find this new generation of pseudo-legendary dragon, and you can only find it when the weather is cloudy, foggy, or stormy.
The spawn rate of Dreepy is only 1% – 2% even when these weather conditions are met, making it an extremely difficult Pokémon to capture.
However, despite the additional work required, it is well worth it to evolve Dreepy into one of the most powerful Pokémon in Sword and Shield.
Did It Cross Your Mind?
The first and only Dragon-type Pokémon that can also evolve into a Ghost, Dreepy is a rare and unique Pokémon.
