Are you wondering if Greninja, the awesome Water and Dark-type Pokemon, can make its way to Pokemon Sword? You’re not alone! Many trainers ask this question as they look to gather their favorite Pokemon in their adventures in the Galar region.

Let’s dive into whether it’s possible for Greninja to join your Pokemon Sword team.

Can You Get Greninja in Pokemon Sword?

Short answer: not directly. Greninja is not naturally found in the Galar region, which is the setting for Pokemon Sword. This means you won’t stumble upon Greninja while wandering through the wilds of Pokemon Sword.

However, don’t lose hope just yet! There are ways to get Greninja into your game, but it involves a bit of roundabout action. You can transfer Greninja from older games through the use of Pokemon HOME, a cloud-based service that connects with various Pokemon series games, allowing for Pokemon to be transferred between compatible titles.

Bringing Greninja into Your Pokemon Sword Adventure

While catching Greninja directly in Pokemon Sword isn’t an option, Pokemon HOME offers a bridge. If you’ve previously caught Greninja in another game, like Pokemon X and Y or Pokemon Sun and Moon, you can move it to Pokemon HOME and then into your Pokemon Sword game. Keep in mind, you’ll need both a Nintendo account and a Pokemon HOME account to make the transfer.

This method lets Greninja join your quest in the Galar region, although it requires having caught Greninja in a previous game and a bit of setup with Pokemon HOME.
