One of the best features of Pokémon Sword and Shield’s DLC is that it gives players access to all the fusion-capable Pokémon in the series’ history. Introduced in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Pokémon fusions are a rarely-seen but beloved feature in the mainline series. The concept has spawned countless Pokémon fusion fan art and even entire fan-made games based around the system.

Game Freak has chosen the “less is more” approach with its official fusions, limiting the ability to just a handful of select Legendary Pokémon, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if The Pokémon Company decided to expand upon the feature one day. For now, fans will have to settle for the fact that every official fusion in the series can be found in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Sword and Shield’s Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra DLC expansions make these fusions easier than ever to obtain; once the player has the fusion-capable Pokémon, all they need to do is talk to an NPC in Stow-on-Side to receive the necessary fusion items. It is important to note that players can only have one fusion of each pairing at any given time, though, as the items needed can only work on a single pair at once.

Pokémon Sword & Shield: Kyurem Fusion With Reshiram/Zekrom

While Kyurem was introduced in the original Pokémon Black and White games, its fusion capabilities weren’t brought about until the sequels. In Black 2 and White 2’s postgame, the player could catch Kyurem and either Reshiram or Zekrom, then obtain the DNA Splicers item, which granted fusion capabilities. This item was brought back in Sword and Shield’s DLC and fulfills the same purpose, allowing the player to fuse Kyurem and Reshiram into White Kyurem or Kyurem and Zekrom into Black Kyurem. While both Pokémon possess incredible stats, White Kyurem is especially useful for grinding out Max Raid Battles in Sword and Shield, as it has excellent type coverage and one of the highest base Special Attack values in any game.

Pokémon Sword & Shield: Necrozma Fusion With Solgaleo/Lunala

Generation 7 introduced the Ultra Beasts, and while they might not be universally beloved Pokémon designs, they did introduce the series’ second fusion possibility. Again gaining the capability in the generation’s follow-up games, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma was able to fuse with either Solgaleo or Lunala. Fusing with Solgaleo transforms Necrozma into its Dusk Mane form and adds Steel to its Psychic typing, while fusing with Lunala turns it into its Dawn Wings form and adds a Ghost typing. The items needed for these fusions are the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer.

Pokémon Sword & Shield: Calyrex Fusion With Glastrier/Spectrier

Calyrex, the cover Legendary for The Crown Tundra, is the newest Pokémon to have fusion capabilities. During The Crown Tundra’s story, the player learns Calyrex was a powerful king in ancient times, and they are then tasked with reuniting Calyrex with his former steed. Eventually, the player creates the Reins of Unity item, which allows Calyrex to fuse with either Glastrier or Spectrier. This is certainly the outlier of all the fusion Pokémon, as it’s less of a true fusion than just one Pokémon riding another, but that doesn’t discount the fact that both of these fusions are powerhouse additions to any team. In addition to having extremely high base stats like all fusions, both Ice Rider and Shadow Rider Calyrex have two abilities, as the fused form maintains the abilities for both base Pokémon. This is a first for the series, and it opens up the door for other intriguing ways Game Freak could build on the fusion system in future games after Pokémon Sword and Shield.
