As is common in the Pokemon main series games, there are some species that are exclusive to certain versions. In Pokemon Sword & Shield, the Crown Tundra DLC introduced a bunch of Pokemon from past generations–though, these too are subject to the version-exclusive divide.
Those found in Pokemon Shield consist of mostly legendary Pokemon and a few other powerful species. To get them, one will have to do a fair bit of exploring as well as many Max Raid battles. Be sure to level up accordingly, as the strongest of these mighty Pokemon possess levels around 70.
Where To Find Kabutops & Kabuto In The Crown Tundra DLC
