Pokémon Sword and Shield players will soon be able to receive the Pokémon that are currently being used by Ash Ketchum in the Pokémon Journeys season of the anime. Ash has assembled a dream team of Pokémon for what may be his final run as the protagonist of the Pokémon anime, as he's currently taking part in the World Coronation Series and facing off against the greatest trainers in the world, including Cynthia from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Leon from Pokémon Sword and Shield.

In the past seasons of the Pokémon anime, Ash has assembled a team composed of Pokémon he encounters in the latest region from the games, along with his trusty Pikachu. Things have changed in Pokémon Journeys, as he now has a team of top-class competitive Pokémon from across the different regions of the Pokémon world. As of the time of writing, Ash is using a Dragonite, a Gengar, a Lucario, a Sirfetch'd, a Dracovish, and his Pikachu, which is revealed to have the Gigantamax Pikachu transformation ability. This means Ash has a believable team for taking on the best in the world.

Pokémon trainers on Nintendo Switch will soon be able to use Ash's team for themselves. The Pokémon Company in Japan has announced (via. Serebii on Twitter) that Ash's team will be given away weekly via serial codes, which can be redeemed through the Mystery Gift option in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Five of the Pokémon will be distributed internationally, while the Pikachu wearing Ash's hat might have to be given away via alternate means internationally, as it's being given away via codes distributed during a movie being shown in Japan.
