Each location in the Pokémon Sword and Shield games has its own identification number used internally by the game. They are enumerated here, in order. Locations with alternate names have their alternate names listed as an index number after the main location. Locations lacking an alternate name have the following index number blank. Index numbers between 00248 and 30000, 30020 and 40000, 40087 and 60000, and above 60004 are filled with null data.
Pokémon transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield that were originally obtained in a prior game will display their met location as their original game's region (e.g. "the Kanto region"). Pokémon transferred from a subsequent game to Pokémon Sword and Shield via Pokémon HOME are assigned the game of origin value for Pokémon Sword or Shield and have their met location changed to a "faraway place" with an index number depending on the original game, as well as their Egg received location changed to "a stranger" with index number 65534, if applicable.[1]
