According to game producer Junichi Masuda, the upcoming generation of games will only accept transfers via Pokemon Home for the Pokemon who exist in the Galar Region of Sword and Shield. That means any Pokemon cut for the upcoming games will not make it to Nintendo Switch unless another installment comes in the future that includes them.
