View source for Save data bonus

{{unknown name}}
'''Save data bonuses''' are extra content in [[Nintendo Switch]] games available for users with [[save]] data on the system for another game. This does not require the other game to be installed or inserted, but requires save data to be present on the system from having turned the game on at least once. They also serve as a method of getting [[Mythical Pokémon]] without [[Event Pokémon|limited time events]].

== In the core series games ==
=== [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] ===
Save data from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] allows the player to receive a {{p|Pikachu}} and/or {{p|Eevee}} with the [[Gigantamax#Gigantamax Factor|Gigantamax Factor]] at the [[Meetup Spot]]. The Pikachu is only obtainable with save data from Let's Go, Pikachu!, and the Eevee likewise requires Let's Go, Eevee!. This was initially the only way to obtain a Pikachu or Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor, but they later became available in special [[Max Raid Battle]]s, and [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion adds [[Max Soup]], allowing the Gigantamax Factor to be given to any ordinary Pikachu or Eevee.

Save data from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, and [[Pokémon Quest]] each unlock one pair of a background and a frame for [[League Card]]s.

=== [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] ===
Save data from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! allows the player to receive a {{p|Mew}} from an NPC in [[Floaroma Town]].

Save data from Pokémon Sword and Shield allows the player to receive a {{p|Jirachi}} from another NPC in Floaroma Town.

Save data from Pokémon Legends: Arceus allows the player to receive the [[Azure Flute]] and catch an {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Hall of Origin]]; provided all 28 missions have been completed in Legends: Arceus.

=== [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] ===
Save data from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! allows the player to receive both the Pikachu Festival Mask and the Eevee Festival Mask.

Save data from Pokémon Sword and Shield allows the player to receive the Shaymin Fancy Kimono and Shaymin Fancy Bottoms. After the [[credits]], it also unlocks [[Task#Request|Request]] 92: A Token of Gratitude, in which the player obtains the [[Gracidea]] and catches a {{p|Shaymin}}.

Save data from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl allows the player to receive the Modern Jacket, Modern Trousers, and Modern Shoes from [[Team Galactic]]'s uniform. After the credits, it also unlocks Request 93: The Darksome Nightmare, in which the player catches a {{p|Darkrai}}.

== In spin-off games ==
=== [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] ===
Save data from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! unlocks the Partner Pikachu spirit, and save data from Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! unlocks the Partner Eevee spirit. Both spirits were initially exclusive to this method, but since Ver. 2.0.0, they are also available on the Spirit Board.
