Pokémon Sword and Shield are now the second-highest selling Pokémon games of all time
Pokémon Sword and Shield may have been cast into the shadow of the Diamond and Pearl remakes in 2021 and further thanks to Legends: Arceus launching last month, but it has moved up the charts once again to become the second best-selling Pokémon title ever.
Thanks to Nintendo’s latest sales report, we now know that Pokémon Sword and Shield have moved 23.9 million units as of Dec. 31, 2021. This pushes the game up past Pokémon Gold and Silver for the Gameboy Color, which sold 23.
