Yo! Two days until...
You can get a singing Pikachu!
First, go to the official Pokemon Website! Or go to this link Here! Do that, then read it!
Starting from 25th February, players will be able to get their hands on a special kind of Pikachu that knows the move Sing! Pikachu cannot usually learn Sing, so this Pokemon will truly be one-of-a-kind. Pikachu is celebrating 25 years of Pokémon with a song! I'm so exited! :)
Anyone trading Shiny Sobble or Shiny Grookey? :)

Any egg produced by two Pokemon originating from different languages in-game will have a higher chance of being shiny; 1/683 without the Shiny Charm, and 1/512 with it.

To increase your odds of running into Shiny Pokémon, there are two things you have to remember: how many of that specific Pokémon you have battled and how many you currently have in a Catch Combo.
For breeding Shiny Pokémon, most people will use the Masuda Method, a strategy named after Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda, the director who added the method to the game. This involves getting a parent Pokémon from a player playing the game in another language and breeding it. When using two Pokémon from different language games, this makes Shiny Pokémon six times as likely to hatch from eggs.

1. Select Sword or Shield as the game that you want to connect with Pokémon Home.
2. Choose your game and select "yes" to connect
3. The next screen will show your Pokémon Home Pokémon on the left screen with your Switch game boxes on the right. Manually select Pokémon and transfer them from left to right.
Note: Pokémon that are not included in your game will have a sign signifying that they can't be transferred yet.
Once finished, select the plus sign to quit and "save changes and exit"

If you trade and get a Pokemon that is too good to be true, it is probably hacked. Hackers like to create shiny pokemon and Pokemon with Pokerus. They will also make level 100s with competitive movesets and six perfect IVs. The bottom line is that using a hacked Pokemon can get you in trouble. The system might tag it, and then you can get banned or blocked. If you have a pokemon that can do things that this Pokemon isn’t supposed to do, then it is likely hacked.

In this case while it’s highly, highly unlikely that this Darmanitan and Lugia was actually obtained through regular gameplay, it’s entirely possible to get and hence won’t ruin you game.
As for getting banned,
Nintendo seems to have been chilling with their banning since the switch was released.
The base chance of finding a Shiny in Sword & Shield is 1 in 4096 chance.
Good luck! :)

I'm not sure if anyone else likes to hunt for shiny Pokemon like me, but I looked it up and here is the way to get the best possible chance to catch them:
1) Beat 500 of the Pokemon you want.
2) Currently have a defeat chain of 25 of the Pokemon.
3) Have the shiny charm.
Helpful Hints:
- Unlike Let's Go, Pokemon do not show up as shiny on the Overworld map.
- If you run into a different Pokemon, just run away, it won't hurt your beat streak.
- There are also 2 different kind of shiny. Of the small percent chance to catch a shiny, 1/16 of that chance it will be a "Square" shiny
50 = 2x shiny rate
100 = 3x shiny rate
200 = 4x shiny rate
300 = 5x shiny rate
500 = 6x shiny rate

A theory that players would be able to visit Kalos in an upcoming DLC pack held credence because it's thought that Kalos and Galar are located near each other. Kalos is based on France and Galar is based on the UK, and visitors in these real-world countries can take the Channel Tunnel to cross the water between the two nations.. There was also a rumor circulating a couple of months back that the third DLC pack would be called Cinder Citadel and other alleged leakers have called it the Scepter Sea, or even considered this to be a completely separate fourth DLC. Both suggested the player would be brought to a region based on Wales, which, depending on how it's looked at, could make more sense than the Kalos-Galar rumor!
