Once you have completed the Pokedex in Sword and Shield (seeing all Pokemon in the game, not catching), you will need to speak to the man in a doctor’s outfit in the Hotel in Circhester. You’ll find the Hotel to the left of the town. Head inside and go upstairs via the elevator to the back-left room and speak to him. He will let you know if you have completed the Pokedex or not.
