In Pokémon Sword and Shield, players are able to choose a uniform number of their choice upon registration for the Gym Challenge. In addition to it being on the back of the shirt and on the bottom left corner of the shorts, this number is also shown on their League Card. Gym Leaders and other special characters also have uniform numbers. Aside from Leon's number, which references him being the number 1 Trainer in Galar, most of the other uniform numbers use goroawase, a common form of Japanese wordplay.

In the games

Below is a listing of uniform numbers of the NPCs in Galar and the meaning of the number. Unless otherwise mentioned, the meaning refers to the goroawase reading. Gym Trainers do not have any uniform numbers.

Pokémon Evolutions

In The Champion, Victor was seen donning the number 25 on his uniform, likely a reference to Pokémon's 25th anniversary. It is also likely a reference to Pikachu's National Pokédex number.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

In the Sword & Shield arc, Casey Shield and Henry Sword received their uniforms. Casey's uniform number, 303, is likely a reference to March 3, when the Pokémon Adventures manga was first serialized in Japan, while Henry's uniform number, 808, is likely a reference to August 8, the date the first volume was released in Japan. These dates also correspond to Yellow and Red's birthdays, respectively.
