InPokémon Sword and Shield, Watts can be collected in several ways:

• Pokémon Dens yield Watts if their stones are glowing red; obtaining the Watts causes them to stop glowing. Dens will start to glow whenever all Pokémon Dens are reset, which happens whenever the date changes or there are no Max Raid Battles remaining.
  • If the Pokémon Den has an available Max Raid Battle, it yields 300 Watts (initially) or 2,000 Watts (after catchingEternatus).
  • If the Pokémon Den does not have an available Max Raid Battle, it yields 50 Watts (initially) or 200 Watts (after catching Eternatus).
• Catching or defeating aBrilliant Pokémon yields some Watts.
• Watts can be received after taking part in theRotom Rally.
• Digging Pa can dig up a large amount of Watts in exchange for sevenArmorite Ores.
