Can I raid with shield if I have sword copy?

Question

I saw something about an event where corveknight is only raid able on shield and another Pokemon on sword. This got me thinking. Can I play with my friends that have a shield copy in raids or only the raids that aren't exclusive?

Comments

How are we supposed to know if the game did not come out yet?

I think the reveal was that Gmax Corviknight is *more likely* to appear in Shield, not that it's exclusive to Shield. https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/wildareaevents.shtml
Correct me if I misunderstood or if this isn't what you're talking about.

Answer 1

You can raid with people from shield as a sword player, and vice-versa (this includes G-max Dreadnaw/Corviknight).

The thing about G-max Dreadnaw/Corviknight is that when you check which pokémon you are going up against, there is a higher chance to have G-max Dreadnaw appear while playing sword, while G-max Corviknight for shield. This is due to an event going on until january 2020.
