IndyCar representatives
IndyCar isn't expecting Jirayu La-ongmanee, Metagross and Beartic to represent the series, with Beartic the only Sword and Shield qualifier among the three.

Participants
The seeds were announced after lots of non-qualifying Pokémon Sword and Shield species were revealed on the Tour during the 2019 The Face Men Thailand Finals. Only Beartic was a legit qualifier.
 * Seedings are from the standings after the 2019 Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey.
