    I don't buy downloadable content or have a child account, but are you saying you bought the DLC on a parent account on your old Switch? Do you need to transfer that account, too?

    I think you need to designate the new Switch as your "primary" Switch, so that accounts can share content they own.

    Maybe check the Nintendo support site?

    Hello Trainer, I recommend you open a ticket with the support team for this instance. To do so, please visit https://support.pokemon.com/ and then click the Pokémon Trading Card Game Live link. From there click "Contact Us"

    This happened to me as well, $40 down the drain

    @Mod_Skrilla Isn't the OP asking about Pokémon Sword, not the card game? Should they still use the TCG Live link?
