When trading within the games Pokémon Sword & Shield, there is no way to check the legitimacy of Pokémon you receive from random people on the internet. As such, a list detailing the minimum levels of each Pokémon within each possible PokéBall has been compiled. This list will continually be updated with all events and additions brought on by new games. This list will also cover all the Pokémon as they have been captured from Ruby & Sapphire onwards until Sword & Shield and even includes events and the side-games when transfer capability is given. As of Sword & Shield, even genderless and male only Pokémon can now pass balls.
Hover over the level to view details including where to capture the Pokémon at that particular level, and in what game. For all balls except PokéBall, Cherish Ball and Master Ball, it lists two levels for base Pokémon: A level for breeding the Pokémon, and a level for it being in the wild.
Pokémon from Max Raid Battles can be as low as 25 through a small exploit where you connect a game with 0 badges as it gets to the Wild Area and participate in 3 star or above Raid Battles online.
All Pokémon listed here are showing their levels when they have the special 
Sword & Shield Symbol.

The following Pokémon can only be obtained by transferring a Pokémon from Sword & Shield to Legends: Arceus and evolving it. They will still have the Sword & Shield mark but can't be put back into the game
They may only appear in the Strange Ball if evolved in Legends: Arceus after evolution until later games
