No, you cannot transfer Pokémon from Sword to Let's Go directly. Pokémon Sword and Shield operate within the Galar region ecosystem, while Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee are set in the Kanto region, using a different game mechanic. However, you can use Pokémon HOME as a bridge to transfer Pokémon from Sword to other compatible games, but transfers to Let's Go are one-way, and not all Pokémon from Sword can be moved to Let's Go due to region and game mechanic differences.
