Bede Has New Editions To His Team

Bede Mawile

Bede's team has changed up slightly. He no longer has 4 pure type Psychic Pokemon. The addition of Mawile brings a non-psychic type. Know what pokemon you should bring before getting into the battle!

Bring Ghost Type Pokemon

Recommended PokemonTypeLocation
Golurk IconGolurkGhost IconGround Icon Catch Golett on Route 8

A Golurk would make extremely short work of Bede's entire team, having super effective moves against each Pokemon. Dynamaxing when his second Pokemon comes out will allow you to win with ease.

Dynamax Hatterene Now A Fairy Type

Hatterene

Hatterene, unlike its previous form, is a Psychic/Fairy type. It loses its Bug weakness and gains Steel. It can use a fire move, so be careful if you're bringing Steel Pokemon!

Recommended to Use Electric Type Moves

Every single one of Nessa's Pokemon is weak to Electric type moves. We highly recommend bringing an electric Pokemon such as Toxtricity or Jolteon.

Pokedex (All Pokemon List)

Golisopod Will Switch Out Mid-Battle

Golisopod

When Golisopod is taken below 50% health, it will switch out and escape. Be aware of this when using your Dynamax ability so it doesn't get wasted! Also, Golisopod is extremely tanky, so you might not be able to one shot it.

Nessa Will Still Dynamax Drednaw

Drednaw

Nessa will bring out a Gigantamax Drednaw, which is by far her biggest threat. Have a grass move ready to take this Pokemon out as soon as possible. Save your Dynamax for this!

Elite Four in Sword and Shield

No Elite Four

No Elite Four

Pokemon Sword and Shield does not have an Elite Four. Instead, you will gain access to the Champions Cup after beating all Gym Leaders in the Galar region. Fight through the semi-finals and get through the finals before being able to face the champion!
