Wedgehurst Station Is South Of The Poke Center
You can find Wedgehurst Station right after passing Route 1. It's south of the Poke Center if you fly there.
Talk To Slowpoke Once It Appears
You can initiate the Pokemon Battle with Slowpoke by talking to it after the cutscene. You will be prompted to start the battle before proceeding. This is your chance to catch it!

Pokemon Team & How To Beat
Avery 1st Battle
Avery's Pokemon Lineup
| Pokemon | Type/Level | Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Galarian Slowpoke | Lv.60 | |
| Abra | Lv.58 | |
Both Pokemon on Avery's team share a type, so you should be able to steamroll them with a powerful enough Dark or Ghost type!
Avery 2nd Battle
Avery's Pokemon Lineup
| Pokemon | Type/Level | Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Galarian Slowpoke | Lv.62 | |
| Woobat | Lv. 62 | |
| Kadabra | Lv.63 | |
Avery's Team Has Grown
Just like Klara, Avery has brought more Pokemon to the fray this time around. All 3 are Psychic type, however, so basically any Ghost or Dark Pokemon you bring should be able to deal with them easily!
Avery 3rd Battle
Avery's Pokemon Lineup
| Pokemon | Type/Level | Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Galarian Ponyta | Lv.65 | |
| Swoobat | Lv. 62 | |
| Kadabra | Lv.63 | |
| Galarian Slowbro | Lv.67 | |
Sets Up A Weird Battlefield
Avery will set up Psychic Terrain immediately when battle starts. The main effects of this are that Psychic moves deal more damage, and that priority moves won't work! Be careful.
Also Dynamaxes Slowbro
Just like Klara, Avery will Dynamax his Galarian Slowbro. If you've brought a Dark or Ghost type Pokemon, you should be able to handle it easily. Just be careful if using a Ground type, as it knows a Water move!
Recommended Pokemon To Bring
Avery is somewhat of a one-trick-pony: all his Pokemon are Psychic and they're all weak to Ghost and Dark types. We highly recommend Dark type Pokemon, as they also happen to be immune to Psychic moves.
