Pokémon Sword & Shield - Isle of Armor Playthrough 12: The Gigantamax Powers of Urshifu
0We have found the secret ingredient for the Max Soup which we need in order for Urshifu to Gigantamax. Then it is time for Mustard to test us in another fight, but this time, it is a more serious battle, he is nothing to take lightly, as he is the Dojo Master and the mentor of Leon, this will be one challenging fight.
As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description
For Urshifu to Gigantamax, you need three Max Mushrooms and a Max Honey, as those are the ingredients needed for Urshifu.
Make sure you prepare, because you will face Mustard in a serious battle, I recommend getting your team to low to mid 70s, because Mustard's lowest level Pokémon is at Level 73, and his highest is at Level 75. I will go over his team, and he is nothing to take lightly for being the Dojo Master.
Mienshao: Fake Out, U-turn, Blaze Kick, Close Combat
Luxray: Psychic Fangs, Wild Charge, Crunch, Play Rough
Lycanroc: Accelerock, Stealth Rock, Stone Edge, Play Rough
Corviknight: Iron Head, Brave Bird, Body Press, Light Screen
Kommo-o: Clanging Scales, Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, Clangorous Soul
Urshifu: Surging Strikes/Wicked Blow, Close Combat, Poison Jab, Iron Head
Mustard's team is very powerful, they can hit very hard. His Mienshao will lead with Fake Out, and it has U-turn to deal with any Psychic-type Pokémon used against it, and Mienshao is very fast. Luxray has Psychic Fangs, so if you thought Reflect would help, Psychic Fangs destroys screens, and Luxray has Intimidate, so try to use Special Attacks against it. Lycanroc can set up Stealth Rock, and it will use Accelerock to finish off weakened Pokémon. Corviknight is very defensive, and it can use Light Screen to decrease any damage from Special Attacks, and his Kommo-o has Clangorous Soul, which will boost all of Kommo-o's stats by one stage, like a boost from Ancient Power, but it will lose 1/3 of its HP.
Now for his most powerful Pokémon, he will have the Urshifu of the opposite form to the one you have, so if you have completed Tower of Darkness, Mustard will have a Rapid Strike Urshifu, and if you completed Tower of Waters, he would have a Single Strike Urshifu.
Mustard will Gigantamax his Urshifu, and it is time to go over their G-Max Moves. Rapid Strike Urshifu can use G-Max Rapid Blow, which comes from its Water-type moves, and Single Strike Urshifu can use G-Max One Blow, which its Dark-type moves become, Urshifu is currently the only Pokémon that has two Gigantamax forms, both for each forms. These G-Max Moves can break through Max Guard, so in formats that allow Dynamaxing, Urshifu is a dangerous Pokémon in battle.
I do like the music for that fight, even though it does remind me of Street Fighter in some way, this is a very fitting song for a very serious battle with the Dojo Master himself, and the mentor of Leon.
After defeating Mustard, it is the Isle of Armor completed, and it is quite short of an adventure, as it can be completed in about 3 to 4 hours, there have been videos of the whole Isle of Armor quest. You will unlock Restricted Sparring, where you have to use three Pokémon of that type, say you pick Water, you have to use three Water-type Pokémon, it's kind of like the Battle Tower, but it restricts you to a certain type. This does remind me a bit of the Pokémon World Tournament from Black 2 & White 2, combined with the Battle Tower, I might show that off at some point.
I liked going through with a different team instead of my usual team members, and I found that Alakazam, Lycanroc, Scizor, Talonflame, and Kingdra filled in for the team very well, and Venusaur was there for its Gigantamax form, and I swapped out Lycanroc for Urshifu when doing this fight just to demonstrate Urshifu's Gigantamax Form. There were some Pokémon I did consider for my team during the Isle of Armor, while I did use Starmie, Klefki, and Lurantis temporarily, they did very well on the team, and I did consider Mienshao for the final team instead of Kingdra, but I ended up deciding on Kingdra, because I like having a Water-type Pokémon on my team, but otherwise, I did like how this DLC brought back some Pokémon that were previously unavailable in the base game.
