Pokémon Sword Playthrough 34: Wyndon Tour
10Here we are, at long last, we have arrived at Wyndon, which is a very large city which will host the Champion Cup. This is supposed to be based on London, because you have a giant Ferris Wheel, which is based on the London Eye, and many other things. This will be one huge tour around Wyndon.
As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description
The time has come, the final team is revealed at long last. Out of the Pokémon on my team, I did have Sirfetch'd and Duraludon planned for my team before release, and I wanted to give Coalossal a try, because it does give some type variety, and Toxtricity is one of my favourite Pokémon introduced in this game, so decided to use it for then. As for Flapple, it wasn't originally going to be on the final team, but since I had two Pokémon with a 4x weakness to Ground, I needed a Grass-type to fill in my team, so I ended up going with Flapple, and even though I have two Dragon-types on my team, the good thing is that Duraludon does not have the same weaknesses as Flapple, and I can use Flapple as a Grass-type, while Duraludon is my Steel-type, and that I wanted to use new Pokémon for this playthrough, even though I did use some of my old favourites during the adventure, and a bunch of temporary team members, this was so that I don't go over the level of the next Gym Leader. As for my starter, Inteleon has proven to be really good in battle thanks to its high Speed and Special Attack, I do like all three of the Galar starters, and I do like Inteleon's design.
Now to go over Wyndon, it is a very large city based on London, and it was designed by Chairman Rose, as the hotel is called Rose of the Rondelands, and the tall tower is known as Rose Tower, so I can see why this town is very special to the chairman. I like the music for this city, one of my favourites in the game.
It is not without some Pokémon to go over, first up is an in-game trade, where you can trade a Frosmoth for Duraludon, this is the easiest way to get Duraludon to save you the time of finding that 1% encounter, but to get Frosmoth, it has to be evolved from Snom through friendship at night, you cannot catch a wild Frosmoth outside of the Max Raid Battles.
Now is the right time go over Rotom, because there is one Trainer in a house that will challenge you with three different Rotom forms, and to get Rotom, it is found at Lake of Outrage in the Wild Area as a 2% encounter in rainy weather. You will get a Rotom Catalog, which will allow you to change Rotom's form at will, because in previous games, you had to go to certain areas to change the form.
The nice thing about the Rotom forms is that it will trade off its Ghost-type for another type, so Wash Rotom is Electric/Water, Heat Rotom is Electric/Fire, Mow Rotom is Electric/Grass, Frost Rotom is Electric/Ice, and Fan Rotom is Electric/Flying, and the good thing is that each form get an exclusive move. Wash Rotom learns Hydro Pump, Heat Rotom can get Overheat, Mow Rotom can get Leaf Storm, Frost Rotom learns Blizzard, and Fan Rotom can use Air Slash. Out of all the forms, Wash Rotom is the best out of them all, it is the most popular Rotom form in competitive battling, although Heat Rotom does see some respectable use, specially in VGC Tournaments.
Wyndon does also have some useful items, like an Air Balloon, a one use item that gives you an immunity to Ground-type moves, and will be used up if you get hit by an attack, Black Sludge is like Leftovers where it will restore health for Poison-type Pokémon, but if any other type of Pokémon hold Black Sludge, they will lose HP, so I can see there being a good strategy with Trick while holding Black Sludge to screw over opponents.
There is also a Move Tutor who will teach the ultimate moves, so he will teach Frenzy Plant to Rillaboom, Blast Burn to Cinderace, or Hydro Cannon to Inteleon. Even though it is very powerful, they are Hyper Beam clones, so the turn to recharge is a downside, and neither Rillaboom or Cinderace should use those moves due to their lower Special Attack, while Inteleon can already make use of Snipe Shot, Surf, and Scald for good Special Water-type moves.
In the Pokémon Center near the stadium, they sell some useful TMs, like the Elemental Punches, which are really good coverage move on some Physical attackers, and other moves you can buy include Drain Punch, Solar Blade, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Power Swap, Guard Swap, and Speed Swap. I do not recommend Hyper Beam or Giga Impact, and Solar Blade is an interesting move, it's a Physical Solar Beam, so if you have Drought Torkoal on your team, Solar Blade is nice to have, and this move was once the signature move of Lurantis in Pokémon Sun & Moon, so it is good to see it as a TM as an option for Physical attackers in Sun teams, Shiftry, Leafeon, Gallade, Sirfetch'd, and many others can learn that move.
