Pokémon Sword Playthrough 41: Dynamax Problems
1We learn from Sonia that there is some trouble in Turrfield, so we head off there to help out Milo with the Dynamax Pokémon, alongside Hop and Piers. This must be the work of those weirdos, as more problems are happening all around Galar.
As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description
If you return to Stow-on-Side and talk to the guy at the Bargain Shop, you will receive a Beast Ball, I didn't realize it was that guy, because I wanted to check the daily bargain. To those of you that have not played a Gen 7 game, Beast Balls are special Poké Balls that have an increased catch chance on Ultra Beasts, but have a lower catch rate on regular Pokémon, it's just there if you want to have a Pokémon caught in a Beast Ball.
If you visit Galar Mine and talk to Oleana, you will receive Chairman Rose's Rare League Card, this can be very obscure, as I did not know about this until very recently.
Now onto the plot, and we learn that a Pokémon had Dynamaxed in Turrfield Stadium, and I assist Hop, Piers, and Milo in taking on the Dynamaxed Pokémon.
Our first opponent is Tsareena, its moves are Power Whip, High Jump Kick, Play Rough, and Zen Headbutt, and if it uses Max Overgrowth, this will boost its power even more from Grassy Terrain. As for your teammates, Hop has his starter, Piers will use his Obstagoon, and Milo has Flapple if you are playing Sword, or Appletun if you are playing Shield. Hop will always Dynamax his starter at the first opportunity, but if Hop's starter faints on the first turn, Milo will Gigantamax his Flapple or Appletun, and another thing to note is that Piers will not Dynamax his Obstagoon.
Now onto Flapple's Gigantamax form, any of Flapple's Grass-type moves will turn into G-Max Tartness, which reduces the evasiveness of its target, so it's like an offensive Sweet Scent, and for Appletun's Gigantamax form, its Grass-type moves become G-Max Sweetness, which heals all status conditions of allies. Unless Hop has Cinderace, I would recommend having a Fire, Flying, or Poison-type on your team and Dynamax so that you can stand a good chance against Tsareena.
After that, we learn that there is trouble in both Hulbury and Motostoke Stadiums, and starting with Hulbury, we take on a Dynamaxed Gyarados, which knows Waterfall, Stone Edge, Crunch, and Avalanche, and the rain from its Max Geyser will make its Water-type moves more powerful. This time, we team up with Nessa and her Drednaw, which has Rock Tomb to help us out, and she can Gigantamax her Drednaw. If you brought an Electric-type Pokémon with you, this will make quick work of Gyarados.
In Hulbury, if you visit the Seafood Restaurant, you can help the chef with delivering food to the residents in Hulbury, after you have completed the tasks, you will be rewarded with a Lucky Egg, this item increases the amount of experience earned in battle. Near the lighthouse, you can find a group of Pokémon known as the Maximizers, the band members being Obstagoon, Rillaboom, and two Toxtricity, if you say yes to the guy twice, you are forced to sit through the credits again, as you cannot skip them.
Next is Motostoke Stadium, this time we team up with Kabu and his Centiskorch against a Dynamaxed Torkoal, with Lava Plume, Earthquake, Body Press, and Iron Tail. Torkoal can boost its Defenses with Max Quake and Max Steelspike, so make sure you have a good Water, Rock, or Ground-type ready, as Torkoal is very defensive. Kabu can Gigantamax his Centiskorch, and G-Max Centiferno can help weaken Torkoal a bit.
If you talk to the Ball Guy at Motostoke, he will give you his Rare League Card, but only if you have become champion, and it is a mystery as to who the Ball Guy really is, but he is like a mascot of some sort, or if he is male or female. You do get Rare League Cards from each Gym Leader for helping them out, which does reveal some secrets about them, and some later ones do reveal the truth behind each Gym Leader.
