Pokemon Sword and Shield - Allister Champion Cup (Wyndon) Guide

Guide for Wyndon Champion Cup Finals Stage (Allister)

The Wyndon Champion Cup is the pokemon league in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. The trainer who wins the semifinals proceeds to the finals stage to again face the Galar gym leaders, including Allister.

Recommended Pokemon

Allister replaces Bea in the champion cup if you’re playing Shield. He made some adjustments to his team with Galarian Yamask and Mimikyu replaced by Dusknoir and Chandelure. His team consists of three four ghost types and two dual types. Luckily, Chandelure and Gengar’s secondary type share a weakness to ground type moves. The rest can be dealt with by using a dark type of your choice.

Here are the suggested Pokemon to use against Allister’s team:

• Dark: Thievul, Morgrem, Obstagoon
• Ground: Dugtrio, Flygon
• Water: Inteleon

Allister Finals Stage Battle

• Dusknoir (Lv. 52), Chandelure (Lv. 52), Polteageist (Lv. 53), Cursola (Lv. 53), Gengar (Lv. 54)

Allister sends out Dusknoir, a Pokemon that has a stellar defense and special defense. Bring a high-level dark type like Thievul or Obstagoon. By now, your Pokemon should have learned moves like Nasty Plot or Hone Claws to buff your offensive stat. If you’re having trouble racking up those buffs, use a status move like Thunder Wave before sending out your dark type to buy some time. If you don’t have one of those moves, you’re better off buying stacks of X Attack or X Sp. Atk to power up. After getting the needed boosts, use the corresponding move on each of the ghost types Allister uses. If you have stacked enough boosts, you might not even need to switch out to deal with Chandelure and Gengar. When he sends out Gengar, use dynamax and unleash a Max Darkness.
