Sordward Hammerlocke Energy Plant Battle (Pokemon Sword only)

• Sirfetch’d (Lv.64), Bisharp (Lv.64), Doublade (Lv.64), and Golisopod (Lv.64)

You will face the same pokemon team Sordward had in your first battle with him except with increased levels. Sordward starts again with his Sirfetch’d, a pure fighting type. If you have Cinderace with Bounce, use it to immediately knock out Sirfetch’d. You can also send a flying, psychic, or fairy type pokemon to deal with it.

Once defeated, Sordward will choose between a Doublade or a Bisharp. Send a pokemon with ground type, fire type, dark type, or ghost type moves to defeat Doublade. If he chooses a Bisharp, use a pokemon with fighting, fairy, ground, or fire type moves. Golisopod is still Sordward’s last pokemon. You can stay with your Cinderace and use a strong fire type move or send another pokemon with powerful grass type, flying type, or rock type moves.
