Defeat Champion Leon in pokemon sword and shield. His team includes a Level 65 Gigantamax Charizard and Pokémon dependent on your starter choice.

Leon is the final trainer you face in the Champion Cup. His Pokémon are significantly higher level than Raihan's, and his team is very balanced. If you are struggling, consider training or catching stronger Pokémon in the Wild Area. You can also add Eternatus to your team.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Leon's first Pokémon is Aegislash (Level 62, Steel/Ghost). It can use King's Shield to protect itself and lower the Attack of Pokémon that use contact moves. Its attacks include STAB Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon, plus Sacred Sword. Fire and Ground-types are recommended.
  2. 2
    Next, he may send out Dragapult (Level 62, Dragon/Ghost). This Pokémon is very fast and hits hard. For STAB, it has Dragon Breath and Shadow Ball. It also has Flamethrower and Thunderbolt for coverage. Dark or Fairy-types are recommended.
  3. 3
    Leon also has Haxorus (Level 63, Dragon). It is slower than Dragapult but inflicts greater damage. It can use Outrage for STAB, Poison Jab to punish Fairy-types, Iron Tail to shatter Ice-types, and Earthquake to wreck Steel-types. Strong Ice or Fairy-types with full health are recommended.
  4. 4
    Leon's next two Pokémon depend on your starter choice:
    • If you picked Grookey, he may send out Seismitoad (Level 64, Water/Ground) and Cinderace (Level 64, Fire). Use your starter (Rillaboom) or any Grass-type against Seismitoad. For Cinderace, use a Water, Ground, or Rock-type.
  5. 5
    If you picked Scorbunny, he may send out Mr. Rime (Level 64, Ice/Psychic) and Inteleon (Level 64, Water). Your starter (Cinderace) or Fire, Rock, Steel, Dark, or Ghost-types are effective against Mr. Rime. Grass-types are recommended against Inteleon, though Electric-types can also work.
  6. 6
    If you picked Sobble, he'll send out Rhyperior (Level 64, Ground/Rock) and Rillaboom (Level 64, Grass). Use your starter (Inteleon) or any strong Grass or Water-type (ideally a special attacker) against Rhyperior. Counter Rillaboom with a Flying or Bug-type.
  7. 7
    Leon's final Pokémon is Charizard (Level 65, Fire/Flying), which he will Gigantamax immediately. Watch out for G-Max Wildfire and Grass, Flying, and Rock-type Max Moves. A strong Water-type is recommended, or a fast Electric-type if you are confident.

After defeating Leon, you will be crowned the Champion of the Galar region. The credits will roll, and you will return to your house in Postwick in free roam (the open-world mode where you move and play without an active mission).

Tips
  • Consider training in the Wild Area to level up your Pokémon before the battle.
  • Eternatus can be a powerful addition to your team for this fight.
