Navigate Circhester Stadium's Rock-type challenges in pokemon sword and shield, including trainers Abigail, Kiera, Oliver, and Wendy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After defeating Abigail, proceed left from the platform towards the wall. Head north along the wall. Near the top-left corner, turn right at the earliest opportunity to reach the exit. Touching the exit reveals all previous pitfalls.
  2. 2
    In the second area, imagine the floor is divided into square tiles. From the entrance, walk forward exactly 5 square tiles, passing the second pair of rocks but not the third. Head directly west until you bump into the rock next to the wall. Hug this rock, go around its top, and follow the wall north to another rock. Walk onto the solid platform ahead to face a trainer, or head east to skip her.
  3. 3
    If you battle Gym Trainer Kiera (Crustle, Level 38, Bug/Rock), head north from her position. Starting from the top-right corner of her platform, walk 2 square tiles north, then 3 square tiles east to the next solid platform. Stop at the corner.
  4. 4
    To skip Kiera, start from the bottom-right corner of her platform and go east exactly 3 square tiles, then south exactly 2 square tiles, then east exactly 2 square tiles. Head north towards the next solid platform, but do not step on it if you wish to skip the trainer.
  5. 5
    To skip the trainer after Kiera (if coming from the west), go to the bottom-left corner of the platform. Wait for the trainer to look left, then quickly walk east. If coming from the south (skipping Kiera), wait for the trainer to look left, then step onto the platform and go east.
  6. 6
    After stepping off Gym Trainer Oliver's (Carkol, Level 39, Rock/Fire) solid platform, go east 1 square, then up 1 square. You should be below a rock with a 1-square gap between you and Oliver. Head east towards the wall.
  7. 7
    Next, head north towards the rock in the top-right corner. From the bottom of this rock, head west until you bump into the next rock. Go up, then continue west to reach the exit.
  8. 8
    In the third and final section, a thick fog obscures your vision. Rely on your trap detector. If playing on a Switch Lite, you can still see radio waves.
  9. 9
    To go left from the entrance: Stand left of the entrance, go up following the first rock on the left. After the rock ends, walk 2 squares left, 1 square up, and 1 square left until you touch the wall. Follow the wall north until you bump into a rock. Go right 1 square and up 2 squares to the next platform.
  10. 10
    To go right from the entrance: Stand right of the entrance, go forward and turn right as soon as possible. Keep going towards the wall. Follow the wall up, stopping past the rocks on the left. Go left, then head up towards the next platform.
  11. 11
    To reach the next platform after the fog: Follow the platform north along the west side to avoid a trainer at the far end. Alternatively, stand 1 square above the line between the two vertical platforms. When the trainer (Gym Trainer Wendy, Sudowoodo, Level 39, Rock) is looking left, run up to her, then dash east. You can also fight her head-on.
Tips
  • Gym Trainer Abigail uses a Level 38 Boldore (Rock-type).
  • Gym Trainer Kiera uses a Level 38 Crustle (Bug/Rock-type), which is weak to Water, Rock, and Steel. Crustle is an evolved Dwebble.
  • Gym Trainer Oliver uses a Level 39 Carkol (Rock/Fire-type), which takes 4x damage from Water and Ground, and 2x damage from Rock and Fighting. Carkol is an evolved Rolycoly.
  • Gym Trainer Wendy uses a Level 39 Sudowoodo (Rock-type), which evolved from Bonsly.
  • The second area's tile-based navigation can be tricky; visualizing the grid is key.
  • In the foggy third section, careful movement and using the trap detector are crucial.
