Gordie Battle Strategy (Sword)

Strategy for defeating Gordie, the Rock-type Gym Leader in Pokémon Sword, including type advantages.

·Multi-source verified (89/89)

Gordie uses Rock-type Pokémon. His team includes a Level 40 Shuckle, a Level 40 Barbaracle, a Level 41 Stonjourner, and a Level 42 Coalossal, which he will Dynamax. Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel-type moves are super effective. Consider using your starter's final evolution if it's Water or Grass. Lucario (Fighting/Steel) or Excadrill (Ground/Steel) are excellent choices. Be wary of Shuckle's high defenses. Focus on hitting those weaknesses hard.
