Pokémon Sword & Shield: 14 Essential Pokémon You Need To Capture | Useful Pokémon Guide

December 13, 2019 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Don’t miss out on these 12 incredibly useful Pokémon in Sword and Shield.

Coalossal

This powerful Fire-type Pokémon has his own unique strengths and weaknesses, but the reason you want to catch / breed one is because of Flame Body. When you’re carrying an egg you’ve collected from the Pokémon Nursery, the egg will hatch faster if one of these Pokémon is in your team.

Look out for a Coalossal with the Flame Body ability. If you don’t have one, start breeding with Ditto!

  • How To Catch: You don’t necessarily need Coalossal — its previous form, Rolycoly, can be found in Route 3: Galar Mine. Catch it and evolve it into Carkol at Level 18 to get Flame Body.

Meowth

Gigantamax Meowth is the best Pokémon for endless money farming thanks to his unique G-Max Move. G-Max Meowth’s Gold Rush attack multiplies your cash reward for the end of each battle by a huge amount. Using this move multiple times can literally max out the amount of money you can earn from a single battle.

  • How To Catch: Unfortunately, G-Max Meowth was only available for a limited time right after release. He’s still available for trade, so check the boards for a chance at getting this Mystery Gift. He might also appear again in the future!
