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.

Diglett & Wooper

Diglett and Wooper are two common Pokémon with very uncommon abilities — Diglett can have the Arena Trap ability, which prevents Pokemon from fleeing battle. Wooper can have the Damp ability, which prevents Pokemon from using Self-Destruct.

Both of these abilities are absolutely essential for capturing certain Pokémon –Diglett can prevent Wimpod from retreating, and Wooper can stop Weezing from exploding.

  • How To Catch: Diglett and Wooper are common Pokemon in the Wild Area. Their evolved forms, Digtrio and Quagsire, are also pretty common.

Lanturn

Lanturn is a fishy deep-sea Pokémon with a unique ability — having a Lanturn with the Illuminate ability on your team increases wild spawns. You’ll see way more “!” Pokémon while exploring grass, making Lanturn a great Pokemon when you go hunting for rares.

  • How To Catch: Find him in the waters around the Lake of Outrage. You’ll have to fish!
