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.

Dragapult

An overpowered Pokémon that players are swearing by in competitive matches. Dragapult is a Dragon / Ghost type, so it’s immune to physical damage and comes with an array of killer Dragon-type moves. One of the best around to capture for defeating trainers in the story, or fighting friends through Y-Comm.

  • How To Catch: Catch Dreepy in the Lake of Outrage, then level up to 50 and 60 to get Dragapult. Dreepy are a rare spawn, and might only come out in foggy weather.

Dracovish

A weird amalgam that’s in the running for most popular competitive Pokemon. Dracovish is a champ with some great abilities — it moves faster in Sand Storms, heals when hit with water moves, and it’s bite attacks are naturally 50% stronger. He’s a doozy of a fighter, and a tough one to collect. You’ll need lots of Watts.

  • How To Catch: Collect the Fossilized Fish and Fossilized Drake from the Digger Brothers near the Nursery in the Wild Area. Take the parts to the scientist in Route 6 to revive this Pokémon.

And those are all my recommendations for Pokemon you absolutely need. There are hundreds of Pokémon to catch, and there’s every reason to collect them all — I just think these handy Pokémon should take top priority.
