Top 10 Pokemon You Should Use in Pokemon Sword and Shield

So I was looking through the Pokemon Sword and Shield Pokedex and found some Pokemon I thought were rather interesting. I have so far played through Sword and Shield a couple of times and there are still some Pokemon I don't see people using very often. I’m not sure whether it has to do with favorability or if its because someone thinks a Pokemon is overrated, I don’t know the reasons could be many. One thing I do know is, every Pokemon deserves to get a little love even if people dislike it. To be honest, I may even try and use Pokemon I dislike for the sake of just trying something new. Today I think we should all do the same. That’s why I have compiled a list of 10 Pokemon from Sword and Shield I think everyone should use in an ingame playthrough at least once just for the sake of it. Some Pokemon on this list may surprise you and some may not. Regardless, even if a Pokemon is used a lot, there are still people out there that won’t use it for the sake of not being basic. I’m one of those people. But today, ima throw that pride aside and am going to try some new Pokemon out. So with that being said I think all of us should too. With that being said though, let’s hop into this of Pokemon I think everyone should use at least once in Sword and Shield!

I actually used corviknight, boltund and obstagoon on my first play through. Only one I didn’t complete with was Obstagoon because I switched it for another Pokémon. I didn’t have a haterenne on my team but ended up catching a shiny GMax one. My husband sent me a Galarian Rapidash so I had the psychic/fairy covered by her.

[@jamescorck]

You've listed my Galar team right there. Not counting my starter, I went through the whole game with Boltund, Corviknight, and Obstagoon. I was rarely knocked out. They make a perfect combination.

[@UndernetChara]

I would really recommend Corviknight. He really helped me out a lot in my let's play.

[@kuraraShotai9]

Cufant/Copperajah are *really* good pokemon to have on your team, sure they're only available in the Wild Area but they can be caught after beating Nessa & evolve at level 34. Sheer Force is a guaranteed ability (unless you somehow get the HA Heavy Metal) & can absolutely DESTROY so many opponents throughout your playthrough

[@stnes0228]

I think boltund is a really cool Pokémon, I’m always liking doggo Pokémon

[@bobeddy5991]

I like your choices, but I felt alcremie needed to be here. you get access from it early on, it handles really well with it's defence stat, it looks adorable,and is actually a really good Pokemon as a backup if you don't have any type advantages as it is a bit tanky but a heavy hitter with dazzling gleam and can recover using draining kiss and recover. it also has access to psychic and mystic fire, which takes care of it's weaknesses. overall this pokemon is great and one of my favorites. pair it with polteageist and you have the perfect tea party!

[@johnathonmarquez7676]

I'm currently using Polteageist right now during a playthrough! I highly recommend it! The combination of Shell Smash and stored power is amazing! Obstagoon is on the same team and love it! I F**KING LOVE HATTERENE!!!! I have and used Darmanitan! I managed to get Zen Mode! I started using Cursola, and I do like it, but I eventually switched it to Polteageist

Not me, it did almost no work

[@johnathonmarquez7676]

[@UmbraStarWolf]

I recommend using Orbeetle since its one of the best early bug pokemon with Leavanny and Scolipede. It gets dual screens at level 10 and you get light clay kinda early. It gets calm mind hypnosis psychic bug type STAB as well as Shadow Ball. The design is really deep and great

[@foxywoxy1915]

And it be bulky and fast

[@LeahLovesNature]

Good choices, Mystic! The only thing I'd add is that Boltund's Physical and Special Attack are equal, so you can run it physically with Strong Jaw or specially with Competitive. That makes it even better.

[@JFrombaugh]

I would also add Orbeetle to this list. I wasn’t expecting much from it, but it’s got surprising bulk, its dual screens helped me out in some harder battles, and its Gigantamax form can be caught as early as 3-star Max Raids.

[@dennisweijzen8997]

I used 4 of those. Grapploct, Obstagoon, Corvicknight and Barraskewda. Planned all of them except for Grapploct. Encountered one as a complete surprise. I liked it and caught it. Little did i know it was the shiny one! I realised this when i encountered more on that route. I really enjoyed using it because of how it looks (to me it looks like a little action figure/collectible i used to get in my home country) and it was also a strong addition to my team along with the other ones i already mentioned. To complete the six, i also used cinderace as my starter and the yellow toxtricity. This was one powerfull team!

[@Sakura_Truffle]

Obstagoon with stomping tantrum, Obstruct, double edge, and throat chop with guts and flame orb is amazing and I used it in one of my teams, can recommend but obviously not the only cool set it can use

[@johnathonmarquez7676]

Mine knows Obstruct, Cross Poison, Night Slash, and Cross Chop. Same set up with Guts and Flame Orb

[@mikiwibu]

[@distinctivelyaveragegamer3253]

Polteageist is my current favourite set up mon, shell smash with a focus sash, weak armour and stored power with shadow ball for coverage and you're set to sweep any teams without a priority move

My first play through team had Corviknight and Coalossal (Flame Body though, not Steam Engine rip) along with Rillaboom, Sandaconda (who ended up being one of my favorite Pokémon for some reason?) Frosmoth and Dragapult. And honestly, that team was the team I probably had the most fun with in a long time, seeing how I went off pure design when building the team and had no idea how good they’d actually be.

[@SawyerJamesBurton]

I lucked out and got Clobbopus in a Max Raid before the first gym. Immediately became one of my favorites this gen!

[@sixtales7681]

I really really love boltund because of his origin, which is based on a racing dog; a greyhound, which is when I started to appreciate his design. He's one of my favorite pokemon in sword and shield, and probably now my top electric type now.

[@liliewaternights6073]

I LOVE ALL POKEMON. With Galarian Corsola and Cursola, they are like a coral version of Mimikyu. Like you said, they just want to be loved. My other favorite you mentinoned was Sinistea and Polteageist. It to me is NOT overrated, and it is also pretty cute with a great pool of moves you can teach it. Also, Galarian Darmanitan may be overrated in some books, but to me it is pretty awesome. You can teach it Fire, Ice, Psychic, and Fighting type moves. Bring the Unova and Galarian Darmanitan into one. Anyway, thanks again for the video, MysticUmbreon!!! :) I am going to try and play through with an underrated team and see how it goes.

[@edmg7]

I've only done one playthrough thus far, but here are my thoughts on each of these Pokemon in regards to said playthrough: 10. By the time I saw this Pokemon I already had Falinks and there was no way I was taking it off my team. 9. I REALLY wanted to like this one, but I must have had a bad nature or IVs or something because it could not pull its weight. 8. I didn't want to have too many Galarian forms on the team. Rapidash was guaranteed a spot, and Corsola ended up taking another. 7. I had it the whole game. Easily the most useful member of the team. 6. My starter was Scorbunny. I wasn't going to have two fire types. 5. Had the first form for a bit, but gave up on it when other Pokemon I enjoyed more came up. I have made a competitive one though. 4. Had one for a part of the journey (I did cycle through a few different mons). It was pretty useful. 3. Already had Rapidash and Alcremie. No way was I using 3 Pokemon of the same type on the first playthrough. 2. I was playing Shield and this is a Sword exclusive. 1. Kept pressing B on the first form because I liked that eviolite set. It really came through in some of the tougher gym fights.

So I ended up with Orbeetle, Obstagoon, Cinderace, Flapple, Galvantula and Barraskewda.

I genuinely wish that Clobbopus and Grapploct were Fighting/Water types with the abilities Swift Swim, Scrappy, Mold Breaker, Rain Dish, and/or Guts. That would make them at least a bit better. I like Grapploct, and I think that Clobbopus is adorable. What would make Cursola better is if it got Prankster for an ability and access to Power Trick.

[@TwistedDonners]

I was hesitant about using grimmsnarl but after using one I can say its worth giving a shot

[@poppyfrancis7338]

Boltund isn't just a physical attacker, it's a mixed attacker that can back up both modes with either of its abilities, with strong jaw making Thunder Fang better than wild charge and buffing Crunch and Fire Fang, and while harder to get, Competitive makes Boltund an electric nuke when it gets intimidated

[@matthewroberts198]

I loved Obstagoon and Hatterene on my team. I didn't care that Hatterene had low speed (didn't look it up). It was still a great Pokemon and Obstagoon catapulted into my top 5 of favorite Pokemon all-time (Its a tie for first with Slowpoke)

[@russianvalkyrie2358]

Ok I have to share the Corviknight love. I got one early game first pokemon I caught. I named him Lance. Lance and my hatterine basically carried my whole team. I used lance in nearly every battle. Hes a tank. I expected him to become garbage by the end game but not even close! Now its one of my all time favorite pokemon.

[@JaimeGarcia-oz5fh]

I used Obstagoon and Cursola and they were both really good

[@akenohononiku916]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Polteageist's Shell Smash, Weak Armor, Stored Power combo

[@keithpalacios9417]

How do I get Meltan? Do I have to use Pokemon Go? I heard you also had to go to Fuschia City in Pokemon Let's Go. Is there any other way?

[@earthbit.]

About Boltund, here's another thing to keep in mind that didn't get mentioned: its ability, Strong Jaw, which adds 50% of base power to any biting attacks. In Hammerlocke, I believe, you can find a TM for Thunder Fang, which is a biting move. Its base power is 65. Absolutely give that move to Boltund. If you do, it will receive an extra 32.5 power from its ability, and since it's a STAB move, it'll get another 32.5 on top of that. That means Boltund's Thunder Fang will have a power of 130. Absolutely crazy for a move with 95% accuracy. That fact alone makes Boltund one of the best electric types you could ask for.

[@kirbywolfwings]

I love that 4 of the pokemon I used in my playthrough are here

[@noahpennington2706]

You can also get sinistea as a very rare encounter in the max raid battles at the beginning of the game near the ghost tower

[@jizhouli7178]

My opinions of this list: 10. I just didn't need an fighting type on my team. I don't really care about it that much. I do like it though. 9. I didn't realize until too late that it's stats are insane. I just didn't want to use an ghost type on my team and I don't like polteageist that much. 8. I like obstagoon and used it on my team, but it was horrible. I Believe that I gave it dig/pin missle/night slash/slash, but I'm not sure. 7. Corvidknight was an game changer. I gave it hone claws/brave bird/drill peck/iron head. It was an unintended member on my team and even got into the hall of fame! 6. Coalossal didn't interest me a lot. I don't know how to use it correctly 5. I used toxtricity witch destroyed everything. I runned an punk rock amped form with boomburst/drain punch/overdrive/venoshock 4. This is an identical situation with polteageist. 3. I used hatterene for raihans battle and it destroyed everything until it's duraludon. It was amazing. 2. This is an identical situation with polteageist and barraskewda 1. G-corsola is an shield exclusive and I play sword. I also don't like those pokemon.

I found a clobbopus in a max raid, I love this pokemon.

[@leonwu4189]

Agree with all of them except I don’t really use clobbtapus and also the fossils you have to mine forever to get so I probably won’t use those either

[@dracoventus8898]

My team for Sword (this was my first full play through of Pokémon game and i am not by any means good at this, I’m just in it for fun) Splish the Inteleon, Drudge the Drednaw, Richard the Boltund, Jay the Corviknight, Olloina the Ribombee, and Louis the Lucario

[@frostyyogurt7509]

Hey mystic,could you do a version of a pokemon team but this time your using the coolest looking pokemon in that region,the best ones to use if you want to frame your pokemon hall of fame😂😂😂

[@supermariokid6424]

You saying that’s the tea sis gave me so much respect for you

[@dancesnapple6787]

I know this is a long shot to get an answer, but having had no experience in any kind of meta or competitive play, would it be viable to make a team out of the following pokemon, as going through the generations they would be my final favorites to have on a team. Lucario Charizard Leafeon Metagross Mimikyu Tyrantrum ? How good or how bad would that team work?

[@pinkprincess6136]

I use Bolthund it's really good on my team and I used Galarian Zigzagoon and I used Hatrene too I like it being on my team When I had an Alcreamie then I stopped using it, it is a Hatterene now.

i hated polteageist when it got released on that trailer that announced it and cramorant i believe. I picked up a sinistea and evolved it as a joke and kept it on my team. it was an absolute unit and i never took it off my team and grew onto it.

[@rileyhanson4258]

Both Sinistea’s I caught were authentic. I have been going to the trader in stow in side almost every day to get a chopped pot but have had no luck 😔😂

[@SimonvanTilburg]

Completely agree with this list except Bolton. I just as you don't like it's design but I also don't have a feeling it's that good or fun. I have way more fun with toxitricity

[@johnathonmarquez7676]

I feel like Pincurchin shouldve been on the list! Highly underrated and has a pretty decent move pool and a good hidden ability

[@conorhough5680]

I'd like to see a best region specific team for another region like best hoenn team for alola or something like that
