Learn how to defeat Rider Eshan in Round 1 of Pokémon Colosseum with this expert walkthrough. Get tips and strategies to overcome this early challenge and progress in your journey.

Alright, let's get you ready to take on Rider Eshan in the first round! This is your first real test, so pay attention. You'll be facing him in the Outskirt Stand area, which is pretty straightforward. He's got a couple of Pokémon that might give you trouble if you're not prepared, but we'll get you through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the Outskirt Stand. You'll find Rider Eshan waiting for you there.
  2. 2
    You'll need a solid team to face him. A good starter combo would be your Cyndaquil and a Pokémon that can handle his Ground-type or Electric-type weaknesses. If you snagged a Makuhita early on, it can be a great physical attacker against his team.
  3. 3
    Rider Eshan's main Pokémon are usually a Sandshrew and a Geodude. Sandshrew is weak to Water and Grass, while Geodude is weak to Water, Grass, and Ice. Your Cyndaquil's Fire attacks won't be super effective here, but its speed can still be useful.
  4. 4
    Focus on using Pokémon that have type advantages. A Water-type move from your Lombre (if you've snagged one) or a Grass-type move from a Chikorita (if you chose it) will make quick work of both his Pokémon.
  5. 5
    If you don't have those types, a strong Normal-type or Fighting-type Pokémon can still do decent damage. Just be prepared for a bit of a grind.
  6. 6
    Remember to heal your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center in Phenac City before heading into this battle if you're low on health.
Tips
  • Don't underestimate Rider Eshan! Even though it's Round 1, he can still knock out your Pokémon if you're not careful.
  • Pay attention to your Pokémon's health. Use Potions when needed, and don't be afraid to switch out a Pokémon if it's about to faint.
  • If you're struggling, consider leveling up your Pokémon a bit more. Sometimes an extra level or two makes all the difference.
  • The Snag Machine is not available in this battle, so you won't be snagging any of Eshan's Pokémon. Focus on winning the battle!

After defeating Rider Eshan, you'll be able to progress further in the Outskirt Stand and continue your journey towards Phenac City. You'll also earn some P$ for your victory!
