Navigate the Circhester Stadium (Ice) in pokemon sword and shield. Learn trainer weaknesses and how to get past pitfalls and fog.
Walkthrough
- 1Gym Trainer Lewis: Battle Lewis who uses a Level 38 Snom (Ice/Bug). Snom takes 4x damage from Fire and Rock, and 2x from Flying and Steel.
- 2Navigating the First Area: After defeating Lewis, go left from the platform to the wall, then head north close to the wall. Near the top-left corner, turn right at the earliest opportunity to reach the exit. This reveals the pitfalls.
- 3Navigating the Second Area: Imagine the floor is made of square tiles. From the entrance, walk forward 5 square tiles, past the second pair of rocks but not the third. Head directly west until you bump into the rock next to the wall. Go around the top of this rock, follow the wall north to another rock, then walk onto the solid platform ahead.
- 4Gym Trainer Liana: You can battle Liana, who uses a Level 38 Cloyster (Water/Ice). Cloyster is weak to Grass, Electric, Rock, and Fighting. Be wary of its Shell Smash. Electric-types, especially special attackers, are effective due to its low Special Defence.
- 5Continuing Past Liana: If you fought Liana, head north from her position. Start from the top-right corner of her platform, walk 2 square tiles north, then 3 square tiles east to the next solid platform. Stop at the corner.
- 6Skipping Liana: If you plan to skip Liana, head east from the bottom-right corner of her platform for 3 square tiles, then south for 2 square tiles, then east for 2 square tiles. Head north towards the next solid platform, but stop before reaching it to avoid the trainer.
- 7Navigating Past the Trainer: To skip the trainer, if coming from the west (after Liana), go to the bottom-left corner of the platform. Wait for the trainer to look left, then quickly walk east. If coming from the south (skipping Liana), wait for the trainer to look left, then step onto the platform and go east.
- 8Gym Trainer Alexander: Battle Alexander, who uses a Level 39 Beartic (Ice). Beartic knows Swagger.
- 9Continuing Past Alexander: Head east from Alexander's platform. Go east 1 square, then up 1 square, positioning yourself below a rock with a 1-square gap between you and Alexander. Head east towards the wall.
- 10Navigating to the Exit: Head north towards the rock in the top-right corner. From the bottom of this rock, head west until you bump into the next rock. Go up, then continue west to reach the exit.
- 11Navigating the Third Area (Fog): This section has thick fog. Rely on your trap detector. From the entrance, you can go left or right.
- 12Left Path (Fog): Stand towards the left of the entrance. Go up following the first rock on the left. After the rock ends, walk 2 squares left, 1 square up, and 1 square left until you touch the wall. Follow the wall north until you bump into a rock. Go right 1 square and up 2 squares to the next platform.
- 13Right Path (Fog): Stand towards the right of the entrance. Go forward and turn right as early as possible, heading towards the wall. Follow the wall up, stopping when you pass the rocks on the left. Go left, then head up towards the next platform as soon as you can.
- 14Navigating the Final Platform: You can follow the platform north along the west side, but there's a trainer at the far end. To avoid the trainer, stand 1 square above the line between the two vertical platforms. When the trainer looks left, dash east. Alternatively, you can battle the trainer.
- 15Gym Trainer Micah: Battle Micah, who uses a Level 39 Avalugg (Ice).
Tips
- Snom is weak to Fire and Rock-type attacks (4x damage).
- Cloyster's Shell Smash lowers its defenses but boosts its offense and Speed. Electric-type special attackers are highly effective.
- Beartic knows Swagger, which can confuse your Pokémon.
- The final section has heavy fog, making navigation difficult. Use your trap detector.
- When avoiding the trainer on the final platform, timing your dash east when they look away is key.
