Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Challenge Gym Trainer Ian, who has a Level 31 Stufful and a Level 32 Bewear. Both are Normal/Fighting-type and weak to Fighting, Flying, Psychic, and Fairy.
  2. 2
    Past Ian, a teleport pad on the right allows you to exit the Gym. Continue south to the next tea cup segment.
  3. 3
    Let the tea cup fall without input to pass through a gap between steps and a boxing glove. If you spin left at the start, you may gain momentum to reach a boxing glove that sends you flying up; spin right to proceed.
  4. 4
    At the bottom, a boxing glove sends you up. Spin right to hit the next glove, then repeat for the third.
  5. 5
    After falling for 3-4 seconds, spin left to enter a gap. If you miss, a glove will send you back up to try again.
  6. 6
    You will arrive at another buffer area with Gym Trainer Claire. She has a Level 32 Galarian Farfetch'd, a pure Fighting-type weak to Flying, Psychic, or Fairy. Note that it can use Detect to block one attack.
  7. 7
    In the final segment, steps will push you right. As you fall, spin left. If you miss, a glove on the right sends you up, followed by a glove pointing down. Spin left into the nearby glove, then spin left again while flying.
  8. 8
    You will fall a fair distance towards a glove that propels you up. Spin right and follow the steps. If you gain momentum, you should clear a middle gap. Gloves on the far right will push you to the exit.
  9. 9
    Proceed forward to challenge Gym Trainer Simon, who has a Level 33 Hitmonlee and a Level 33 Hitmonchan. Both are Fighting-types. Hitmonchan has Mach Punch and Bullet Punch, which often go first.
  10. 10
    Unless you wish to ride the tea cups again, go up the steps to end the Gym mission and run through the entrance tunnel to face the Fighting-type Gym Leader, Bea.
  11. 11
    Gym Leader Bea's Pokémon:
    • Level 34 Hitmontop (Fighting): Can use Counter and Quick Attack.
  12. 12
    Level 34 Pangoro (Fighting/Dark): Weak to Fairy (4x damage), Flying, and Fighting (2x damage). Avoid Psychic-types.
  13. 13
    Level 35 Sirfetch’d (Fighting): Can use Detect and Swords Dance.
  14. 14
    Level 36 Machamp (Fighting): Gigantamaxes on the first turn. Can use Max Darkness. Weak to Flying or Fairy.
  15. 15
    Defeat Bea's Pokémon to receive the Fighting Badge, TM42 Revenge, and a Fighting Uniform. This is your fourth badge.
  16. 16
    Exit the stadium back to Stow-on-Side.
Tips
  • Against Ian's Stufful and Bewear, use Fighting, Flying, Psychic, or Fairy-type attacks.
  • Claire's Galarian Farfetch'd is weak to Flying, Psychic, or Fairy-type attacks.
  • Simon's Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are weak to Fighting-type attacks. Be wary of their priority moves like Mach Punch and Bullet Punch.
  • Bea's Hitmontop can retaliate with Counter, so be careful with powerful physical attacks.
  • Bea's Pangoro is weak to Fairy-type attacks due to its Dark typing.
  • Bea's Sirfetch'd can boost its Attack with Swords Dance.
  • Bea's Gigantamax Machamp is a significant threat; focus on knocking it out quickly with Flying or Fairy-type moves.
