Defeat Mustard in pokemon sword and shield's Isle of Armor DLC. Rematch him daily for rewards and learn his team's weaknesses.

Mustard is the strongest trainer you'll encounter in the Isle of Armor DLC for pokemon sword and shield. He has a varied and powerful team that requires careful strategy to overcome.

Mustard's Pokémon Team:

  • Mienshao (Level 73, Fighting)
  • Luxray (Level 73, Electric)
  • Lycanroc (Midday) (Level 75, Rock)
  • Corviknight (Level 74, Flying/Steel)
  • Kommo-o (Level 75, Dragon/Fighting)
  • Urshifu (Level 75, Fighting/Dark or Fighting/Water, Gigantamaxed) - Depends on which tower you cleared.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Mienshao: This Pokémon often uses Fake Out to flinch on turn one. It can also use Close Combat or U-Turn. Flying, Psychic, or Fairy-types are recommended. Ghost-types can nullify Fake Out and Close Combat.
  2. 2
    Luxray: This is likely Mustard's weakest Pokémon. It has Intimidate to lower Attack and uses moves like Wild Charge, Psychic Fangs, and Play Rough. Ground-types are ideal, and Special Attackers may also fare well.
  3. 3
    Midday Lycanroc: This Pokémon uses Stone Edge and Accelerock. It can also set up Stealth Rock and surprise Fighting-types with Play Rough. Ground and Steel-types are recommended as they take reduced damage from Stone Edge.
  4. 4
    Corviknight: This Pokémon often plays a support role, setting up Light Screen to weaken special attacks. It can also use Body Press, Iron Head, and Brave Bird. Fire or Electric-type special attackers are best used before Light Screen is active.
  5. 5
    Kommo-o: This is a dangerous foe that can use Clangorous Soul to boost its stats at the cost of HP. It uses Clanging Scales, Aura Sphere, and Flash Cannon. Flying or Psychic-types are recommended. Fairy-types can work if they can withstand a hit.
  6. 6
    Urshifu: Mustard's final Pokémon is his Urshifu, which will Gigantamax. If you cleared the Tower of Waters, you will face the Single-Strike Style (Fighting/Dark). If you cleared the Tower of Darkness, you will face the Rapid-Strike Style (Fighting/Water).
    • Single-Strike Style Urshifu: Uses Dark, Fighting, Poison, and Steel-type moves. Fairy-types are highly effective but can be hurt by Poison and Steel moves. If your Fairy-type is fragile, consider a Flying or Fighting-type.
  7. 7
    Rapid-Strike Style Urshifu: Uses Water, Fighting, Poison, and Steel-type moves. Electric, Flying, or Psychic-types are safe choices. Fairy and Grass-types can also work but may take super-effective damage.
  • Upon defeating Mustard, you will receive Mustard’s Rare League Card.
  • After this, you can rematch Mustard once per day by speaking to him in his room.
Tips
  • Pay attention to which Urshifu style Mustard uses, as its typing will determine the best counter-strategy.
  • Mustard's team is generally strong, so ensure your Pokémon are well-leveled and have good type coverage.
  • Mustard hints at future content, likely the Galarian Star Tournament, after you defeat him.
