Pokemon Sword and Shield: How to catch the Swords of Justice

Catching Terrakion

Ah, Terrakion, the muscle of the Swords of Justice. You have to be pretty imposing to be considered the muscle of the group whose main purpose is to defend Pokemon from human hordes but Terrakion looks like he fits the bill well. To find him, head out to the Lakeside Cave. You can find tracks outside the cave as well, but honestly, you shouldn’t have to as so many spawn in the cave you can probably get them all in about three minutes if you keep your eyes open.

Once you’ve managed to track down the footprints (and kudos to Terrakion for leaving footprints in a rock floored cave) head back to Sonia so she can scan it and then hop right back in the cave. Near the pillar in the back, Terrakion, the massive Rock/Fighting-type will be hanging out. This is the same spot, for the record, that I mentioned in my Spiritomb article was a great place to just stand around and get chatty is. But our focus now is on the big ol’ rock bull.

Terrakion might give some people the biggest run for their money because the combination of Rock and Fighting cancel out quite a few weaknesses. Not to act like I’m your caddy but something with Psychic or Flying attacks served me well here.

After that, congrats, you found the three Pokemon Sonia was looking for! She’ll thank you, give you a prize and then be on her way, taking her Yamper away and…curiously leaving a Beldum hanging out in the kitchen doing absolutely nothing. You can’t do anything with it, there’s just a Beldum there. Don’t worry about it.

Anyways, you caught all three, right? You’re done? Nope. See, the Swords of Justice were inspired by the Three Musketeers and, if you’ve ever read the book, there are not three main Muskateers, there’s four. The D’Artagnan of the group is the only one remaining, Keldeo.
