This is Part 2 of our complete walktrough for Pokémon Sword and Shield. It's time to go in search of the Pokédex, and face your first trainers!

Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Shield: Walkthrough Part 2, From Postwick to Wedgehurst

Join Hop on Route 1. Your next stop is the Wedgehurst Laboratory — the large purple-roofed house in the distance.

We'd first recommend practising a little in the tall grass of Route 1, and capture some new Pokémon. You now have five Poké Balls.

You can encounter:

  • Nickit
  • Rookidee
  • Wooloo
  • Skwovet
Pokémon Sword and Shield

By taking the first path to the right of Route 1, you will find:

  • a Potion

Continue around the path a little further to find:

  • 2 Paralyze Heal

Arriving in Wedgehurst

The city is quite large. The first building you will see is the Station. You're unable to travel at the moment, although you'll find a Poké Mart inside. Stock up on Potions and take a few Revives if you can afford it, as they will come in useful.

Continue to the east of Wedgehurst. There's nothing interesting in the first house. The second house is the Laboratory, where Leon is waiting for you.

He will introduce you to Sonia, Professor Magnolia's assistant, and her loyal Yamper.

Sonia will give you access to the Pokédex on your Rotom Phone.

You must now inform the Professor that you have received her Pokédex. She lives at the end of Route 2.

When you leave the Laboratory, a man will give you a Potion.

Head north of Wedgehurst. Hop will be waiting for you, and will introduce you to Pokémon Centers. Take the opportunity to heal your team before continuing on Route 2.

In this Center, you will also find:

  • The man on the left who allows you to change the name of your Pokémon. He also serves as the Move Tutor, allowing you to forget or relearn moves.
  • A Poké Mart is found on the right of the Center.
  • A Rotomi (PC) for storing Pokémon and other features taught later.

When you leave the Center, you can talk to an 'Astrologer' on the right. By giving her your date of birth, she will let you know that you will soon find a Legendary Pokémon.

Pokémon Sword and Shield

You will also find the following in Wedgehurst:

  • A Merchant selling Berries
  • A Clothing Store
  • In the bushes to the top left, near the Clothing Store, you'll find a Poké Doll.

You'll run into Hop, who will explain what the Gym Challenge is all about. To participate, you need a Recommendation Letter.

As you continue along the road, remember to recover the Revive hidden behind the rock. It's simple: every time something shines on the ground, it's a hidden item.

You have arrived at Route 2.

  • Magikarp

You now meet Professor Magnolia. For Leon to recommend you for the Gym Challenge, you will have to prove your strength. Time for another Rival battle with Hop!

Pokémon Trainer Hop

640 Pokédollars

Wooloo Level 6

The Starter with a type weakness against yours Level 8

Rookidee Level 5

Following this fight, Leon will give you the Recommendation Letter.

Both you and Hop will see a kind of shooting star in the sky granting you a Wishing Star. This is a gem with mysterious powers to make your wish come true.

In reality, it is a gem the Professor will use to facilitate Dynamax transformations. She gives you both a Dynamax Band.

Pokémon Sword and Shield

On leaving the Laboratory, Hop teaches us two important techniques:

  • By moving very slowly through tall grass, we can prevent Pokémon from attacking us,
  • On the other hand, by whistling, you can attract a whole bunch of Pokémon — just press down on your Left Stick

Head back to Wedgehurst Station. Hop will challenge you to a Pokémon catching contest between the Laboratory and the Station, but even if you arrive with zero creatures captured, you will still get:

  • TM40 Swift
0
Camille Chabroud
Milkameluna
