On the way to the Rock Badge of Pokémon Sword and Shield in this 13th part of our complete walkthrough.

Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Shield:  Walkthrough part 13, from Ballonlea to Circhester

First of all, go back to Hammerlocke with Opal (this is done automatically).

Go to the city center to find Bede. Opal will fall "under the spell" of this child, so that he can succeed her as Fairy Champion.

Opal understood that Bede had been tricked by Oleana (the vice president). So she'll want to help him take his revenge.

It is now time to travel to Circhester via Route 7.

To do this, go to the far right of the city.

On the way, you'll come across Sonia. A huge noise will be heard again. This time, the noise comes from the Hammerlocke Stadium. The situation is serious: the reactor under the stadium seems to have been hit and the Pokémon can therefore Dynamax.

Anyway, you still have to go on to Route 7 and you let Sonia solve this mystery.

Gym Mission

A little more complex than the others, it will be necessary to be careful during this test. Equipped with a trap detector (pits in the ground) you'll need to cross the different rooms without falling. Every time you approach a trap, the joy-cons vibrate and the waves expand. Be careful, the third and last room is in the fog.
