Pancham the Courier Walkthrough

  1. Bring a Water or Fighting-type Pokemon
  2. Defeat Dolean

Bring a Water or Fighting-type Pokemon

Dolean
Water and Fighting are the common weaknesses of Dolean's team. Consider bringing Pokemon that can use both types of moves. However, keep in mind that he also has an Abomasnow, a Grass type that can deal heavy damage to any Water type you bring, especially if they don’t have a secondary type that cancels out the weakness.

The side mission also features a multi-battle where Andi teams up with you to defeat Dolean. She wouldn't be too much of a help, so you can focus on your own offenses.

Moveset Guide

Heracross and Gyarados are Recommended

Dolean Fight

Heracross is a great Pokemon to consider because of its typing. It has a strong advantage against both Abomasnow and Aggron, and it isn't weak to Hippowdon.

It can also learn a variety of Fighting-type moves and Bullet Seed to target Hippowdon’s Grass weakness. You can get a Heracross as early as Main Mission 5 in the A Use for an Evolution Stone! side mission, where you trade a Pikachu for one.

Gyarados can also serve as a strong alternative. It can target Aggron and Hippowdon’s weakness to Water, and Abomasnow’s weakness to Flying. It’s also immune to Ground moves thanks to its Flying typing. Just be careful starting with it, since Aggron can hit its weakness to Rock!

Defeat Dolean

Level 52
Abomasnow ImageAbomasnow

Hippowdon ImageHippowdon
Level 52

Lead with Heracross and hit Aggron with any strong Fighting-type move such as Close Combat. Do the same when Abomasnow enters next, or hit it with a Bug-type move such as Megahorn.

You can switch to Gyarados when Dolean sends out Hippowdon and hit it with any powerful Water-type move such as Waterfall. Just don’t Mega Evolve Gyarados, as that removes its Flying typing and makes it vulnerable to Ground-type moves.

Lure Dolean's Pokemon Toward You

Lure Dolean

As mentioned above, Andi will offer to help you in this fight, but both her Pancham and Carbink are quite fragile.

Try to lure Dolean’s Pokemon toward yours to keep them safe during battle. While it’s not required to keep her team healthy, their support can help you finish the fight faster, especially Pancham, since it can target some of Dolean’s weaknesses.
