One of the four trials is conducted by Drayton, the dragon enthusiast. But, before you can even begin to battle Drayton and his Dragon Pok\u00e9mon, you will first need to complete his trial. If you\u2019ve already progressed far enough in The Indigo Disk to unlock the Elite Trials, head to the Polar Plaza all the way in the top left edge of the Terarium. Start the trial by speaking to the NPC next to the Duraludon in the plaza. Drayton lets you participate for free without paying with Blueberry Points (BP). Now you\u2019ve initiated the trial, here\u2019s everything you need to know to successfully pass the test to unlock the battle with Drayton. How to beat Drayton\u2019s Elite Trial in Pok\u00e9mon SV The Indigo Disk DLC When Drayton explains his trial, he offers three key bits of information: You must battle three fellow students. You must use Pok\u00e9mon that were caught in the Terarium. You must catch those Pok\u00e9mon yourself (trades do not count here). In other words, your whole party must be filled with Pok\u00e9mon you caught in the Terarium. Any Pok\u00e9mon you caught before The Indigo Disk or outside of the Terarium will not be eligible to participate. This shouldn\u2019t be an issue if you\u2019ve been catching and training Pok\u00e9mon in the Terarium. But if you haven\u2019t, you need to get out there and catch and train up at least two strong Pok\u00e9mon. The trainers in this trial will all have two level 68 Pok\u00e9mon, so your Pok\u00e9mon should be around that level or higher to win the battles comfortably. The three trainers you must face are Craig, Winter, and Ray, who are all lined up at the battle area of the Polar Plaza. Craig has Rock-type fossil Pok\u00e9mon, Bastiodon and Rampardos. Winter has Ice Pok\u00e9mon, Alolan Sandslash and Dewgong. And Ray had Electric Pok\u00e9mon, Magnezone and Zebstrika. A great Pok\u00e9mon to sweep through these three trainers is a Ground-type Pok\u00e9mon like Excadrill, though this isn\u2019t the only option. I caught one in the Canyon Biome, trained it up with Exp. Candy, and crushed this trial. Excadrill hits all of Craig and Ray\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon for super-effective damage with a Ground-type move like Earthquake or Drill Run. It also destroys Winter\u2019s Alolan Sandslash, so just make sure to bring a partner that can deal with Dewgong like Scrafty. After beating all three trainers, you can then fight Drayton. At this point, you're no longer restricted to using Terarium Pok\u00e9mon, so feel free to switch back to using your favorite 'mons against Drayton. He has a full team of dragons (with the exception of Sceptile), so the easiest way to counter him is with Ice and Fairy Pok\u00e9mon. Beat him and he rewards you with the TM for Dragon Cheer.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Pokemon-Drayton.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071753"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1071753"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071753\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1071804,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071753\/revisions\/1071804"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1071756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1071753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1071753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

One of the four trials is conducted by Drayton, the dragon enthusiast. But, before you can even begin to battle Drayton and his Dragon Pok\u00e9mon, you will first need to complete his trial. If you\u2019ve already progressed far enough in The Indigo Disk to unlock the Elite Trials, head to the Polar Plaza all the way in the top left edge of the Terarium. Start the trial by speaking to the NPC next to the Duraludon in the plaza. Drayton lets you participate for free without paying with Blueberry Points (BP). Now you\u2019ve initiated the trial, here\u2019s everything you need to know to successfully pass the test to unlock the battle with Drayton. How to beat Drayton\u2019s Elite Trial in Pok\u00e9mon SV The Indigo Disk DLC When Drayton explains his trial, he offers three key bits of information: You must battle three fellow students. You must use Pok\u00e9mon that were caught in the Terarium. You must catch those Pok\u00e9mon yourself (trades do not count here). In other words, your whole party must be filled with Pok\u00e9mon you caught in the Terarium. Any Pok\u00e9mon you caught before The Indigo Disk or outside of the Terarium will not be eligible to participate. This shouldn\u2019t be an issue if you\u2019ve been catching and training Pok\u00e9mon in the Terarium. But if you haven\u2019t, you need to get out there and catch and train up at least two strong Pok\u00e9mon. The trainers in this trial will all have two level 68 Pok\u00e9mon, so your Pok\u00e9mon should be around that level or higher to win the battles comfortably. The three trainers you must face are Craig, Winter, and Ray, who are all lined up at the battle area of the Polar Plaza. Craig has Rock-type fossil Pok\u00e9mon, Bastiodon and Rampardos. Winter has Ice Pok\u00e9mon, Alolan Sandslash and Dewgong. And Ray had Electric Pok\u00e9mon, Magnezone and Zebstrika. A great Pok\u00e9mon to sweep through these three trainers is a Ground-type Pok\u00e9mon like Excadrill, though this isn\u2019t the only option. I caught one in the Canyon Biome, trained it up with Exp. Candy, and crushed this trial. Excadrill hits all of Craig and Ray\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon for super-effective damage with a Ground-type move like Earthquake or Drill Run. It also destroys Winter\u2019s Alolan Sandslash, so just make sure to bring a partner that can deal with Dewgong like Scrafty. After beating all three trainers, you can then fight Drayton. At this point, you're no longer restricted to using Terarium Pok\u00e9mon, so feel free to switch back to using your favorite 'mons against Drayton. He has a full team of dragons (with the exception of Sceptile), so the easiest way to counter him is with Ice and Fairy Pok\u00e9mon. Beat him and he rewards you with the TM for Dragon Cheer.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Pokemon-Drayton.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071753"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1071753"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071753\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1071804,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071753\/revisions\/1071804"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1071756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1071753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1071753"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1071753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
