Gordie was probably the first gym leader to give me trouble in Pokemon Sword. He’s exclusive to Sword, his mother Melony take his place in Shield.

His gym trial was probably my least favorite.

You have to figure out this maze, and it got rather annoying.

His Pokemon are all rock type, and since my best Pokemon was fire that wasn’t very good.

And I only had one water type, so I had to use a lot of my B Team.

Most of my Pokemon fell to his last one.

But I waited till the last moment to use my water Pokemon.

While it was a bitter battle, I did enjoy the challenge.
