Pokémon: Sword & Shield

Overview

By

This is the first zone when you arrive on the island. Here, you’ll find the Master Dojo.

Diglett Trainer

You’ll come across a man and his mole while attempting to cross the bridge halfway along this zone. He’ll rope you into rescuing his 150 other "Diglett" IconDiglett, although you do some cool rewards for the effort. For more details, please check our in-depth Diglett Hunt Guide! We made it just for you.

Isle of Armor Marketplace

To the right of the entrance to the Master Dojo, you can find numerous helpful NPCs, who you may be familiar with already. They are the Berry Grocer (sells common berries), Ingredients Seller (sells cooking items for camping) and Watt Trader (exchange Watts for items). They won’t be there at the start though.

Bike Lady

This lady is waiting for you between the Master Dojo and the entrance to the Soothing Wetlands. If you have a "Rotom" IconRotom Bike that can traverse across water, she will provide two new customisation options. Plus the standard options. She’ll also increase your charge speed, if it’s not already at max.

Items

Focus Blast deals devastating Fighting-type special damage. But at 70 Accuracy, it’s often not worth the risk.

Item Location
Max Revive In red flowerbed to the right of Armor Station (when exiting the station).
Sun Stone Just before the bridge, turn left. It’s on the edge of an outcrop of land, near the entrance to Courageous Cavern.

HP Up Continue heading right from the dojo. Next to a tree and boulder at the end of the path.

Berry Trees

Item Location
Pecha Berry, Charti Berry etc. After exiting Armor Station, turn right and head all the way to the end of the narrow area along the shoreline. You’ll find this tree past some tall grass.
Rawst Berry, Green Apricorn etc. Turn left after exiting Armor Station. It’s close by, between two patches of tall grass.
Chesto Berry, Yellow Apricorn etc. Coming from Armor Station, to the right of the rocky hill on the left, before the bridge.
