How to beat Kieran in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC
The Pokemon CompanyLooking to take down Kieran in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet? Well for that you’ll need to know all about his team and the best counters to use.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero introduced the character of Kieran, who takes a dark turn after the events of The Teal Mask.
In The Indigo Disk, he has a brand-new look and attitude to match, now focusing on strength above all else.
Once you’ve taken down Blueberry Academy’s Elite Four, it’s time to take on Kieran, the League Champion.
Kieran’s team in The Indigo Disk DLC
Kieran’s team is as follows:
| Pokemon | Type | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Dragonite | Dragon/Flying | 80 |
| Politoed | Water | 80 |
| Porygon-Z | Normal | 81 |
| Grimmsnarl | Dark/Fairy | 81 |
| Incineroar | Fire/Dark | 81 |
| Hydrapple | Grass/Dragon (Fighting Tera Type) | 82 |
How to defeat BB League Champion Kieran in The Indigo Disk
This is a double battle like the rest of Blueberry Academy’s battles.
Kieran doesn’t focus on a specific type, and his Pokemon have moves to counter their weaknesses. However, there are some things to focus on when building a team to fight him.
Several of his team members have weaknesses to Rock, Fighting, and Fairy-type moves, so bring Pokemon that can take advantage of those.
Kieran’s Politoed was a Wacan Berry to half the damage of the first Electric move it’s hit with. His Grimmsnarl has a Focus Sash, so you can’t take it out in one hit.
Note that Kieran has special dialogue if you bring Ogerpon into battle. If you want to get that, be sure to choose her mask based on what you need to fill any gaps in your team.
After defeating Kieran, you’ll become the new BB League Champion and receive a Master Ball.
