How to defeat Hassel of the Elite Four in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Hassel will be using five Pokémon against you. They are all Dragon-type Pokémon, so they will have plenty of resistances. You will want to make sure you save and give your Pokémon any item they need to recover before challenging Hassel.

Hassel’s first Pokémon

The first Pokémon will be Noivern, a Dragon and Flying-type. It will be weak against Ice, Rock, Dragon, and Fairy-type moves, but it is resistant to Fire, Water, Grass, Fighting, and Bug-type attacks.

Hassel’s second Pokémon

The next Pokémon will be Haxorus, a pure Dragon-type Pokémon. It will be weak against Ice, Dragon, and Fairy-type moves but is resistant against Fire, Water, Electric, and Grass-type attacks.

Hassel’s third Pokémon

The next Pokémon Hassel uses a Flapple, a Dragon, and Grass-type. It will be weak against Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug, Dragon, and Fairy-type moves, but it is resistant against Water, Electric, Grass, and Ground-type attacks.

Hassel’s fourth Pokémon

The fourth Pokémon is Dragalge, a Dragon and Poison-type. It will be weak against Ice, Ground, Psychic, and Dragon-type moves, but it is resistant against Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, Poison, and Bug-type moves.

Hassels final Pokémon

The final Pokémon Hassel uses Baxcalibur, a Dragon and Ice-type Pokémon. It will be weak against Fighting, Rock, Dragon, Steel, and Fairy-type moves, but it will be resistant against Water, Electric, and Grass-type attacks. However, Hassel uses the Dragon Tera transformation it, so it will only be weak against Ice, Dragon, and Fairy-type attacks, and it is resistant against Fire, Water, Electric, and Grass-type moves.

Upon defeating Hassel, you will have completed the Elite Four challenge, but you have one final test to complete to finish Victory Road.
