Pokémon Sword And Shield Ballonlea: Gym Answers And Solutions ...

Pokémon Sword and Shield: Ballonlea Gym Mission solution - all the correct answers to Opal's questions

The Ballonlea Gym mission is simple enough - you just need to answer a few quiz questions correctly (like the classic Blaine quiz, if you remember it!), but the questions themselves become a little awkward as the challenge goes on...

Anyway, inside Marnie will turn up and give you her League Card, and there's a girl in an Eevee costume who'll trade you her regular Yamask for your Galar one if you have one spare.

Ballonlea Gym Quiz answers and solutions:

Questions in this gym will come mid-battle, and if you answer correctly your Pokémon's stats will be raised - incorrectly and they'll be lowered!

How to beat Opal, Ballonlea's Fairy-type Gym Leader

Opal asks three more questions during the battle, and she uses Fairy-type Pokémon, but her typings are smart, s there's one quick fix for useful types here! The best options are Steel, Ground, and Poison. She Gigantamaxes her Alcremie, so wait to use your Dynamax until then, and come at it hard with Poison or Steel moves!

Outside, Opal will follow you and offer you the chance to fast travel with her to Hammerlocke, which is worth doing as that's on the way to the next stop on your quest anyway!

That's everything here for now, so continue on to Route 7 via Hammerlocke for the next steps in your quest, or cycle back to our main Pokémon Sword and Shield walkthrough and guide hub for all the other pages we have like this.
