Pokémon Sword & Shield: How To Find & Evolve Axew Into Haxorus

Axew is one of the many powerful Dragon-type Pokémon available in Sword & Shield. It comes from the fifth generation, and is the signature Pokémon of Gym Leader Iris. It also happens to be one of the Pokémon Galar Champion Leon uses. With that in mind, the best way to fight a Dragon-type is with a Dragon-type. Here's how to add an Axew to your team.

Where To Find Axew In Sword & Shield

Trainers looking to find Axew can look in the appropriately-named Axew's Eye in the Wild Area. They can be overworld spawns in several types of weather there. Hammerlocke Hills and Route 6 will also spawn the occasional Axew, but at a much lower rate.

How To Evolve Axew Into Haxorus

Axew evolves into Fraxure at level 38 and then Haxorus at level 48. The process is slow, however, so be prepared to have the rest of your team carry Axew through the mid-game.

What Haxorus Does In Battle

Haxorus has great physical power, and Trainers looking to take advantage of it have a variety of moves to choose from. Dragon Claw is a necessity, but Smogon offers choices from other types. Moves like Earthquake, Poison Jab, or Iron Tail can help the axe-faced dragon fend off Fairy and Steel-types. Finally, Dragon Dance can help raise Haxorus' Speed to keep up with faster foes.
