If you’ve defeated her in the Polder Gym, Tessy will be here with a mission for you.

The Goons who stole Tessy’s Swampert are in a clearing here, watching a Feraligatr and a Drapion fight.

Confronting them will set off a chain of boss battles, so be prepared.

When you finish battling the goons, the Feraligatr and the Drapion will team up to beat you.

After that, using a trap provided to them by the Science Society, the Feraligatr suddenly Dynamaxes. And you’ll have to beat it in a Dynamax battle.

It’s a tough battle, but at the end of it the Granbull Goons are driven out of the swamp and Tessy has her Swampert back.

In gratitude, she gives you TM120 Nature Power.
