Objectives | Defeat all the Terror Granbull in Cootes Bog alongside Tessy, including a Dynamax Feraligatr |
Reward | Item: TM120 Nature Power |
After beating Tessy at the Polder Gym, speak to her in Cootes Bog and you’ll help her rescue her missing Swampert and drive the Terror Granbull from the swamp. Your reward is TM120 Nature Power.
Starting the Mission

Cootes Bog is a massive swamp, and it can be reached by going north of Polder Town.
If you’ve defeated her in the Polder Gym, Tessy will be here with a mission for you.

It turns out that the Terror Granbull moved on to Cootes Bog and want to take over Polder Town as their little kingdom. You’ll be teaming up with Tessy in a series of Double Battles to get rid of them.
How to Complete

The way forward is to either take the bridge path, or go north along the pond way and jump the cliff west.
You’ll eventually run into two Granbull goons itching for a fight.

Continue to follow the bridge path and you’ll run into another pair of Granbull goons.

Eventually, you’ll be led all the way back through the entire length of the bridge route to the north end of the bog, near the Magnolia Town entrance.

There’s a third pair of Goons here, and once you pass them, head southeast.

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.
