Dragon

Hassel is the fourth and final Elite Four opponent. He Terastallizes Baxcalibur into Dragon before the Top Champion battle.

Fairy coverage pressures most of the team, but Dragalge’s Poison typing removes that weakness. Ice strongly punishes Noivern and Flapple. Thermal Exchange stops Baxcalibur from being burned, and Fire attacks raise its Attack.
