What should be my last 2 pokemon for my team (Sword)?

For story mode only!

So far I have:

Inteleon Centiskorch Boltund Copperajah

I’m building a team with all different types of moves but if I don’t need that then let me know! (If the game is too easy) BTW, I’m playing legit, meaning I’m not hacking or cheating or changing time. I’m looking for a grass type pokemon because I need a pkmn with a grass type move but if there’s anything better I’ll take it. I was thinking: Lurantis Appletun(I’ll get it through GTS) Hatterene Sirfetch’d I would take flapple but google is saying it gets weak towards end of game.

So what do you all think?

**Cant wait for switch 2!

Pokemon dlc question

I was previously able to have a second account access the DLC for shield, but now I can't. Does anyone know why? It just says that the expansion pass is paid content, & directs me to the eShop

Why is my ice type move not very effective against Latias in Max Raids

I included a picture so you can see, I know Latias shouldn’t resist ice type attacks, what am I missing here?

Starters given to the player throughout the game?

Just started playing for the first time yesterday, old timer Pokémon fan just decided to get into the Switch titles.

Picked a starter at the beginning, cool, then I got into the Isle of Armor early and got a new starter to choose from this one being a gen 1 classic. Any other moments where you get to choose between a few starters from an older generation? Not catch, just gifted.

Question about games and DLC sharing on one console

If I have Pokemon sword in one account and the Pokemon sword DLC in another account, both on the same console, will I be able to access the DLC in any of the two account?

What are the odds for having 3IVs,4IVs 5IVs for wild dynamax lair pokemons?

Im really new to SWSH DLCs but I started doing dynamax battles & Caught this Barraskewda with this amazing IVs. First Time in more than 25 years playing Pokémon that I caught something with those IVs.Actually the Battle was tough , used shields every turn; had to do It 3 times and recurr to lvl100 competitive mon for assurance (did It with NPCs).

What are the odds for this? And Is there a way to assure 5 IVs on a dynamax raid?

Can you soft reset after throwing the wishing Star or does It have to be before ? Is every pit lair locked to One specific Pokémon?
