[Wayback/Archive] PSA: Fast way to complete the “Use 10 super effective charged attacks” field research : TheSilphRoad
TL;DR: Use a 1500 CP Poliwrath with Mud Shot and Power-Up Punch against Blanche in Great League, and don’t swipe any bubbles. Quest is done in 1 battle or 3 minutes.
This has been posted before when people were working on the 200 super effective charged moves for the level 43 quest, and I personally learned the trick from that post. But now that we have regular field research quests that reward Mega Energy for 10 SE charged moves, I figured it might be worth a repost.
What you need
A Poliwrath under 1500 CP, with fast move Mud Shot and charged move Power-Up Punch.
What you do
- Do a training battle with Blanche in Great League. This can be found at the bottom of the “Battle” tab.
- Use Poliwrath in the lead, followed by two random 1500 CP Pokemon. (Blanche always uses Sneasel, Sealeo and Snowy Castform.)
- In the battle, use a Power-Up Punch whenever it’s charged up.
- Do not swipe any bubbles during the charged move animation, until you already reached ~10 charged moves. This will ensure you do minimal damage (25% of the move’s actual power).
- Once you count to 9 or 10 charged moves, you can then swipe all bubbles to do full damage.
Without any bubbles, it typically takes 3-4 PuPs to kill Sneasel, 4-5 for Sealeo, and 4-5 for Castform. So I typically don’t swipe any bubbles against Sneasel and Sealeo, then swipe all or most bubbles against Castform (would take 2-3 PuPs to kill it). This works even if you’re not consciously keeping track of how many charged moves you’ve used.
Many alternatives are available, such as Medicham with Psycho Cut/Power-Up Punch against GL Blanche, Politoed with Mud Shot/Weather Ball against GL Candela, or a Mud Shot/Mud Bomb user (Whiscash, Marshtomp) against GL Candela.
(If someone wants to make a video of this, go ahead.)

Choose battle menu option and fight blanche using Magnezone, Skeledirge, Jolteon. If used in that order against Blanches 3 Pokemon in her order, every charged attack will be of the super effective charged attack type. Magnezone and Jolteon can switch their order if preferred. I.e., Magnezone and Jolteon will tick off the super effective attack count against Blanches first and last Pokemon. Enjoy!
