What are two good Pokemon I can use to beat Piers in Shield?

Excadrill would be quite good. Its STAB Ground moves are super effective against Skuntank, it’s immune to Skuntank’s Poison moves, and it resists Malamar’s Psychic moves.

Excadrill @ anythingAbility: doesn’t matter- Earthquake (Level 52/TR)- Iron Head (TR)- X-Scissor (TR)- Brick Break / Swords Dance (TM found on Route 8 [Brick Break] / Level 40 [Swords Dance])

With this set, it can cover every single one of Piers' Pokemon super effectively. A second good Pokemon would be a Bug type, which resists Scrafty’s Fighting STAB and gets STAB on super effective Bug moves itself. I would recommend Ribombee, as it resists all Dark STAB, and can hit both Malamar and Scrafty for 4x damage with its STAB, plus Obstagoon for 2x damage.

Ribombee @ anythingAbility: Shield Dust- Bug Buzz / Pollen Puff (Level 56 [Bug Buzz]/Learned upon evolution [Pollen Puff])- Dazzling Gleam (Level 48/TR)- Psychic (TR)- Energy Ball (TR)

Hope I helped!

His entire team is covered byfightingandfairy.Since you don’t have access to Sirfetch’d or the Kommo-o line in SWSH and Hawlucha is quite rare, I would recommendToxicroakbecause of it’s good attack statToxicroak@Any item works, it doesn’t matterAbility:Dry Skin is optimal•Poison Jab (level up)•Brick Break (TM from route 8)•Sucker Punch (level up)•Stone Edge (TR)Croagunk can be found at the Bridge Field, Dusty Bowl, Giant’s Cap, Motostoke Outskirts, Stony Wilderness, Galar Mine No. 2. In the wild area, he’s usually an overworld spawn in Overcast.

And for a fairy type, I would recommendGrimmsnarlbecause of it’s good moves and attack statGrimmsnarl@Any item, doesn’t matterAbility:Again, doenst really matter much•Spirit Break (upon evolution)•False Surrender (level up)•Power-Up Punch (level up)•Bulk Up (level up)Morgrem can be found easily in the Glimmwood Tangle.

Hope this helps!
