Unlock costs

Candy needed for a cost-4 starter:

Passive ability: 30 🍬
Cost reductions: 15 / 40 🍬
Same-species egg: 20 🍬; The price only drops once you have hatched enough Axew eggs: 18 🍬 after 15 hatches, 15 🍬 after 30 hatches, 10 🍬 after 60 hatches.
Friendship needed per candy: 100

Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Axew needs 100 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.

Axew (Classic, full unlocks)

It's great, and I recommend this build for classic or challenges. Ability: Mold Breaker (Recommended) / Unnerve Passive: Sharpness (Highly recommended) Moveset: Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Cross Poison (Recommended) / Stone Axe, Bitter Blade Nature: Adamant When you're just starting as an Axew, you don't have Dragon Dance or Dragon Claw. I highly recommend just spamming First Impression as your main priority move. When you can learn Dragon Claw, replace First Impression and spam Dragon Claw instead. Can't hit something for at least neutral, use the coverage moves Bitter Blade and Cross Poison / Stone Axe. When you get Dragon Dance, replace either Cross Poison or Stone Axe, depending if you want firepower or utility with rocks. The strategy with Haxorus in later stages of the game in the harder rival fights, evil teams, Elite Fours, and champions is to Dragon Dance whenever you think you can survive the counterattack. For example, you know that Ivy will open with her starter and would Terastallize immediately if she stays in. You can use that to safely Dragon Dance, as their main STAB is resisted by your Dragon typing. Do not Dragon Dance if you know your opponent has a coverage move that can hit you super effectively or hard specially. Afterwards, sweep the entire team and you are good to go. For Eternatus, the main idea is to hit immediately to trigger stage 2, and use support Pokémon like Smeargle to put the boss to sleep so your Haxorus can safely Dragon Dance.
