Claiming that their status as royalty and celebrities has been called into question by Sonia's findings, Sordward Sw/Shielbert Sh reveal they plan to tarnish the names of Legendary Pokémon by overloading them with the same Galar particles they used to force the Stadium Pokémon to Dynamax, causing them to go berserk. The player and their friends are stopped by Sordward Sw/Shielbert Sh while their brother is dealing with Zamazenta Sw/Zacian Sh. Sordward, Shielbert, and Sonia's assistant make their escape while Sonia is stunned by the sudden betrayal.Īfter helping the other Stadiums, Sonia is able to break into the Energy Plant where Sordward, Shielbert, and their allies are waiting to lure the Legendary Pokémon. After the battle, Sonia's new assistant is revealed to have been a supporter of the royal brothers, who was planted there to spy on Sonia and secure the Wishing Stars the lab had in storage. This time, the player and Hop team up and face the duo in a Multi Battle, emerging victorious.

The player, Hop, and Piers work together with Nessa and Kabu to defend their respective stadiums, after which the player is called by Sonia, who says that the brothers have arrived at her laboratory in Wedgehurst, demanding more Wishing Stars to force Pokémon to Dynamax with. They announce their intent to do the same thing at other Stadiums, and that they will reveal the 'true nature' of Zacian and Zamazenta. The player later finds Sordward and Shielbert in Turffield Stadium, where they reveal they were the people behind the Gym's incident with the rampaging Dynamax Tsareena that the player, Hop, Milo, and Piers battled. The duo make their escape, causing a frustrated Hop to pursue them. The player battles and defeats Sordward Sw/Shielbert Sh in battle and reclaims their Sword Sw/Shield Sh, but Hop is defeated by the other brother.

The brothers declare the items to belong to them, claiming to be descendants of the first kings of Galar, and denounce Sonia's Book, which unveils the kings of legend as the Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta, as a lie. After a battle, the two, prompted by Sonia, attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield they borrowed to fight Eternatus to the grave site, but they are stopped by Sordward and his brother, Shielbert, who steal the weapons.
