The Band of Choice is a useful item that your Pokémon may contain in Pokémon Sword and Shield. When a Pokémon holds it, its attack power increases dramatically. However, just like the scarf of choice, it limits them to using the first move they make during a fight. So if you have an Obstagoon holding the item and he’s using Slam as his first move, he can only use that attack for the rest of the battle. It will reset after every fight, it’s important to note that you can’t collect this item until you have the Rotom Bicycle upgrade that allows you to cross water on your bike. If you don’t have it yet, you need to defeat the Sixth Gym Leader and go through Route 9.

To find this item, you must return to Route 2, where you started your journey in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Walk the route and head to the front of Professor Magnolia’s house, where there is a bridge leading to the house from the route.

Continue to the right side of the bridge on the side of the professor’s house. Make sure you’re on your Rotom bike and head to the right side of the bridge in the river. Continue on the right side and it shouldn’t take you too long to reach a small alcove with a Poké Ball on the ground. Get on dry land and grab the ball to add the group of choice to your collection.

You want to make sure you give it to a Pokémon that primarily uses physical attacks, which is the explosion icon you see when viewing the category of a Pokémon move. The alternative you don’t want to have is the circle with several rings inside its icon, which represents special attacks.
