How to Quickly Upgrade the Dojo in Pokemon Sword and Shield Isle of Armor DLC

To upgrade the Master Dojo in Isle of Armor you'll need to have a huge amount of Watts, which can be spent to add new features to the Dojo which in turn can help you train your Pokemon or get new items/options. The option to unlock Dojo upgrades begins after the completion of the third Dojo trial, whereupon Honey will be on the right side of the main Dojo training room, close to your bedroom. Talk to her and you can begin to spend watts for tiered rewards.

All Dojo Upgrades

There are a total of 14 upgrade tiers, each one of which unlocks some new reward, event, feature or option based around the Dojo. We've laid them all out below.

Watts	Upgrade/Reward
5000	A hairstylist is added to the Dojo (accessible through your room).
10,000	An unusable PC terminal is added to the Dojo.
20,000	The PC is fixed.
30,000	A vending machine the player can use appears in the Dojo.
40,000	Soda Pop is added to the vending machine.
50,000	Lemonade is added to the vending machine.
100,000	Cooking ingredients are added to the kitchen refrigerator.
200,000	Protein and Iron are added to the vending machine.
300,000	Calcium and Zinc are added to the vending machine.
400,000	HP Up and Carbos are added to the vending machine.
500,000	A Dojo-themed background for your league card.
800,000	The player receives Honey's League Card.
1,000,000	The player may battle Honey once a day (see more below).
3,280,000	The player can go on a walk with Honey as part of a cutscene and receive a Rare League Card.

How to Make Watts Quickly

The fastest way to make watts in Isle of Armor is to talk to Digging Ma, the NPC dressed as a miner who can be found around the Isle of Armor, and give her Amorite Ore to dig up watts for you. Depending on your luck, she could get you hundreds of thousands of watts each team, making those higher-tier rewards much more plausible.

How to Unlock and Beat the Secret Honey Boss Battle

After spending 1,000,000 watts total you'll unlock the option to battle with Honey once a day! Talk to her for the option, and she'll escort you to the arena outside, allowing both of your Pokemon to Gigantimax. We've laid out her full team below, as well as what weaknesses they have.

Pokemon	Level	Weaknesses
Blissey	60	Fighting
Darmanitan (Galarian)	58	Fighting, Rock, Steel, Fire
Salazzle	58	Psychic, Rock, Water
Gallade	59	Ghost, Flying, Fairy
Togekiss	60	Poison, Steel, Rock, Electric, Ice
Blastoise/Venusaur (Gigantimax)	60	See below

Earlier in the game when choosing whether you wanted Bulbasaur or Squirtle, Honey mentions that she'll look after whichever Pokemon you didn't pick. Now we see what she means, as the evolved form of the remaining starter is her final and most powerful Pokemon, one she'll Gigantimax at the climax of the fight. If it's Venusaur, it'll be weak to Psychic, Flying, Ice and Fire. If it's Blastoise, it'll be vulnerable to Grass and Electric attacks. Otherwise we recommend having Pokemon with some powerful Rock-type moves, as half her team have vulnerability to Rock, and the Blissey will struggle to do any damage to Rock Pokemon.

There aren't any real rewards for beating Honey besides a decent cash prize of 9,600 Pokedollars. You can also battle her once a day from that point on.
