Route 3

After you leave the cave, talk to Ilima. You will learn how to use Z-Crystals. After a short lesson, you will have to head to Route 3. While on Route 3, you will notice shadows moving along the ground. After you walk onto one, you will be attacked by a pokemon. Creatures that you can obtain here are:

1. Vullaby
2. Spearow

Go to the uppermost part of the canyon. Along your path, you will find a Shark Beak. Then, climb down to fight new opponents:

1. Ian with Psyduck, level 13
2. Tatiana, with a single pokemon - Petilil, level 13

Before you continue towards your destination, search the bushes on the escarpment. There, you can find a Heal Ball and two new pokemons.

1. Mankey
2. Spearow
3. Cutiefly
4. Delibird
5. Alolan Rattata

Head on but, before you enter the cave, go cross Route 3. There, you will find the professor blocking off the passages. Go right and go to new bushes. From the man in the hat, you will receive a Soothe Ball. Unfortunately, you will be unable, as of now, to pick up the item behind the rocks, because you do not have the necessary ability. Enter the cave that you will follow to Melemele Meadow. There, you will find Lillie, who will ask you to rescue her pokemon. Here, you can also find new pokemons, as well as ones that you are already familiar with:

1. Caterpie
2. Petilil
3. Oricorio
4. Metapod
5. Cutiefly

During your search, you will find quite a few items: Great Ball, Net Ball, 2 Yellow Nectar, Poison Barb. After you find Nebby, the game will lead you to Lilli. You will learn that Oricorio can change, if only you serve it with appropriate flower nectar. After you and Lilli leave the cave, you will fight Hau again.

1. He will have 2 pokemons. The first one is Pikachu, level 13, whereas the other one is a pokemon of his choice, level 14.

After the battle, you will learn that you have to go to the battle with Great Kahuna. If you have not yet collected everything in the previous location, return there. Then, go to the village along the path that used to be blocked by the professor. Over the bridge, you will fight an opponent.

1. Joshua has Growlithe, level 13

As you proceed on, you will find a Super potion. Then, talk to the man in yellow shirt, who will ask you to help him. You will have to find a pokemon named Rockruff, which can allegedly be found on Ten Carat Hill. You will be able to access that location after you win with Kahuna. Behind the man, there is a tree with berries. Pick it up and collect the Nest Ball. In the bushes here, you can only find pokemons that you are already familiar with. Go to the village. There, talk to professor Kukui and Lillie. You will learn that Kahuna uses fightning pokemons. This is why, it is best to have a flying or a psychic pokemon on you. As soon as you are ready, approach Hala.

Kakuna Hala

1. He has 3 pokemons. The first one that he chooses is Mankey, level 14. After you defeat it, he will choose Makuhita, level 14. The last one is Crabrawler, level 15. During the battle, Hala will use Z-Ring special abilities. They are powerful and they can kill your pokemon in one try. During the battle, use flying or psychic pokemons, which will be a good way of winning.

After the battle, you will receive another Z-Crystal - Fightinium Z. This ends the trials of Melemele. Additionally, you will also receive the ability to ride Tauros. From now on, you can smash all of the stone blockades in your way to new locations. Also, you will receive TM54 False Swipe, which makes a very important ability! It will allow you to attack pokemons without killing them and, as you can guess, it is used for capturing pokemons. Before you head for the next objective, search the rest of the locations for new items and pokemons. Below, you can find all of the locations on Melemele.

Tauros on Melemele

The next location is on the escarpment next to the cave, where you have rescued Nebby. There, you will find a pokemon ability - TM83 Infestation.

There also is one item next to the Hau'oli cemetery - Star Piece.

The last location is the volcano next to the professor's lab. There, you will find some new and old pokemons: Roggenrola, Machop, Carbink, Rockruff Items to obtain here are: X Attack, Super potion, Ultra Ball, Hard Stone, Great Ball, Nugget, Burn Heal, TM62 Acrobatics, Also, there is a large boulder blocking the passage here.
