    Head west back to the northbound path. To the south, battle Pokémon Breeder Yuka. Her Pokémon are Morelull (15) and Ledyba (16).

  12. 12
    Return to the Pokémon Centre. Speak to the man in front of the red stand near the cafe area. He requests a Feebas. You can fish for it in Brooklet Hill. Return to him after catching Feebas to receive 3000 Poke Dollars.

Tips
  • For Twins Isa and Nico: Use Fighting-type moves against Happiny and Poison or Steel types against Igglybuff.
  • For Pokémon Breeder Yuka: Morelull is 4x weak to Poison, Fire, or Steel. Ledyba is weak to Rock, Fire, Flying, or Electric.
  • For Gladion: Zubat is weak to Electric, Rock, or Psychic. Type: Null is a Normal-type with good all-around stats; Fighting-type moves are effective.
  • For Pokémon Breeder Cory: Paras is 4x weak to Fire and Flying. Spinarak is weak to Fire, Flying, Rock, or Psychic.
  • For Rising Star Duo Lauren and Justin: Both are Flying-types. Electric or Rock-type Pokémon are recommended. Fairy moves are effective against Vullaby. Focus on Rufflet first.
  • Feebas is extremely rare; a bubbling fishing spot increases your chances.
