Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the area signpost, head east towards the route signpost, then descend the slope to the sandy beach.
  2. 2
    Run south along the beach. Use Stoutland's sniff ability to find a buried Net Ball at the far end.
  3. 3
    Call Lapras and paddle east from the shore. A trainer, Swimmer Dakota (Surskit Lv. 19, Dewpider Lv. 19), is located swimming around a rock.
  4. 4
    After the battle, head north between the shore and an island. Land on the north-west shore.
  5. 5
    Follow the shore south and search a larger rock for a Pearl.
  6. 6
    Run back and grab the Zygarde Cell (23) by the cliff and rock corner.
  7. 7
    Head north cautiously towards six small dens where Pokémon move between them. Time your movement to pass through without encountering Pokémon, or stay to the east or west sides.
  8. 8
    On the other side, go up the slope by the cliff face to find a Max Repel.
  9. 9
    Back on the northern shore, paddle north-east from the slope to encounter Swimmer Tiare (Alomomola Lv. 19).
  10. 10
    Swim east towards a trio of rocks with a fishing spot.
  11. 11
    Head south-east. Midway between the rocks and the next island, you'll find Swimmer Casey (Mareanie Lv. 19).
  12. 12
    Continue south-east and pick up the submerged Antidote on the east side.
  13. 13
    Further south, disembark on a shore to face Swimmer Vanessa (Shellder Lv. 18, Corsola Lv. 19).
  14. 14
    After the battle, stroll south past Vanessa. At the fishing spot in the middle, follow it around to find TM73 Thunder Wave north of the rocks.
  15. 15
    Continue south-west to leave the island back to the main shore.
