Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head north towards the route sign. An Ace Trainer will only battle you after you defeat other trainers on the route.
  2. 2
    Continue north past the route sign. Find a woman staring at the sea; search the grass mound to the east for a Max Repel.
  3. 3
    Return to the main road and head west. Near a trailer on the north side, pick up the Zygarde Cell (25) by the stairs and enter the trailer.
  4. 4
    An Aether employee inside wants you to catch a Stufful. Show her one to earn 5,000 Poke Dollars.
  5. 5
    Continue west and you will meet Colress, who gives you TM43 Flame Charge.

    Optionally, check the south side of the Aether Foundation trailer for a Photo Spot.
  7. 7
    Head into the nearby tall grass and navigate north-east.

    Past the tall grass, follow the narrow path east. Pick up the Big Pearl at the far corner. You can leap over the ledge to return to where you found the Max Repel, then go back south to the main road.

    West from the tall grass is another area of tall grass. You can evade the trainer circling the grass mound by going south.

    Battle Backpacker Kiana, who has an Eevee (Level 20). Fighting, Rock, and Steel-types are effective.

    After defeating Mikey or sneaking past, pick up the Hyper Potion in the corner west of him, on lower ground.

    Head south from here to find a patch of tall grass; at the far end is a Miracle Seed.
  15. 15
    Return to the main road and approach the slope to higher ground. Search the corner west from the slope to find a hidden Adrenaline Orb.
  16. 16
    Ascend the slope and head west through the tall grass towards the berry pile.
  17. 17
    Continuing west along the road leads towards Rising Star Nicki. Going along the higher path leads behind her.
  18. 18
    Battle Rising Star Nicki, who has a Miltank (Level 21). Fighting-types are effective, or you can buff your Pokemon or inflict status on Miltank.
  19. 19
    At the bottom of the slope, the main road bends south-west. A trainer walks to and fro around here.
