Route 9

Explore Route 9 and Konikoni City in pokemon sun moon. Find wild Pokemon, battle trainers, and discover shops selling TMs for 10,000 Poke Dollars.

From the entrance to Diglett’s Tunnel, head south-west past the police station. An officer, Haruki, will battle you. His Growlithe is Level 24 and Fire-type. It has Intimidate, which lowers your Attack stat by one stage, so use special moves if possible. Water, Rock, or Ground Pokemon are recommended to counter it.

Past the officer is a crossroads. Continue south-west to reach the ocean’s edge. You can battle Fisherman Mike, who has a Level 23 Chinchou (Water/Electric). Grass Pokemon are safest, but be wary of Chinchou’s Electric moves if you are using Dartrix.

To the fisherman's east is a Net Ball. To the far west, hidden among the rock, is an X Accuracy.

Head back up the slope and continue north-west through the big gates to reach Konikoni City.
