Discover the Pokémon you can find at the base of Mount Lanakila in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, including encounter rates and types.
Alright, so you're looking to explore the base of Mount Lanakila in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? It's the tallest mountain in Alola, where the Pokémon League is being built. You can't actually climb the mountain itself until you've finished the Island Challenge, but there's a little area in the south-east corner with tall grass where you can find some cool snowy inhabitants.
Honestly, most of the Pokémon you'll find here are also available later near Tapu Village. The main difference is that you won't run into Pelipper here, which is actually pretty handy if you're training Fire, Fighting, or Steel-type Pokémon. Just a heads-up, though, there's a chance of hail in this area, which can be a bit of a pain during battles.
