Explore Floccesy Ranch thoroughly. You'll find several trainers to battle, which is excellent for gaining experience. The wild Pokémon here include Lillipup, Mareep, and Riolu (rarely). Riolu is a fantastic Fighting-type Pokémon that evolves into Lucario, so try to catch one if you can! As you explore, you'll eventually find the missing Herdier being harassed by a Team Plasma Grunt. This is your first encounter with the villainous organization.
