Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Memorial Hill entrance, go east past the lamppost and into the tall grass. Wade east through the grass to find Fisherman Vernon.
  2. 2
    Defeat Fisherman Vernon, who uses a Level 23 Staryu (Water-type) and a Level 23 Gyarados (Water/Flying-type). Grass and Electric moves are best against Staryu. Electric moves are ideal against Gyarados, dealing 4x damage.
  3. 3
    North from Vernon, find TM28 Leech Life.
  4. 4
    Proceed north and west from Vernon to find Black Belt Kenji.
  5. 5
    Defeat Black Belt Kenji, who uses a Level 24 Hariyama (Fighting-type). Flying and Fairy Pokemon are effective.
  6. 6
    Head south-west from Kenji, between the tall grass, and pick up the Zygarde Cell (30) just before the ledge.
  7. 7
    Go east into the tall grass. Search along the west side to find an obscured Tiny Mushroom.
  8. 8
    Head north into the next patch of tall grass. Search just north-east of an empty patch, towards the north side, to find a Big Mushroom.
  9. 9
    Run east towards the final patch of grass. In the center, find a hidden Tiny Mushroom.
  10. 10
    Proceed north towards the entrance to the Ruins of Life. You will be met by Team Skull Admin Plumeria.
  11. 11
    Defeat Team Skull Admin Plumeria, who uses a Level 25 Golbat (Poison/Flying-type) and a Level 26 Salandit (Fire/Poison-type). Psychic, Rock, or Electric-types are effective against Golbat. Ground-types, Water, Rock, and Psychic moves work well against Salandit.
  12. 12
    After defeating Plumeria, you are free to proceed north towards the Ruins of Life.
