Heahea City: Akala Island 2

Navigate Heahea City in Pokémon Sun and Moon! Learn about trainer battles with Dexio and Sina, find the Zygarde Cube, and discover Zygarde Cells at Tide Song Hotel.

Alright, so you've made it to Heahea City on Akala Island! This part of the guide is going to cover a couple of trainer battles and a pretty important item you'll want to grab.

Pokemon Trainer Dexio (Sun)

First up, if you're playing Pokémon Sun, you'll have to face off against Trainer Dexio. He's got a Level 15 Slowpoke (Water/Psychic) and a Level 16 Espeon (Psychic).

For Dexio's Slowpoke, Grass, Electric, Bug, Ghost, or Dark-type moves should do the trick. Espeon is a bit more vulnerable to Dark-types, but Bug and Ghost types work well too, just be careful if they're also Poison-type.

Pokemon Trainer Sina (Moon)

If you're playing Pokémon Moon, you'll be up against Trainer Sina. She's got a Level 15 Delibird (Ice/Flying) and a Level 16 Glaceon (Ice).

Delibird is pretty much a pushover, but to be safe, bring out your Fire, Electric, Steel, or Rock-types. Glaceon is a bit tougher, but Fire, Fighting, Steel, or Rock Pokémon will handle it just fine.

Zygarde Cube and Cells

After you pass these trainer battles, you'll get an awesome item called the Zygarde Cube. This is super important because it lets you collect Zygarde Cores and Cells all over Alola. Later, you can use these to build the legendary Pokémon Zygarde!

You might remember we suggested waiting to re-explore Melemele Island? That's because there are a bunch of Zygarde Cells there you can only see and collect now. It's a bit of a hunt to find all 100 Cores and Cells, but don't worry, we'll help you out!

For now, though, keep going past the water fountain to find the Tide Song Hotel. Inside, head to the top-left corner. Look above the dancer lady – you should see a sparkling green object. That's a Zygarde Cell (15)!

After grabbing that, head to the other side of the hotel, to the right of the reception desk. You'll find Lillie looking around. Chat with her, then exit the hotel. From the T-junction below the water fountain, you can head east to Route 4. Or, if you're feeling like hunting more Zygarde Cells, you can always head back to Melemele Island or explore other areas you might have missed. If you want to do that, just flip back to the Melemele Sidequests section.
