Your essential guide to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon! Get step-by-step instructions and tips for the main walkthrough, covering everything you need to know to progress.
Hey there! Welcome to the main walkthrough for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. This guide is designed to help you through the game, assuming you've got a handle on the basics like healing and catching Pokémon. Think of me as your experienced friend guiding you through Alola.
A couple of quick notes before we dive in: This guide uses internal hyperlinks – if you see something in blue, click it for more info and hit Backspace to return here. I played the Moon version with Rowlet as my starter, so some Sun version or different starter details might be a bit sparse, but the core info should be solid. Also, we'll use '$' for currency. One more thing: the camera can be a bit wild, so when I say 'east' or 'west,' I mean relative to where the camera is looking, as if it were always facing north. Let's get started!
This section covers the core progression of your adventure. We'll be moving through the islands, facing challenges, and uncovering the story of Alola.
- 1Beginning Your Journey on Melemele Island: You'll start your adventure in your house in Hau'oli City. After the initial scenes and meeting your Mom, head outside. Your first task is to meet your rival, Hau, and Professor Kukui. Follow the on-screen prompts to head towards Iki Town.
