Complete walkthrough for Route 3 (South) in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, including trainer battles with Hau and Makana, item locations, and Pokémon encounters.
Walkthrough
- 1After rescuing Nebby from Seعاد Cave, Lillie heals your party. You'll leave Melemele Meadow back to Route 3.
- 2You will be challenged to a Pokémon battle by your rival, Hau.
- 3Hau's Pokémon: Starter (Lv. 13), Noibat (Lv. 11), Pikachu (Lv. 12).
- 4Pikachu is weak to Electric-resistant Pokémon. Noibat is weak to Ice and Rock but frail.
- 5After the battle, Kukui informs you that your next destination is Hala’s Grand Trial in Iki Town.
- 6Head south from the meadow entrance towards the suspension bridge.
- 7Before the bridge, a man will show you something (during the day).
- 8Cross the bridge to the south.
- 9You'll encounter Rising Star Joshua.
- 10Joshua's Pokémon: Growlithe (Lv. 12).
- 11This Fire-type is weak to Water, Rock, and Ground-types.
- 12South of Joshua, collect the Super Potion on the right side of the path.
- 13Follow the path south-west down the slope.
- 14At the end of the slope, head north-east towards tall grass.
- 15On the other side of the tall grass, you'll find a berry stack and a Nest Ball near the edge.
- 16Head back through the tall grass and dash south towards the route's exit.
- 17If you defeated all trainers on Route 3, you can battle Ace Trainer Makana, located south-east from the Melemele Meadow entrance.
- 18Makana's Pokémon: Slowpoke (Lv. 14), Butterfree (Lv. 14).
- 19Slowpoke uses Yawn to induce sleep; finish it quickly with Grass, Electric, Ghost, or Dark moves.
- 20Butterfree knows Roost, which heals HP and removes its Flying type temporarily. Use Fire, Ice, Electric, or Rock moves.
- 21Defeating Makana earns you TM19 Roost.
- 22Exit Route 3 via the south, leading to Rockruff on Route 1.
- 23From Route 1, head west to return to Iki Town.
Tips
- The easiest way to reach Iki Town is to traverse the remainder of Route 3.
- When battling Noibat, brute force is an option due to its frailty, despite its weaknesses.
- For Slowpoke, use moves that your Pokémon are not weak to, as it can inflict sleep.
- TM19 Roost is generally recommended for Pokémon with reasonable bulk.
