💀Guzma

In Malie Garden, two Grunts are standing up to Professor Kukui. Their leader arrives, tall and hunched, with white sunglasses on his head: Guzma. He provokes you right away.

Our strategy

Ariados, level 30, a Water and Bug type, carries a water bubble that reduces damage from Fire moves. Target it with Electric, Rock or Flying.
Golisopod, level 31, a Bug and Water type, hits very hard, but its Wimp Out ability makes it flee when its HP drops below half. It is weak to Electric, Rock and Flying.

Beaten, Guzma leaves in a fury. You give the Professor his Mask back, and in exchange he hands you the Z-Crystal of your starter Pokémon: Decidium Z, Incinium Z or Primarium Z. Lillie arrives with Acerola, the girl from the library. Kukui leaves for Mount Lanakila to prepare a project close to his heart; Acerola advises you to go through Tapu Village.

🐎Routes 11 and 12: Mudsdale

Head down Route 11, south of Malie City, to Route 12. Hapu is waiting for you there with her faithful Mudsdale, which she registers in your Ride Pager: Mudsdale Gallop crosses the rocky ground that blocks the road.

🌋Blush Mountain and the Secluded Shore

West of Route 12, Blush Mountain is home to a geothermal power plant. A scientist gives you TM63 Embargo there, during the day, and Samson Oak gives you a Lure Ball. To the east, the Secluded Shore is a quiet beach where you can fish for Bruxish in the swirling water.

🏜️Route 13

Route 13 runs along the beach to a motel. Hau gives you a Max Potion there, and Gladion warns you at length about Cosmog. The Haina Desert, to the north, will have to wait: we will come back after the League. Tapu Village is close by, to the west.
