🏮The Iki Town festival

Head back up to Iki Town, where the village is celebrating its Guardian. Hala presents the festival, Lillie and Hau are there, and the highlight of the festival is a battle… against Hau, in front of the whole village. He has caught a Pichu since you first met.

Our strategy

Hau first sends out Pichu, level 6, which can paralyze. His starter Pokémon, level 7, is still at a disadvantage against yours.

After the battle, Hala gives you back the Sparkling Stone: it has become a Z-Ring. Tapu Koko recognized you, and this bracelet will let you use Z-Moves, super-powerful attacks, once per battle. It makes you a participant in the Island Challenge, the rite of passage that young Alolan Trainers go through, island after island.

Next step: Hau’oli Outskirts and the Trainers’ School.
