Rewards
Tapunium Z, Poké Doll, Starter Pokémon Z-Crystals
Guardian deity level
60

⚡Tapu Koko at the Ruins of Conflict

The bridge on the Mahalo Trail has been rebuilt: follow Lillie to the Ruins of Conflict. Touch the stone in your turn: Tapu Koko appears and attacks you, at level 60.

  • Tapu KokoNo. 60ElectricFairy

    Tapu Koko, Electric and Fairy. Its ability Electric Surge covers the field in electricity. It fears only Ground and Poison.

After the battle, the Tapunium Z comes back to you: it turns Nature’s Madness, the move unique to the guardian deities, into Guardian of Alola.

🚢Lillie’s farewell

Back in the village, you learn that Lusamine is doing better. The next day, Lillie says her goodbyes on the dock: she is leaving for Kanto, with her mother, to seek out a famous specialist and find a way to cure her of the traces of Ultra Space. She gives you a Poké Doll. The credits roll.

When you resume your game, the Rotom Dex announces that the rest of Poni is open. Hau stops by your home and gives you the Z-Crystals of the two starter Pokémon that you did not choose.

🗿The three other guardian deities

Each guardian deity waits in its ruins, at level 60. They are caught like Tapu Koko, with patience: a Timer Ball after about ten turns, or a Dusk Ball at night, often does the job.

  • Tapu LeleNo. 60PsychicFairy

    Tapu Lele, Psychic and Fairy, at the Ruins of Life, at the end of the Akala Outskirts. It covers the field in Psychic terrain.

  • Tapu BuluNo. 60GrassFairy
