Wedgehurst
The game opening cutscene will start with the Galar Regional Championship. After we finish the intro, it will skips to yourselves in Wedgehurst watching TV at home with your best friend Hop, who is Leon’s brother, the champion we just saw on TV, waiks up to you. When we control the character, go to the far right side of the house to your room. Then press to pick up the bag and go outside, we will find Hop waiting.
Follow Hop to his house, which is a large apartment. Go into the house and talk to Hop’s mother, we decide to meet with Lee. (Leon’s nickname) by walking out of the house and walking straight up to find Hop waiting. Follow straight through Route 1 to enter the city to find Leon showing himself to the townspeople. After meeting with Leon, we will return to the house. Leon gives us a Pokemon with Hops, which are available as follows. Scorbunny, Fire Pokémon, Sobble, Water Pokémon or Grookey, Grass Pokémon.
Once selected, Hop will pick a Pokemon after us. Which he will always choose the one that is weak to our elements. For example, if we choose the Fire element, he will choose Grass and so on. The other Pokemon will go with Leon. When we finished picking Pokemon and the mothers will come and tell us to go eat and rest. On the next day, Leon will lead us to fight Hop for the first time. He will have Wooloo and a selected Pokemon.
Once the battle is over, Hop and you will decide to go on a journey to challenge different gyms. After the conversation is over, walk out to meet with the event of Wooloo breaking the stall and escaping. Hop and you will have to go out and find it back. To walk out of the broken fence and follow the path to continue. During this time, there will also be a chance to encounter wild Pokemon. If our health is low, can go ask Hop to heal. Walk to the end of the way, we will meet a dog-like mysterious Pokemon. While fighting, the fog will thicken until we can’t see anything before that Pokemon disappears.
At the end of the fight, we’ll pass out and Leon joins in concern and he tells us that he has found the lost sheep. We’ll tell Leon about his strange encounter with a mysterious Pokemon before heading home, which Hop would excuse himself to tell his family that he is leaving for adventure.
Wedgehurst
After parting with Hop, walk into the house and meet your mother to tell her that you are leaving Wedgehurst on an adventure. After talking to Mom, you have to walk out of the house and follow the path until we find Hop. He will tell you to go to the Pokémon Research Lab. We cannot go directly, you have to walk around the sheep. In the meantime, maybe try catching Pokemon first. In which our bag initially contains five balls and can buy more later (You have to go through this part first.) After walking until you’re satisfied, go to the Pokemon Research Lab in town, where you’ll find Sonia, who will be Leon’s rival. She will give you the Pokedex and tell you that to find the professor.
Route 2
When you come out of the lab, go up to the top of town where Hop will be waiting for you. He will recommend Pokemon Center for us. After this, we can come to heal Pokemons and buy various items, with the items increasing as we play through each story phase. When you go out, follow the path to the top again, you will meet Hop to talk a little more. After finishing, walk out of the city and go through Route 2, which is a straight road, so you can walk straight ahead. When leaving the city, you will meet Leon, he will give you 20 Poke Balls. During this time, you can try to catch Pokemon around here before moving on.
After walking straight, you will meet other Pokemon trainers. Which after this we will have to meet again throughout the game. If you win, you will get both money and experience. But if you don’t want to fight, you can walk away from some trainer. At the end of the Route, you will find Professor Magnolia’s house. There will be a small talk before we fight Hop again (Leon will heal you first).
This time Hop comes with 3 Pokemon together: Wooloo/Main Pokémon/Rookidee
After the fight, Leon will receive the Letter of Endorsement item, which is a recommendation letter used to compete with the Gym Leaders. After talking with Leon and us, we will collect Wishing Star, which is an item that allows Pokemon to use Dynamax Form (Big Form). After talking, the Professor tells us to take a rest. And he has already made a tool to transform for you to use. And your next destination is to challenge different gyms.
Note :
After we play to the later part of the game that can run on water. On the left we can run up to a two small island to collect items, including the TM69 Psycho Cut and Choice Band.
Recommended Pokemon
During this period, there are 3 Pokemon that you can catch and use for a long game. Here are 3 of them. ( It’s just the author’s opinion.)
Rookidee – A small bird that, when evolved into its final form, is Flying and Steel. It can be used with variety of attack moves.
Chewtle – Water element turtle that if we don’t use Starter as Water, it can be used for a long time. Because it’s very tough, plus the skills are quite complete.
Magikarp – Another Pokemon that is worth looking for. We can go fishing next to the Professor’s house to find Magikarp or Koiking. Its second form was a very brutal Gyarados.
Train Station in Wedgehurst
Head back to Wedgehurst to reach the train station at the town. The station is located at the entrance to the town and can be seen from the Hop waiting in front. Let us get ready and walk into the station. will meet the mothers came to send us along with the Item Set of Camping Gear, which allows us to set up a tent in the Wild Area. After we ride the train for a while, the train will stop at the station at the Wild Area. Once you get out of the train, talk to the person at the exit to get a Poke Doll before walking away. In which we can also receive Pikachu and Eevee if the conditions are met.
How to get Pikachu and Eevee
You can get Pikachu and Eevee if you already have saves for both of these games. Just walk and talk to A young boy/girl at the train station in the Wild Area after we left Wedgehurst.
About Wild Area
Wild Area is initially an open area where we can meet other players. And there will be Max Raid Battle to fight and catch. If you win, Dynamax Pokémon will be able to farm a lot of stuff, whether it’s Exp, single-use skills, Berries, etc. Even more if there is. Playmates will have a lot of fun because they can get together with up to 4 people. The Max Raid are red and purple. which purple is better than normal. As for the number of stars of Pokemon, we will find more-stars Pokemon as we play clear Gyms at higher levels.
South Wild Area
After walking out of the train station, it will be a Wild Area, beware of large Pokemons walking because we can’t fight them yet. Let us try to find a way to reach Motostoke, during which time we may try to enter the Max Raid or try to find more Pokemon to catch first. If our Pokemon run out of HP or PP, you can come to heal at the NPC in front of the station. It is recommended that you try joining the Max Raid to collect Exp candy and leveling Pokemon to level 16 – 20. If we catch Pokemon until satisfied, you can walk to Motostoke City. Personally, I don’t recommend the Max Raid too much, because in the beginning, we can only unlock 1-star Pokemon, which if we play further through the story will give us a chance to find more star Max Raid pokemon.
Note:
In the Wild Area, we can explore to get TM84 Tail Slap, located in the Rolling Fields area, the TM81 Bulldoze in the Giant’s Seat, and the TM95 Air Slash in the Axew’s Eye. But the last one, you have to play further before being able to run on water.
Motostoke
When entering Motostoke, it will encounter a few incidents. After finishing, walk straight to the end of the city where there will be an elevator that will take us up to the top. By entering the building inside to register as a challenger with various gyms. In which we can choose the number we like to stick on the back of our shirt. After completing the registration, the staff will let us stay in the hotel to wait for the launch event the next day. Let us follow and go into the hotel.
When you enter the hotel, you will encounter a man in black who disturbs many people so they cannot stay. From talking, you will know that this group calls themselves Team Yell, go talk to them and answer the first option. We will fight against that grunts. This will take about 3 fights in total. After the end, Marnie will walk in and apologize on behalf of those who harassed you a few moments ago. She said they just wanted to support her. which she did not want to cause others trouble at all. When the conversation is over, let us talk to the receptionists to rest.
When you wake up, walk out and you’ll see an employee waiting for you. You can press “yes” to follow them. We have to go back to the stadium. After entering, talk to the staff in the lobby to change clothes and attended the opening ceremony of the competition.
After the ceremony is over, there will be a gift from the Chairman who left it for us. That’s the ability to Fly. From now on, we can click on the map and select the city that has been to it. It makes traveling much more convenient. After we done prepared, walk to the left hand side of the stadium, you will find Hop waiting to challenge us. Defeat him to go to Route 3.
Note :
– We can get Hi-tech Earbuds items from the man in front of the audio shop (near the elevator)

Advice
In the story after this phase, we will have to fight for quite a long time. It is recommended that 2-3 of your Pokemon should be leveled up to level 60+ or 70+. The fastest way to level up is to enter the Max Raid at the Wild Area and strike them all to bring Candy for leveling.
