Route 3

Galar Route 3

There's a tired Corviknight blocking the east exit from Motostoke, so for now head west to continue your journey onto Route 3. There are a few trainers on the route to battle. You can avoid most of these, either by going through the grass instead of the path or by waiting until the trainer is not looking in your direction to sneak past.

Items

Item Location Games Big Mushroom Next to a tree right near the Motostoke entrance (hidden)  Sw  Sh  Heal Ball ×3 In a clearing west of a field of grass near the Motostoke entrance  Sw  Sh  Burn Heal Just west of the Trainer Tips sign (hidden)  Sw  Sh  Escape Rope From Sonia, north of the Trainer Tips sign  Sw  Sh  Revive On a rock on the northeast side of the hill around the Trainer Tips sign (hidden)  Sw  Sh  TM37 (Beat Up) Atop the ledge next to the Trainer Tips sign  Sw  Sh  Cheri Berry From Becca in front of her tent  Sw  Sh  X Defense ×2 On the east side of the Galar Mine entrance (hidden)  Sw  Sh  Super Potion In a clearing of a field of grass near the Galar Mine entrance  Sw  Sh  TM54 (Rock Blast) Atop the hill accessible via Galar Mine  Sw  Sh

When you reach the fork in the road, first head down the south path to quickly grab a hidden Burn Heal before continuing up the north path to meet up with Sonia in the middle of the route. She will give you a bit of exposition into Galar's backstory before giving you an Escape Rope, which allows you to immediately leave from dungeons such as caves or forests. In this game its a key item, so use it often! She will also heal your Pokémon before she leaves you to continue your adventure.

Continue west, and at the next fork you can take the south path to battle an optional trainer, collect some berries from the tree and collect TM037 (Beat Up). Backtrack to the fork and continue on the north path.

You will pass a camp which you can use if you like. Talk to the girl out the front to receive a Cheri Berry. You will also be able to use a flying taxi to travel to this camp if you need to revisit Route 3. Continue west and then north to enter Galar Mine, speaking to the woman near the entrance if you need to heal up your Pokémon.

Galar Mine

Galar Mine

The main path through Galar Mine will be to follow the tracks to the north. Again, there are a few trainers most of which can be avoided with careful movements. Optionally, take the first branch to the south/west to fight a trainer and backtrack to Route 3. Collect three Great Balls on the short dead end path before heading outside to a previously inaccessible cliff on Route 3 where you can grab TM054 (Rock Blast).

Heading back and continuing north following the tracks through the mine, you again have the option to detour to the west to collect TM026 (Scary Face) and a hidden Stardust. Otherwise continue through the mine until you come across Bede just before the exit. You might remember him as the smug trainer you first encountered in Motostoke Stadium, but here he properly introduce himself and will challenge you to a battle.

Talk to the woman just outside of Galar Mine to heal your Pokémon before you continue. Route 4 is a short path directly north to Turffield, however you can detour through the fields to battle six optional trainers and collect items before you continue.
