Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon - Paniola Town, Paniola Ranch and Pokémon Nursery

Paniola Town, Paniola Ranch and the Pokémon Nusery are next up on your quest across Alola. It's time for a slightly out-of-left-field switch to western theming, with a dsitinctly "frontier" vibe to the Paniola areas of the map.

Here on this page we'll explain all you need to know about the story and main events as they unfold here, and as with all pages of our walkthrough we'll highlight any and all trainers, items and wild Pokémon available to catch as well.

For more general guides and other walkthrough pages like this meanwhile, head back to our main Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon walkthrough and guide hub.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Paniola Town

Paniola Town is fairly uneventful - you'll be surprised by Hau on entering, who'll challenge you to a battle, and then the only other point of interest is a brush with Team Skull.

On the left of the town, by the small body of water, you'll find two Skull Grunts hassling a woman and a Vulpix. Defeat them in battle and the Vulpix runs off. At least that's your good deed done for the day.

For more on Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon, head to our main Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon walkthrough and guide hub, which includes guides to new Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Pokémon and Pokédex changes, the Festival Plaza, a list of Global Missions and rewards, an explainer on Pokémon Bank, a dedicated page on Pokémon Competitive Training, including IV Training, EVs and hidden stats, Breeding 6IV Pokémon explained and how to farm Bottle Caps fast for Hyper Training. What's more, we have pages on the Rockruff event for getting Dusk Form Lycanroc and, last but not least, a full Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon QR codes list for adding all Pokémon to your Pokédex.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Paniola Ranch and Pokémon Nursery

Paniola Ranch plays out identically to regular Sun and Moon, with the main point of interest being a trainer who teaches you how to use the Stoutland ability of your Ride Pager and letting you search their paddock for some hidden rare items.

There are also a few trainers, items, and wild Pokémon dotted around the short route, but aside from that little turn around the field the other key location here is the Pokémon Nursery.

Next up: Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon - Route 5, Brooklet Hill, Captain Lana's Trial, Totem Araquanid and Waterium Z

Head inside and you'll be given a Pokémon Egg which, as before, will hatch into an Eevee after a fair bit of walkthing. This time, your Rotom dex will give you a free boost to hatching speed, but otherwise things play out the same.

When you've got the Egg and finished up exploring the route, it's time to head north on Route 5 to your next trial!
