Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon - Ancient Poni Path, Poni Breaker Coast, Machamp Shove

Our in-progress walkthrough for the whole Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon island challenge and beyond.

Ancient Poni Path, Poni Breaker Coast and the ability to use Machamp Shove are the next milestones along the way, as you travel east from the Poni Wilds.

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 Ancient Poni Path

A short route with some curious looking buildings and a coastal breeze in the air, Ancient Poni Path is where you'll bump into Hapu once again, almost as soon as you arrive.

She'll introduce you to her grandmother, who lives in that builing just by the path, and registers Machamp Shove to your Ride Pager! This'll let you move large boulders, like 'Strength' did in previous Pokémon games, and will likely come in handy just ahead.

If you need healing, talk to the Miltank inside her house - which is worth exploring along with the rest of the route for a few items - and then when you're ready head south-east, to Poni Breaker Coast (and note that one item, TM55 Scald, is only available by doubling back from that next route).

TRAINERS POKEMON ITEMS

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 Poni Breaker Coast

Another black sand shore in the vein of Route 14, Poni Breaker Coast is a short route split between land and sea.

Blast through some rocks on the back of your Sharpedo to collect a few items, as well as a couple of hidden items that are available on the land. The sea plays home to some very rare Pokémon - there's a tiny chance to find a Lapras by surfing around the water, as well as Dragalge or Calwitzer (depending on your version) from splashing water and Relicanth from fishing spots.

Next up: Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon - Ruins of Hope, Exeggutor Island, Sun Flute, Moon Flute

There are also a couple of trainers here to take on, but otherwise this one's short-but-sweet. When you're ready, head east again to meet Hapu down at the Ruins of Hope.
