Harsholme Walkthrough

This article serves as a guide for players who are stuck and seeking to progress through the Harsholme Region. This article contains spoilers. For the best experience, it is recommended that players play through the region for themselves first and reference this page only when they are stuck. For an extra short walkthrough, go to Harsholme Walkthrough (bullet points).
== Introduction ==
Once Harsholme loads, you are asked if you'd like to play as Phyre (female) or Ortho (male). You can change this later. Make your selection, and you'll be taken to the introductory scene.
=== Home ===
Your dad greets you as you wake up late in the morning, and you look at a postcard from Harsholme in front of you. Dad calls for your mum to explain the significance of the postcard to you, and tells you it came from Lund. She scolds you for being a 25 year old who sleeps in and doesn't leave the house instead of going on adventures like you used to before she informs you about the postcard and Lund. Turns out Lund is an old friend from school who owns the island of Harsholme. Your mum thinks you should visit him and his island to get you out of the house and active, so she plans to buy you a ferry ticket and call Lund to make arrangements for your arrival. Mum tells you to start packing your bag, because going to Harsholme is not optional. As she leaves you to pack, she reminds you to pack your Running Shoes, which you use by holding down the X button.

== Ferry Port ==
As you reach the coast of Lonava, you see Harsholme Island stretching across the horizon. You also see a group of boats moored at a beach and head down to them. 
Speak to the uniformed man on the left, the Ticket Man, and he'll tell you that the ferry service isn't running due to Harsholme's northern lighthouse not working. Unless you can find someone brave or reckless enough to carry you across the channel, you're unable to visit Harsholme at this time. Now go to the right side of the dock and talk to the guy with the ellipsis above his head, and you'll meet just such a brave or reckless man. Set sail for Harsholme! 
During the voyage, he reveals his name is Endellion, and he tells you about himself, his grandfather, and his friend in the Coast Guard, who happens to be one of Lund's children. He also gives you some basic information about Harsholme. 
== Harsholme Harbour ==
The pair of you soon reach Harsholme Harbour, situated on Harsholme's south coast and site of the Southern Sea Beacon. This is the island's main port, where people typically first set foot upon the island and where people usually leave the island from. As a part of Harsholme Island, it is a designated Marine Conservation Zone, but unfortunately Trash from other parts of the world tends to wash up on its shores.

After you disembark, head towards the nearby storage shed. To the right of the shed you'll see a woman and a man standing together. The woman has a flashing exclamation point above her head; go speak to her. Tell her what pronouns you want others to refer to you by. Talk to her anytime you want to change your pronouns. If you want to change what character you're playing as, Ortho or Phyre, then speak to the man standing next to her. 
=== People with "?" Icons Overhead ===
On the right side of the docks are two people with question marks above their heads. The sailor on the pier extending southwards wants you to bring him a Sealver. He'll trade you the Chalker standing next to him for it. Meanwhile the golden haired lady on the far east pier, the DJ Simisola, is upset because she lost a USB stick containing the instructions for some new TMs she's planning to make, and she's worried that delaying the release of these TMs will hurt her business. She wants you to find the USB stick and bring it back to her quickly. 
Throughout your Harsholme adventure, you will encounter many people with question marks over their heads like this. These people offer you small quests. They'll give you various items or services in exchange for showing or giving them specific objects or mons they request. The rewards for completion are rare and valuable; it's recommended that you take time to complete these tasks despite most of them being optional. 
=== Meet Lund! ===
As soon as you step off the wooden pier onto dry land, a man in a knit cap turns around and greets you. He introduces himself as Lund, caretaker and owner of Harsholme Island, and the man you saw on the postcard. After apologizing for the ferry service closure due to his son taking precautions, he gives you your first partner pokémon: a level 5 Bulbite! 
Bulbite aren't native to Harsholme, but nevertheless his daughter found this particular Bulbite in poor condition on the Southern Sea Beacon this morning. Lund asks you to take care of Bulbite for him, gives you 10 Poké Balls, and requests that you bring Bulbite and a spare lens to the Northern Sea Beacon and its keeper, Leoht. He thinks Bulbite could serve as a makeshift bulb for the lighthouse while the lens is being replaced, that way the sea beacon can continue to operate during the repair process. 
However, Lund says you'll need a Trail Kit before you leave the Harbour. He'll give you a spare one if you collect 10 Cliff Feathers for him. Seagulp are common encounters in the Harbour's tall grass, and they're guaranteed to drop a Cliff Feather when defeated or caught. Before you run off to fight Seagulp, Lund tells you to visit the big building to the left, the Harbour Inn, and check in. 
=== Harbour Inn ===
In front of the Inn stands a uniformed man with a stylized F over his head. This is an Island Guide; you'll see many of them as you explore Harsholme, and they offer some useful services. Right now he only can help you leave Harsholme for another region, but later these Island Guides will be able to sell you supplies and help you fast travel to certain locations on the island.
Nearby is a woman with a question mark above her head. She'll give you "something really cool" if you show her that you've fished up 30 pieces of Trash from the sea. This is able to be done with a Shallow Water Rod, which you can acquire soon. Unfortunately it'll take awhile for you to gather 30 pieces since it's rare. If you're patient and devote yourself to the task, then you'll be rewarded with your choice of either a shiny Bluboon or a shiny Balanoral! Whichever one you choose will have its Hidden Ability and an Egg Move.
After that, she challenges you to fish up a whopping 150 pieces of Trash! If you accomplish this feat, then she'll reward you with a pokémon not native to Harsholme which is currently only obtainable by this method. It'll have perfect IVs and its Hidden Ability.
Inside the Inn, speak to the Nurse at the front desk. She welcomes you, checks you in, and informs you that if you want to rest and heal your mons or purchase supplies then you should talk to her.

The Inn offers a couple other services. In the northwest corner of the lobby stands a desk with a PC you can use to access your Pokémon Storage Boxes. To the left of the stairs leading to the rest of the Inn is a booth you can enter to change your outfit.
You can go upstairs and enter the rightmost door to find a TM (Return).
Once you've checked in and done everything else you want to do inside, leave the Inn.
=== Southern Sea Beacon (optional) ===
Next to the rear of the Inn you'll see some stairs leading up to the Southern Sea Beacon. While there's not much to do at the Southern Sea Beacon itself at this time, you can obtain some good items around the area of the beacon if you want.
If you're short on cash, speak to the old woman southwest of the sea beacon. As thanks for listening to her for awhile, she'll let you know that you're standing on a hidden item: a Big Nugget!
Inside the lighthouse, look to the left of the palm tree next to the entrance to find a TM (Cuddle). You can explore the first 3 floors of the building, but if you try to go up the ladder on the 3rd floor, Severn, Lund's daughter and the keeper of the Southern Sea Beacon, will tell you from the 4th floor to come back later because she's not in the mood to entertain any guests at the present time.
When you're finished exploring everything inside and around the Harbour Inn and the Southern Sea Beacon, return to where you left Lund and head north.
=== Meet Olden! ===
When you travel north from Lund's location, a woman in a knit cap standing next to a gap in the fence will accost you. She introduces herself as Lund's wife and the driver of the ferry that normally transports people across the channel. With the ferry currently not operational, she challenges you to a battle in the meantime as her way of welcoming you to Harsholme.
After you defeat her, she'll heal your team. Continue north and then east.
=== Obtain the Shallow Water Rod and the Trail Kit ===
North of Olden is a flower wagon, and east of that is an NPC with a "?" over her head standing between a lamppost and a pokémon. Talk to her and she'll tell you she came to Harsholme to do some Shallow Water Fishing, and she offers to give you your very own Shallow Water Rod in exchange for 10 Tiny Leaves. She hints that Crabbage drop them. Crabbage is a common encounter in the tall grass, and they drop a Tiny Leaf every time you defeat or catch one.
Remember that you also need to collect 10 Cliff Feathers from Seagulp for Lund, so go into the tall grass to the right and gather 10 Tiny Leaves and 10 Cliff Feathers accordingly. While you're in the tall grass you may also encounter Shrude. Shrude are worth fighting if you want more money, because sometimes they'll drop a Nugget or even a Big Nugget. Once you're done, return to Lund and hand over the feathers to him. Lund gives you a Trail Kit, which you'll need to venture beyond the Harbour, and he throws in a Box Link as well. The Box Link allows you to access your PC boxes on the go. Finally, he gives you 10 Fresh Waters, and lets you know he just heard from Olden that the Ferry's been permitted to leave the port again. You'll notice that Olden's no longer standing by the gap in the fence to the north; she's gone to the middle of the southward-extending piers where the Ferry's docked at. She also has a stylized "F" icon overhead; speak to her whenever you want to leave the region.
Now return to the NPC by the lamppost and give her the leaves. She presents you with a Shallow Water Rod, and tells you to use it in the darker patches of water on the beach. Suddenly Endellion hollers at you, exclaiming that he saw you get a fishing rod and to let him know if you want to go sea fishing sometime. If you go back to where his boat's moored and speak to him, he'll take you to Shallowstone Bay, where you can catch some aquatic mons that you can't encounter in the Harbour.
== Shallowstone Bay (optional) ==
Shallowstone Bay is a small area with not much to do, but it's a good place to try to add some new and interesting members to your party via fishing. Visit during the night and you'll encounter different species than you'll find during the day due to them hiding from the hungry bird mons that patrol the area in the daytime. This is also a good place to fish for Trash since you won't be forced to battle any Burreel with the Arena Trap ability. You can also talk with Endellion about a variety of subjects while you're here. When you're tired of fishing and conversing with him, ask him to go back to Harsholme Harbour.

== Harsholme Harbour (continued) ==
From the NPC who gives you the Shallow Water Rod, head east through the tall grass and battle Swimmer Poniou. Continue east through another patch of tall grass until you arrive at a blue sign shaped like a poké ball. This is a pokéstop; if you check it you'll find some useful supplies for your journey. Most major areas in Harsholme have a pokéstop location, so look out for them. 
After you've stopped at the pokéstop, keep going east and ascend the stairs. If you want a little extra pocket change, head north, battle Swimmer Dunmere, and enter the cave. You'll arrive on a peninsula covered in tall grass below where you were, and at the end of it you can pick up a Stardust. 
Return through the cave and head east, then climb up the switchback, battling Tuber Crelly on the way. At the top you'll see two cave entrances; the left one will take you to the beach via Submerged Path, and the right one will take you to Harsholme Heath if you're ready to go there.
If you take the left one, you'll emerge at the top of a series of ledges with another cave entrance midway down. Be careful not to descend the ledges too quickly, or else you'll fall off a ledge that you can't climb back up. The lower cave is the entrance to Submerged Path.
== Submerged Path (optional) ==
The cavern known as Submerged Path is short, narrow, and dark, and part of it is flooded by seawater.
If you have your Bulbite in your party, and if it's reached level 7 and learned Flash, then you'll be asked if you want to use Flash upon entering Submerged Path. The cave is simple enough to navigate that you don't need it, but it's nice to have anyway.
Head west then south, and you'll arrive at a pool of water. If you have the Shallow Water Rod, you can use it here to encounter Aukward, a bird pokémon that an NPC on the beach ahead wants you to show him. Take some time to catch an Aukward now if you don't want to backtrack.
South of the pond, the cave opens up. Stick to the west wall and you'll reach some stairs descending to a tidal pool. Before you go down them, navigate over to the east side of the cave to find a TM (Disarming Voice). Go back to the stairs, descend them, and cross the tidal pool to exit the cave onto the beach.

=== Beach ===
Ah, the beach, a lovely place to play and relax. It also has a couple trainers for you to gain experience from and several useful items for you to pick up. This is also the only place in Harsholme where you can encounter Druidune in its Mainland Form.
To the southeast you'll spot a small square patch of sand; pick up the hidden Sea Incense from the center of it. Go back north and to the west and loop around the raised land with the cave you exited from to collect a Soft Sand from the north side. Go back west and climb up some stairs leading to a Tuber, a bird's nest, and another item. Battle Tuber Creed, grab the TM (Swift) he was guarding, and go back down to the beach, then speak to the Birdkeeper with a "?" above his head. 
==== EV Reducing Candies for Sale ====
He wants to see a certain bird that he remembers the appearance of but not its name. If you caught an Aukward while fishing in Submerged Path, then show it to him. He expresses his gratitude by giving you a Fruit Punch Candy, a valuable EV training item that resets all of a pokémon's EVs to zero. After this he'll sell you any number of EV reducing candies that you want.
Candies
Item	Item 	Price
 	Fruit Punch Candy	9,800
 	Grepa Candy 	4,800
 	Hondew Candy 	4,800
 	Kelpsy Candy 	4,800
 	Pomeg Candy 	4,800
 	Qualot Candy 	4,800
 	Tamato Candy 	4,800
Head northwest from the candy selling Birdkeeper and battle Swimmer Amalveor, then continue west around the north side of an isolated landmass to grab a Full Heal. Loop back around the landmass to the stairs leading on top of it, ascend the stairs, and look into the bird's nest to find a hidden Great Ball. Descend back down to the beach and go west then north, and ascend the stairs here to arrive back on the main path through the Harbour area.
You've done all you want to do or can do here, so now it's time to progress to the Heath. Make your way back to the far east side of the Harbour, up the switchback to the plateau with the two cave entrances at each end. This time, take the cave on the right and proceed to the Heath. Before you can reach the cave entrance, however, a man halts you and checks to make sure you're equipped to travel deeper into Harsholme. Once he approves you, pick up the Potions next to the cave and enter it.
***Untested: Is the Shallow Water Rod needed to progress to the Heath?
