Route 2

Route 2 is a seaside path connecting the southern and northern parts of Melemele Island and serves as a training area for many local Trainers. A motel is situated near the southern end of the route, while a Pokémon Center is located near its northern end. The northern end is initially blocked off by a barricade, which are moved aside once the player has cleared Ilima's trial at the Verdant Cavern. Team Skull Boss Guzma's home is located on this route. During the post-game of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player can find Guzma at his house and talk to him. Doing so makes him challenge the player to a battle at the Hau'oli City Beachfront, where he then moves to in order to wait for their arrival.
