Alola Route 1

There are two paths in this part of Route 1, which both start in Hau'oli Outskirts and lead the player up a hill: The eastern path overlooks Kala'e Bay, and the western one starts between the player's house and the nearby Pokémon Center. These paths converge at the top of the hill, south of an entrance to Route 3. After they converge, the unified path curves towards a set of wooden stairs on this area's northern edge that allows the player to enter Iki Town.

The player first enters this area on the western path. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player enters with Professor Kukui and receives their starter. (In Pokémon Sun and Moon, starter Pokémon are available in Iki Town.) Until the start of the festival in Iki Town, any wild Pokémon caught in a Poké Ball here will be unable to break out.

Until the player completes Ilima's trial in Verdant Cavern, a gate will block the entrance from Route 1 proper to Route 3. Completing that trial allows the player to access Route 3 either from here or from Route 2 near Verdant Cavern.

An isolated part of this area, which includes a different set of wild Pokémon, is blocked by rocks on its northern edge (near where the paths converge) and by a ledge on its eastern edge. Once the player has completed Hala's grand trial, this part of Route 1 becomes accessible using Tauros Charge.

This area of Route 1 is named for its proximity to Hau'oli City, which lies to the west of this area and can be accessed from the northwestern part of Hau'oli Outskirts. That part has a similar appearance to Hau'oli City: It includes a wide, paved road, gates leading to patches of tall grass, and urban buildings (such as the Trainers' School).

The player's house is located in the northeastern part of Hau'oli Outskirts. The player begins in their room in the house, which (unlike in earlier games) has only one story. The house's rooms and porch open onto the central family room and kitchen, where the player's mother and her (Kantonian) Meowth spend the majority of the game.

When the player first exits the house and triggers the conversation with Professor Kukui, the Professor brings the player up the western path to Route 1 proper and on to Iki Town. Following the festival in Iki Town, Lillie will bring the player to Professor Kukui's lab, which is on the beach in the southernmost part of this area. The entrance to Ten Carat Hill lies to the west of the Professor's lab, though it requires Tauros Charge to access. Once the player can use Lapras Paddle, they can get to the eastern Melemele Sea from this beach.

The player will receive the Rotom Pokédex from Professor Kukui in his lab. After doing so, the player can access the northwestern part of Hau'oli Outskirts, which includes the first Pokémon Center the player encounters on Melemele Island and the Trainers' School.

Sometimes, after smashing breakable rocks with Tauros Charge, items can be found in the debris.

Main article: Pokémon Center Café

At the Pokémon Center Café, the owner will give the player two gifts the first time they buy a drink each day: a special treat and a dozen Poké Beans.

He will also give the player a Rare Candy if they have fed certain amounts of Poké Beans to their Pokémon.

The wild Pokémon that may be encountered vary between different fields of grass.

Prior to the start of the festival in Iki Town, wild Pokémon cannot break out of Poké Balls thrown at them here.

In The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl, Sun transported Moon to Route 1 so that she could deliver a Rotom to Professor Kukui. At his house, Kukui told the two Trainers that he had needed Rotom in order to complete Sun's Pokédex, but due to Sun having carelessly mishandled the device, Rotom refused to enter it.
