7
Grassy Training Field
Talk to Scorbunny to receive a request and a hint for the habitat, Grassy Training Field.
8 Collect sandbags near the workbench across the PC to create the Grassy Training Field habitat.

Note that placing a sandbag near the Red Tall Grass where Scorbunny lives will not create a Grassy Training Field. You need to place a second 2x2 patch of red grass and the two sandbags for it to work.

Follow Machoke
Follow Machoke and talk to him again to receive his request.

Hold down ZR to use the strengthened version of Leafage. Note that there is a limit to the number of times you can use this, so it is recommended to make a lot of salads.

15 Talk to Torkoal once it arrives to the Pokemon Center to receive the recipe for the Bread Oven.
16 Have 2 Stones, 2 Small Logs, and 4 Volcanic Ashes to create the Bread Oven. You can get Volcanic Ash by using Rock Smash at the black soil west of the Pokemon Center.

Place the Bread Oven and have Torkoal or Scorbunny light the fire on it.
17 Grow Wheat at the fields southwest of the map. Destroy the rocks that are blocking the water on the hill and this allows the water to flow. You can also grow wheat by using Water Gun to raise the water level.
18 Once you have three pieces of Wheat, inspect the Bread Oven and place three Wheat to make bread.
19 Eat the bread to strengthen your Cut move and allow you to cut through solid objects such as chains and wire mesh.

9 Use two copper utentsils at the workbench to create a Frying Pan. Report back to Chef Dente and place the Frying Pan on the stove.
10 Grow beans on the fields southwest of the map. If there is a waterway on the field used to grow wheat, beans will grow. Collect three Beans to make Simple Hamburger Steaks.
11 After collecting the Beans, return to the stove near Chef Dente and cook them to create a Simple Hamburger Steak.
12 Eat the Simple Hamburger Steak to strengthen your Rock Smash move. This allows you to destroy hard rocks.
13 Talk to Machoke and accept his request to receive a hint of a new habitat: Mossy Boulder.
14 Create the Mossy Boulder habitat in the cave with the hot spring. Place 4 moss around the mossy boulder.
15 Examine the swaying moss at the Mossy Boulder habitat to befriend Graveler. You will also receive the new Rollout move when you talk to him.
