Head to the West Area of Withered Wasteland

To the west of the Whithering Wasteland Pokemon center is a stack of blocks that you will have to break with Rock Smash. Once that area is cleared, you may go forward until you reach the sea, and then turn left until you see the broken bridge.

In order to get to the other side, you will need a path to walk on. Bring blocks from your inventory in order to create a bridge to safely cross the gap.

Play With GameShare

GameShare Limited to Palette Town

GameShare is a feature that allows you to share the game for free with another console. This is a multiplayer option you can opt for if you are playing with someone who does not own the game, whether they have a Switch 1 or Switch 2.

Palette Town is the only location in the game where you can play with GameShare. If you have friends who do not have the game, you can play together with them here.
