You can develop both the Bleak Beach or Rocky Ridges areas at the same time after reaching the Great Trainer Rank in Pokemon Pokopia. Read on to learn if you should go to Bleak Beach or Rocky Ridges, the benefits of going to each area, and how to unlock them.
List of Contents

Ultimately, the choice will be based on gameplay preference, as you can still explore and develop the area that you did not choose first. You can progress the storylines of each area simultaneously without any consequences.

Progressing through the Rocky Ridges storyline first will give you earlier access to Rollout and the Smelting Furnace.
Rollout can help you move around and break blocks faster. This can be learned by befriending Graveler.
On the other hand, the Smelting Furnace can turn your ore items into ingots.

Progressing through the Bleak Beach storyline first will give you earlier access to iron ore. They can be obtained through destroying certain debris in the overworld or giving Trubbish nonburnable garbage.
You will need iron ore to create utility poles. These can be connected to certain power sources in order to power items that need electricity. Iron ore is also needed to create iron ingots, though you will need the Smelting Furnace in order to obtain them.

You will need to increase your Trainer Rank to Great in order to unlock Bleak Beach and Rocky Ridges. To do this, you will need to progress the story by completing the Yawn up a storm! request.
After completing the request, you will meet Kyogre and increase your rank.

Once you have increased your Trainer Rank, go to one of the green gates found in the area. After scanning your Pokedex, you may go through the gates and visit the new area.

The gate to Bleak Beach is found to the east of Withering Wasteland. It is in the area with the cliffs near the small vegetable field.

The gate to Rocky Ridges is found to the west of the area. It is found within the dark cave that is by the sea.
