Route 6 is a rocky, ladder-filled route joining Hammerlocke to Stow-on-Side, in your quest through Pokémon Sword and Shield's main story.

On each page of our walkthrough like this, we'll cover any and all of the obtainable Pokémon, item locations, trainers and their teams that you might come across here, as well as walking you through any key steps of the story, puzzles or challenges along the way.

Where applicable, note that our walkthrough pages will be down into separate sections referring to each of your visits to a given location, seeing as you often backtrack or revisit various places in your quest to become Galar League Champion. And of course if there are any, we'll clearly mark any spoilers, too!

For more explainers, meanwhile, or walkthrough pages on more locations in Sword and Shield, head back to our main Pokémon Sword and Shield walkthrough and guide hub.

Pokémon Sword and Shield: Route 6 Pokémon, items and trainers

Entering Route 6, across the bridge from Hammerlocke, you'll be blocked once more by Team Yell, who are weirdly concerned about a random Silicobra.

Hop turns up, but Yell still won't let you through because apparently you're too loud and might wake it up, which is ironic given the racket they tend to make. Give them a battle and they'll buzz off, with Silicobra unharmed, and then an old lady called Opal will appear and give you her League Card - turns out she's the Gym Leader up in Ballonlea!

With that all done and dusted, it's time to head on through the route. There are a few different paths you can take here - in the form of ladders up and down different levels - so make sure you explore every nook and cranny to collect all the items and Pokémon we've listed below.

Finally, there's also a person called Cara Liss, by the campsite, who's researching fossils. Come to her with two different fossils and she'll splice them back to life in the form of a proper Pokémon, which is neat!
