Quick Guide
- Challenge the city’s Gym Leader, Wallace, to earn the 8th Gym Badge.
- Leave Sootopolis City and head west along Route 128.
- Use HM05 Waterfall to scale the large waterfall and reach Ever Grande City.
Sootopolis City
Now that the weather has returned to normal, take some time to explore the houses in Sootopolis City and talk to its residents. You can discover some useful items along the way (items listed in a table below).
Also, if you have a Dragon-type Pokémon in your party there’s a move tutor who can teach it Draco Meteor.
But most importantly:
The city gym is now open again.
So the only thing left to do in Sootopolis is challenge Wallace and earn the eighth and final Gym Badge. If you’re looking for the Gym, surf towards the island located at the city’s center.

After you defeat him you’ll receive the Rain Badge and HM05 Waterfall. Additionally, the Rain Badge allows you to use the move Waterfall anytime outside of battle.
Leaving for Ever Grande City
After obtaining the final Gym Badge, your next stop is Ever Grande City.
