Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Resolution Cave

Kept out of sight until the credits roll, this shadowed cave only matters once the main story ends. It is where Alola's final Ultra Beast mission leads, sending trainers deep to corner one of the region's toughest quarries.

Resolution Cave is in Alola. In the story you arrive from Poni Meadow to the west and it comes before Plains Grotto.

Resolution Cave Guide

  • Guzzlord moved out to Ultra Ruin, one of the wormhole worlds you reach by Ultra Warp Ride. Resolution Cave now holds a level 60 Zygarde in its 50 percent forme, carrying Aura Break.

  • A cutscene shows it entering once the Elite Four are beaten and you are Champion. Walk into Resolution Cave before that and there's nothing waiting.
