Route 15 (Japanese: 15番水道 Sea Route 15) is a route on Alola's Ula'ula Island connecting Route 16 and Tapu Village. It houses the Aether House.

Route description

Route 15 is a route consisting mostly of water and small islands. Due to the rocks littering the route, Ride Sharpedo is required to fully explore the area, which can be provided to the player by Grimsley, a former member of the Unova region's Elite Four. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, one of the islands has a construction site on it. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the same spot now houses a Mantine Surf Association building. Also in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player briefly encounters Guzma here during Mina's trial.

Special encounters

Pokémon Ultra Moon

On the northern shore of Route 15, the player can find a young boy building a sandcastle. If the player volunteers to help him, the sandcastle will be revealed to be a Sandygast possessing the boy and attack the player. After the Sandygast is caught, defeated, or fled from, it will leave behind a pouch of Stardust. It is coded to never be Shiny.
