Walkthrough

Each transformation is tied to befriending a particular Pokémon, so use the move record’s unlock before planning a route. Squirtle teaches Water Gun, while Bulbasaur teaches Leafage.
Match the tool to the obstruction: Cut handles grass and trees, Rock Smash handles rocks, and Rototiller prepares soil. Surf comes from Lapras in Bleak Beach; Glide comes from Dragonite in Sparkling Skylands. The later Magnet Rise transformation has its own post-story unlock.
Moves spend PP, so carry food or rest before a long clearing job. After Chef Dente teaches cooking, a suitable meal powers up its associated move temporarily. The boosted move has a separate PP meter; a meal is a preparation choice, not a permanent upgrade.

Move	Unlock or use
Water Gun	Squirtle in Withered Wastelands; hydrate terrain.
Surf	Lapras in Bleak Beach; travel on water.
Rollout	Graveler in Rocky Ridges; fast travel and breaking rocks.
Glide	Dragonite in Sparkling Skylands; glide while airborne.
Magnet Rise	Magnemite after the story; fly and work with blocks.

Situation	What to check
A move is unavailable or slow	Check that its Pokémon has been befriended; replenish PP if its use has slowed.
A stronger obstruction resists a basic move	Prepare the matching cooked meal and try the powered-up transformation.
