There are a number of gates around the city that lead into and out of patches filled with tall grass. Prior to defeating Ilima, there are a number of gates which the player cannot use due to wet paint.

Alola Photo Club

Main article: Alola Photo Club

The Alola Photo Club only appears in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It allows the player to take photos with their Pokémon.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, after the player completes Olivia's grand trial, during the day, they can watch a Bewear costume show that teaches children the dangers of Bewear's immense strength. However, the show is quickly interrupted by a real Bewear, who scares the other viewers before attacking the player. If they successfully defeat or capture it, the girl who narrated the show will give the player a Max Potion in gratitude.

Gracidea

The mall store Gracidea is named after the Gracidea flower, which a clerk will give to the player as a free gift. The store only sells the most expensive fashion items. It offers tops, shoes, bags, and eyewear, as well as hats and hair accessories for female players.

Left clerk
Right clerk

If the player scans the appropriate QR Code after becoming Champion, they can obtain a Magearna, which is delivered here.

Move Tutors

To the left of Antiquities of the Ages, there is a booth with two Move Tutors. The Move Tutor on the right will teach Grass Pledge, Fire Pledge, or Water Pledge to any evolutionary form of first partner Pokémon, as well as Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, and their evolutions. In addition, in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, Grass Pledge can also be taught to Silvally. The Move Tutor on the left will teach Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, or Hydro Cannon to the fully-evolved form of first partner Pokémon. Both Move Tutors will teach these moves only if the Pokémon's friendship is as high as possible.

Battle Buffet
Main article: Battle Buffet

The Battle Buffet is located in the center of the mall's upper level. To dine, the player will have to pay a fee of $1,200. The player is given 10 turns of battle to get as many dishes possible, battling for each one. At the end, the waitress will assess the player's satisfaction and give them an item depending on that assessment.

The player can only dine at the Battle Buffet once a day.

Ilima's house

Ilima lives in Hau'oli City. If the player enters his room on the second floor after defeating Kahuna Hala in the Melemele grand trialSM or becoming ChampionUSUM, he will bring the player to the Trainers' School on Route 1 and battle against the player there. He will then bring the player back to his room and give them an Everstone.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if the player revisits Ilima after defeating him, he will give the player a piece of Normalium Z to be delivered to Totem's Den in Verdant Cavern. Bringing the Z-Crystal to Totem's Den will trigger a rematch with Verdant Cavern's Totem Pokémon.

Hau'oli City Hall

The Hau'oli City Hall is located in the Shopping District, south of the local Pokémon Center. Its motto is "Serving the city's every need!". Clerks working here deal with the process of moving to the region, amongst other things.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, after clearing Hala's grand trial, the player will encounter a woman arguing with her grandfather, Gentleman Reginald, over her fiancé. The granddaughter will ask the player to battle Reginald to help her prove a point. After defeating him, the player will receive a Nugget.

Hau'oli Police Station

The Hau'oli Police Station is located in the Shopping District, on the way to the Marina. There is a police vehicle parked in its backyard.

After defeating Olivia in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can assist Ilima in the interrogation of three wild Hypno, one of which knocked out the Machamp that guards his house and stole the Nugget hidden in his room. After picking one of the Hypno, that Hypno will attack the player, who they must defeat or capture. Each Hypno has a different moveset that could be related to the crime. After the battle, Ilima will solve the mystery, and give the player a Big Nugget for their trouble.

Malasada shop

Main article: Malasada

The city's malasada shop is located in the Shopping District, on the way to the Marina. It is famous for its malasadas, which are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

The Melemele Ferry Terminal is located in the Marina.

The player can take the ferry to Heahea City once they meet Olivia at Akala Island. The player can take the ferry to Aether Paradise once they visit Ula'ula Island.

After battling Gladion at Aether House, but before battling Lusamine at Aether Paradise, the ferry is undergoing maintenance and cannot be taken.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, the vending machine is initially out of order. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, it is fixed after Hala's grand trial is completed; in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Rotom from the player's Rotom Pokédex can enter and fix it after Hala's grand trial is completed.

In the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version, ferries cannot be boarded and the vending machine is sold out.

Hau'oli City in the anime

Ash, Delia, Pikachu, and Mimey first arrived into Hau'oli City by plane in Alola to New Adventure!. There, they enjoyed some of Melemele Island's best tourist attractions, including a Ride Tauros taxi and Sharpedo jet ski.

Hau'Oli City features a multitude of popular eateries that offer tourists and locals an array of gourmet and sweet options. They include Aina's Kitchen, run by Mallow and her father; and a pancake house where Nina works. Team Rocket also began working in a Malasada shop in A Shocking Grocery Run! to remain undetected while they plotted to capture Pikachu. They later upgraded their operation to a van, and in Sours for the Sweet, Team Rocket's honey-glazed Malasadas were shown to be quite popular with customers.

Hau'oli City also hosts many annual events, including the Alola Bread Festival and the starting point of the Pokémon Pancake Race.

Hau'oli City's fruit market

Anela, a recurring character and fruit stall owner in Hau'oli City's marketplace, first appeared in First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!. Ash and Professor Kukui first met her in That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!‬, and learned of Litten's backstory. Litten had been living on Hau'oli City's streets alongside a wild, aging Stoutland for quite some time. Stoutland suddenly disappeared, leaving Litten alone in One Journey Ends, Another Begins.... It eventually turned to Ash, and after a battle, he caught Litten.

An Alolan Persian, nicknamed Pershie (Japanese: ペルちゃん Per-chan), debuted in That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!‬. While it is under the ownership of a Madame, it tends to wander Hau'oli's streets and has a fierce rivalry with Ash's Litten. It reappeared in Dummy, You Shrunk the Kids!, where it chased down a shrunken Ash, Lillie, and Sophocles, but was later defeated by Mallow's Tsareena.

In A Shocking Grocery Run!, Ash and Sophocles visited the local shopping mall. Team Rocket caused a power outage and triggered the mall's security system, which trapped everyone inside. After confronting Team Rocket, Rotom guided Ash and Sophocles to the power supply room and they were able to restore the mall's electricity supply.

In The Shape of Love to Come!, Ash, Kukui, and Professor Burnet first met Mina and her Ribombee while shopping in Hau'oli City. She was able to translate Poipole's drawings, which revealed it was on an unknown mission.

In The Long Vault Home!, Viren had recently started preparations for his namesake boutique hotel and restaurant development, Viren Tower, in Hau'oli City. A Stakataka decided to move itself to the construction site, where it was initially mistaken for a pedestal for Viren's golden statue of himself. The Ultra Guardians were eventually able to calm Stakataka down before catching it, but Viren's statue was partially crushed in the process. Afterwards, Viren decided to scrap his Viren Tower plans for something more ambitious, a Pokémon Base Stadium with its own team. Viren Tower and Stadium were revealed to have been completed in Living on the Cutting Edge!.

Pokémon Adventures

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc

Hau'oli City first appeared in The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun. Moon traveled to Hau'oli City from Sinnoh to deliver a Rotom to Professor Kukui. While on the Beachfront, Moon met Sun, a boy who was doing part-time work throwing wild Pyukumuku back into the sea, his goal being to amass one million dollars by any means possible. His employers, Team Skull, tried to cheat their way out of paying him, though they were exposed by Moon. After agreeing to help deliver Rotom, Sun transported Moon through Hau'oli City, where she met some of the city's residents.

In Thieving and Boss Crabominable, Olivia and Nanu arrived at the Marina, departing to their respective islands to help deal with the threat of Ultra Beasts.
