Kubfu has evolved into Urshifu, and when visiting the Dojo, we get an unexpected visitor, it is Hop. We learn from Mustard that there is a special ingredient that we need in order for Urshifu to undergo Gigantamax, and it is up to me and Hop to find the secret ingredient, and it involves Pokémon that are related to flowers, and an island somewhere in the sea.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

It is time to continue on with the story, and this section can only be accessed after beating the main story, because we meet up with Hop at the Dojo, and we learn that there is a secret ingredient that we need in order for Urshifu to Gigantamax. Our first task is to find Pokémon that can create pollen or nectar, some examples being Lilligant and Applin. I do also like how Hop references The Crown Tundra, or at least Sonia being at a snowy area, so I do wonder if Sonia will be in The Crown Tundra once it comes out.
First up is Forest of Focus, and we get a quest, because there is a lost Petilil who is separated from its parents, and we have to find a Lilligant in the forest and escort it back to the lost Petilil. Then we have to find Applin, which will be in one of the berry trees. Hop then suggests we go to Honeycalm Island, which is where we can find a Pokémon called Vespiquen, which can provide us with the honey needed for Urshifu to Gigantamax.
Honeycalm Island is located in Honeycalm Sea, and it requires going through the Sharpedo infested sea in order to get there. This island is filled with Combee and Petilil, and I believe this is the first time we can encounter Petilil in the wild, despite Lilligant being available since Soothing Wetlands, and you can find Lilligant in the overworld as well.
Then we interact with a giant tree, and end up going up against a Dynamaxed Vespiquen in a Max Raid Battle, but by myself, so I recommend having a Rock-type Pokémon for this. Vespiquen has Max Knuckle to counter any Rock-types used against it, and the base move would be Revenge, as it is a Fighting-type move Vespiquen can learn, and it can also use Defend Order to boost its Defense and Special Defense. All the Max Raid Battles on Honeycalm Island will always have Combee or Vespiquen, but you can also find Chansey in the Max Raid Battles very rarely.
After defeating the Dynamaxed Vespiquen, you will be awarded with Max Honey, which is like a Max Revive in which it will revive a Pokémon fully if knocked out in battle. You will need Max Honey along with three Max Mushrooms in order for Urshifu to be able to Gigantamax. There is a chance that any Combee or Vespiquen Max Raid Battles will give you Max Honey, but you do get a lot of Honey for doing these Max Raid Battles, and in this game, Honey is treated as a treasure item, not something that can lure in a Wild Pokémon like Sweet Scent used to in previous games.
