Paniola Ranch consists of multiple areas separated by fences and ramps. These areas include Moomoo Paddock, a fenced-in pasture for tending farmland Pokémon, such asTauros andMiltank. While several of these Pokémon can be seen in this area, they can only be encountered in thewild in other parts of Paniola Ranch. However, theplayer can obtainStoutland as aRide Pokémon here, enabling them to use Stoutland Search. Moomoo Paddock sits in the western part of Paniola Ranch and can be accessed from the dirt road that connects toPaniola Town in the south. A small pond with a waterfall sits along the western edge of Paniola Ranch within Moomoo Paddock.
The western dirt road also connects to a maze-like area of browntall grass and earthen ramps in the middle of Paniola Ranch's southern edge. Fences and hay bales create barriers throughout this area, forcing the player to navigate through the grass and over the southernmost ramp to cross from one side of Paniola Ranch to the other. The eastern part of this maze area opens onto thePokémon Nursery and a small, fenced area containing hay bales and farm equipment.
East of the Pokémon Nursery lies a junction with another dirt road. Following that road to the north leads toRoute 5, and following it to the south leads toRoute 6. Along the fence running up the northern dirt road, between the hay bales and the windmill, is aPoké Finder spot, where different Pokémon appear depending on the game andtime of day.
The Pokémon Nursery is located near the junction at the eastern end of the ranch. Similar to thePokémon Day Cares found in otherregions, theplayer may leave two Pokémon in the Nursery to producePokémon Eggs. Unlike the Day Cares, however, Pokémon that are left here will not level up, and the cost for retrieving a Pokémon is always$500.
