Location
Fly to the Fallshore City Pokemon Center and go west.

Approach the northwest exit of the city and continue following the linear path forward.

You’ll eventually climb stairs to enter Route 10, indicating you’re on the right path.

Start going south after crossing the first blue bridge on the route.

The path south will shortly run out. When it does, start surfing west on the water.

Continue on the path west and you’ll see the Macho Brace Upgrade NPC standing next to a tree on a small patch of land. He’s visible shortly after swimming past the top of a waterfall.
