Request 1: Wurmple Can Evolve

Guardsman Beauregard in front of Galaxy Hall

In Jubilife Village, talk to Beauregard in front of Galaxy Hall. He had heard Professor Laventon mention that Pokémon can evolve, which is the ability of Pokémon to significantly change and get stronger. You can evolve your own Pokémon when they're strong enough from the satchel menu.

He asks you to catch a Wurmple for him to evolve, which you can easily find in the Obsidian Fieldlands. You can find Wurmple near Aspiration Hill, Floaro Gardens, Horseshoe Plains, The Heartwood, or through massive mass outbreaks.

Once you catch a Wurmple, return to Jubilife Village and talk to Beauregard to give it to him. You can select the Wurmple from your pastures, so you don't need it in your party. You will give up the Wurmple permanently, with no way to return it or exchange it for another.

When you give him the Wurmple, he's aware that it can evolve into the Pokémon, Beautifly, so he wants your pick of 3 Beautifly-related nicknames: Beauticia, Beautifred, or Beaugene. He can't wait to raise his Wurmple to become a beautiful Beautifly! He hands you 3 Dazzling Honeys as a reward.

1	Wurmple Can Evolve	Beauregard	Beauregard of the Security Corps heard about Evolution from the professor, and now Beauregard wants to evolve a Wurmple of his own. You need to catch one for him. [note 1]	Catch a Wurmple to give to Beauregard.	Dazzling Honey ×3	Jubilife Village: Floaro Main Street (in front of Galaxy Hall)	Complete Mission 3: "The Basics of Crafting"

Request 2: Adorable Starly

Marli in front of the general store

In Jubilife Village, talk to Marli, a lady in a green Kimono in front of the general store. She admits to being afraid of Pokémon, but can't help but feel infatuated with Starly.

She asks you to show her Starly's completed Pokédex entry. You can find Starly throughout many places in the Obsidian Fieldlands, but the easiest place to find them is on Aspiration Hill.

As learned in Section 2 of this walkthrough, you need to fulfill a certain number of research tasks to complete its Pokedéx entry. This includes catching multiple Starly, catching them without being seen, defeating them in battle, getting multiple forms, or evolving them. (Catching multiple and evolving them both give double points, as shown by the red arrows.)

Once you complete enough research tasks to complete its entry, return to Jubilife Village and talk to Marli again. She reads through the entry and points out Starly's gender differences. She thanks you for letting her learn about it, and she just might have the courage to be able to touch one.

She asks you to show her a Starly. You can select a Starly from your pastures, so you don't need it in your party.

She admires the Starly, and you offer to let her pet it. However, the courage quickly disappears, and she instead runs back a few feet away. She thanks you for showing her Starly anyways, and letting her read the Pokédex entry did help put her at ease. She hands you 10 Poké Balls for helping her.

Poké Ball ×10	Jubilife Village: Floaro Main Street (in front of the general store)	Complete Mission 3: "The Basics of Crafting"

Request 3: What Did Shinx's Ears Look Like?

Toshi in front of the photography studio

In Jubilife Village, talk to Toshi, a man in a purple outfit in front of the photography studio. He knows that Shinx has markings on its ears, but he struggles to remember what exactly they look like.

He asks you to show him a Shinx, so that he can see its ears. This request is immediately completable, because you had just caught a Shinx in the trial to become a member of the Survey Corps.

Talk to Toshi to show him a Shinx. You can select a Shinx from your pastures, so you don't need it in your party.

When you show him the Shinx, he remembers that its ears have a cross pattern like a star! He's relieved that he now knows what a Shinx's ears look like, and gives you 3 Potions for helping him out.

Catch a Shinx to show to Toshi	Potion ×3	Jubilife Village: Floaro Main Street (in front of the photography studio)	Complete Mission 3: "The Basics of Crafting"

Request 4: Big Buizel, Little Buizel

Guardsman Dorian in front of the seaside gate

Head to the seaside gate of Jubilife Village, the south gate where you first came from. Talk to Dorian, one of the guardsmen. He had heard from Professor Laventon that Pokémon can be different sizes, but can't really believe it until he sees a side-by-side comparison.

He asks you to catch him a Buizel that is larger than his: one that is 2'8" or larger. You can see a caught Pokémon's exact height by going to the Satchel menu or to the pastures, selecting the Pokémon, and selecting "Check summary". In the Obsidian Fieldlands, you can find Buizels in Horseshoe Plains, near Worn Bridge, Windswept Run, or in massive mass outbreaks. In the Cobalt Coastlands, you can find them in Ginkgo Landing, Aipom Hill, or Bathers' Lagoon.

Unfortunately, this request comes down to luck, as Buizels can come in all sizes. Your best bet is to wait until you find a Buizel that is an alpha, which are guaranteed to be larger. After quelling a frenzied noble Pokémon, all wild Pokémon in that area have a small chance to be an alpha. Blindly catching Buizels can waste a lot of time, so it might be best to save the quest for later and just catch the Buizels you stumble across.

Once you catch a large enough Buizel, return to Jubilife Village and talk to Dorian to give it to him. You can select the Buizel from your pastures, so you don't need it in your party. You will give up the Buizel permanently, with no way to return it or exchange it for another.

When you give him the Buizel, he makes a bunch of observations of the differences between the two Buizels. To thank you for the favor, he hands you 5 Oran Berries and an Exp. Candy S.

4	Big Buizel, Little Buizel	Dorian	Catch a big [note 1] Buizel for Dorian of the Security Corps, who wants an even bigger specimen to raise alongside the Buizel he already has.

Request 5: What It Takes to Be Awesome

Sho sitting on a pile of wood

In Jubilife Village, talk to Sho, a boy sitting on a pile of wood in the southwest corner. He asks you what it takes to be an awesome member of the Galaxy Team: to him, to be awesome, you need a partner Pokémon! He's been practicing his aim to catch his own partner Pokémon with practice balls, but hasn't used the real deal yet.

He asks to give him five real Poké Balls for him to use. You likely already have five Poké Balls, but if you don't, you can buy Poké Balls from Choy in the general store, or craft them using Apricorns and Tumblestone.

When you hand him 5 Poké Balls, he thanks you and hands you 3 Grit Dust, which is a type of item that can strengthen your Pokémon's effort levels and stats.

Request 6: Mushroom Cake Marketing

Morel in the Fieldlands Camp

Head to the Fieldlands Camp in the Obsidian Fieldlands. Talk to Morel, a man in a green outfit. He explains that he's invented a recipe using Cake-Lure Bases and his 20 years of mushroom foraging knowledge, but no one wants to try it! So, he wants you to make one of his Mushroom Cakes.

He asks you to collect the key ingredient to his Mushroom Cakes, a Springy Mushroom. The easiest way to get one is from Anvin from the craftworks in Jubilife Village, which you can buy for $200. Also, Paras and Parasect drop them when defeated, and you can randomly find them on the ground in the Obsidian Fieldlands.

When you get one, talk to Morel to give him a Springy Mushroom. He walks over to the crafting bench to make the cake, and explains that you can use it as bait for wild Pokémon. Cakes are actually more effective than berries in both catch rate and distraction time, but certain Pokémon are only attracted to certain types of cake. For example, these Pokémon are attracted to Mushroom Cakes, specifically. Definitely make use of cakes!

For helping him out, he hands you the Mushroom Cake recipe and 5 Cake-Lure Bases to make your own Mushroom Cakes. The request actually doesn't use the Springy Mushroom, so if you'd like, go to the crafting bench and make a Mushroom Cake yourself!

Request 7: Playing with Drifloon

The blackboard in Professor Laventon's office

You'll have to catch a Drifloon to unlock this quest. You can find them at nighttime throughout the Obsidian Fieldlands. They appear at Aspiration Hill, Floaro Gardens, near Worn Bridge, Deertrack Path, Windswept Run, Ramanas Island, or through massive mass outbreaks.

Guardsman Miki in front of seaside gate

In Jubilife Village, head to Professor Laventon's office in Galaxy Hall. Press A to look at the blackboard for requests. A Drifloon has been spotted with one of the children, and a guardsman, Miki, wants you to investigate. First, you'll have to talk to her for the details.

Head outside of Galaxy Hall and go to the seaside gate, the gate to the south where you first arrived from. Talk to Miki for the details. She informs you that in the evening, a Drifloon has been playing with one of the village children on Prelude Beach. The odd thing is, when they checked up on the children, none of them knew anything about a Drifloon! So, she wants you to investigate the Drifloon later in the day.

Head to your room. Time does not automatically pass in Jubilife Village, so you'll have to rest to change it to evening. Press A on your futon in the back of the room, and rest "Until evening".

Return to seaside gate and continue through. Turn east from the practice field to head to Prelude Beach.

The child and the Drifloon on Prelude Beach

Look behind the house to find the Drifloon and the child. When you approach, the child calls out for you. The Drifloon is holding on to him, and won't let him go home. So, you pry the Drifloon off of the child, and it flies away in the wind. The child tells you that his name is Taki. He doesn't want you to worry about the friendly Drifllon and he was keeping it a secret so it wouldn't get in trouble. He runs back to the village.

Return to seaside gate to report to Miki. You explain the situation, and that Taki was keeping it secret to prevent the Drifloon from getting in trouble. Miki worries that the child could have been in serious danger, and decides to tell Zisu to set up more guardsmen at Prelude Beach.

She thanks you for investigating the Drifloon and hands you a Stardust.

Request 8: Bothersome Bidoof

The blackboard in Professor Laventon's office

Tsumugi next to the item storage box

In Jubilife Village, head to Professor Laventon's office in Galaxy Hall. Press A to look at the blackboard for requests. A group of Bidoof have been causing trouble around the village, and guardsman Tsumugi wants you to investigate. First, you'll have to talk to her for the details.

Head outside of Galaxy Hall and go to the front gate, the gate where you depart for expeditions from. Talk to Tsumugi next to the item storage box. She had heard of your ability to catch three Pokémon in your trial to become a member of the Survey Corps. When she begins explaning the situation, the Bidoof suddenly invade the village! She asks for your help to catch them, and she heard that Bidoof are easily distracted by other Bidoof.

The locations of the bothersome Bidoof

Tsumugi asks you to set a Bidoof in your party and use it to help her search for the three Bidoof. Head to the pastures to set a Bidoof in your party. One of the Bidoof is in the southeast corner, by the pasture fence. Another is behind a building on the west side of Canala Avenue. The last one is hidden to the west of your room.

After catching all three, Tsumugi releases the Bidoof and prepares to kick them out—however, she's interrupted by Sanqua of the Construction Corps. She wants to keep them and make use of their wood-chewing abilities for construction. Sanqua asks the Bidoof to work with her, and they agree! Tsumugi feels uneasy about the decision, but reluctantly agrees since they're under Sanqua's supervision.

Tsumugi thanks you for helping her out and hands you a Rare Candy for the trouble.

Request 9: Zubat's Eyes

The blackboard in Professor Laventon's office

You'll have to catch a Zubat to unlock this quest. You can find them at nighttime throughout the Obsidian Fieldlands. They appear at the Worn Bridge, Deertrack Path, Deertrack Heights, Windswept Run, Nature's Pantry, Tidewater Dam, The Heartwood, Oreburrow Tunnel, near Obsidian Falls, or through massive mass outbreaks.

Guardsman Clarissa to the west of Canala Avenue

In Jubilife Village, head to Professor Laventon's office in Galaxy Hall. Press A to look at the blackboard for requests. Clarissa is asking about Zubat, but you'll have to talk to her for the details.

Head to the west side of Canala Avenue and talk to Clarissa for the details. She was wondering about how Zubat can see in complete darkness, and theorizes that its eyes must be incredibly powerful. Perhaps the Security Corps could learn a thing or two from Zubat's night vision!

She asks you to show her a Zubat, so that she can get a better look at its eyes.

Talk to Clarissa to show her a Zubat. You can select a Zubat from your pastures, so you don't need it in your party.

Clarissa examines the Zubat and finds out that... it doesn't have any eyes! It must get around using some other sense. (According to the Pokédex, Zubat emits sound waves to perceive the space around it—this is also known as echolocation.) Even though she won't be able to get night vision like she originally wanted, she realizes that she can instead use a partner Zubat to help her get around in the night.

For helping her understand Zubat's eyes (or lack thereof), Clarissa hands you 2 Aux Powers.

Request 10: Wurmple's Evolved!

The blackboard in Professor Laventon's office

You'll have to do three things to unlock this quest. First, complete Request 1: Wurmple Can Evolve. Then, talk to Beauregard to cause Wurmple to evolve. Finally, complete Cascoon's Pokédex entry by completing enough tasks to reach research level 10. You can find Cascoon at night in the Obsidian Fieldlands. They appear at Floaro Gardens, Horseshoe Plains, The Heartwood, and massive mass outbreaks.

Guardsman Beauregard in front of Galaxy Hall

In Jubilife Village, head to Professor Laventon's office in Galaxy Hall. Press A to look at the blackboard for requests. Beauregard is concerned about how his Wurmple is evolving, but you'll have to talk to him for the details.

Head outside of Galaxy Hall and talk to Beauregard. Professor Laventon took a look at his Wurmple and told him that it's evolving into a Cascoon (and eventually Dustox), instead of a Silcoon and the eventual Beautifly that he wanted it to be.

Beauregard wants you to show him a Silcoon to prove Laventon wrong. You can find a Silcoon during the daytime in the in the Obsidian Fieldlands. They appear at Floaro Gardens, Horseshoe Plains, The Heartwood, and massive mass outbreaks.

Talk to Beauregard to show him a Silcoon. You can select a Silcoon from your pastures, so you don't need it in your party.

You put your Silcoon and Beauregard's Pokémon side by side... and he still thinks that they're the same. You point out the differences between them, and then it becomes clear to him: his Pokémon is a Cascoon. He apologizes to his Cascoon for his ignorance, but the Cascoon makes it clear that it wants to keep being his partner. Even though it won't become a Beautifly, the two are still inseparable.

For helping him understand his Cascoon, Beauregard gives you an Exp. Candy S.
