MoBee is a character in Pokémon Quest. It is a drone designed by Silph Co.. It is a MoBee IV, which are (probably) drones that Silph Co. manufactures. However, the player almost always calls their drone MoBee, and so does the game in situations when MoBee speaks. The player brings MoBee along on their trip to Tumblecube Island, to assist in uncovering the island's hidden loot. It is designed after a Poké Ball, though MoBee has a box shape and the circle in the center is turquoise rather than white. MoBee flies via four propellers placed on top of it.

In the games

MoBee flies off from the player's boat as they first arrive on Tumblecube Island. After a short flight into the mainland, it abruptly malfunctions and crashes. After being rebooted, it asks for the name of its owner. It refers to the player by this name for the rest of the game. (This is one of those "ask for the player's name in a in universe manner" situations similar to Professor Oak forgetting the name of the rival character in Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen). It begins to deliver the daily news, only for the player to remind it of the task of exploring Tumblecube Island. Since MoBee lacks data on Tumblecube Island, it advises the player to befriend one of the Pokémon in the area so as to get the lay of the land. This leads to the player befriending their first Pokémon.

After completing the first expedition, MoBee follows the player to the clearing where the player sets up their Base Camp. It can be seen hovering next to the player's boat at all times.

Presumably, MoBee's assistance is required for the player to explore Tumblecube Island, as the battery in Pokémon Quest that gates stating expeditions is presumably a representation of MoBee's battery.

MoBee continues to help the player, by advising that the player can cook with the ingredients they find in order to attract new Pokémon and by connecting to the Poké Mart to get extra supplies. Mobee offers some other tutorial style advice as the game progresses.

After clearing the final stage of each area, Mobee identified the statue that the player found. After clearing each set of areas, Mobee locates routes which the player can take to reach the next set. This unlocks access to the next set of areas.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

MoBee's behavior grows increasingly erratic as Pokémon Quest progresses. When the player collects the 12th and final statue on the island, the Reverent Statue, this culminates in MoBee breaking down and falling to the ground yet again. It is revealed that Mewtwo had been controlling MoBee from the beginning, using it to lure the player to find the statues to free Mewtwo from the Chamber of Legends. After Mewtwo leaves Tumblecube Island, MoBee's functions are restored and it returns to flying. It delivers the news for the day: an energy of some kind was just detected as having left the island. (Presumably, this energy is the Mewtwo.).

It is assumed that MoBee continued to support the player as they explored Happenstance Island.

Trivia

• The loading screens for Pokémon Quest display a variety of information, some of which pertains to MoBee IV drones. They have the headers of MoBee IV Instruction Manual, MoBee IV's Hidden Features, and Inside Scoop on MoBee IV.
  • MoBee IV is recharged by sunlight. Its battery uses special technology from Silph Co.
  • MoBee IV can fly as fast as some of the fastest Pokémon.
  • MoBee IV has a divining system, which is considered reliable.
  • MoBee IV's price was reduced at some point. It was paired with a reduction of the capacity of the standard model's battery.

• Even though MoBee is supposed to be broken between obtaining the Reverent Statue and completing the game, it can still be seen flying in the Base Camp between these two points.
