Jubilife Village

The player using a Smoke Bomb to hide from a Luxio

You return to Jubilife Village, as Volo greets you at the front gate. He saw a light in the sky and came out, hoping that you quelled the noble Kleavor! He gets a glimpse of the two plates you've received, the Mind Plate and the Insect Plate. A mysterious message is written on them that states, "Where all creation was born, that is the being's place of origin." You explain to him that you received them from Kleavor and Wyrdeer. He wants you to continue getting more plates to read, and excitedly sets off.

Head to Galaxy Hall and go up to Kamado's office. Kamado heard what happened with Kleavor and congratulates you on your work, as the people of Hisui have one less thing to worry about. However, there are more nobles that are similarly in a frenzy, and he orders you to continue investigating. But for now, you are dismissed and can take a rest at the Wallflower.

You've completed The Frenzied Lord of the Woods!

You return to the Wallflower. Beni brings you more potato mochi, and he mentions that word gets around the village quick: quelling Kleavor's frenzy has given you quite the reputation. Rei/Akari and Laventon praise you for making the Obsidian Fieldlands safer, and Rei/Akari gives you a recipe for Smoke Bombs. You can use them as temporary cover that you can sneak in, much like tall grass. Laventon wants you to continue filling the Pokédex, and you all dig in to the potato mochi.

Eerie Apparitions in the Night

After you eat, you head off to your quarters. Before you enter, a child in a brown outfit calls your name and urges you to follow her. She takes you to a bridge near the pastures and introduces herself as Vessa. A calamity that was once sealed away has started to break out, and its seal is broken. She asks you to restore the seal and she gives you an Odd Keystone. In order to restore the seal, you must collect ghostly purple wisps into the Odd Keystone. Vessa points to one that's nearby, and asks you to collect it.

Cross the bridge and press A on the wisp by the tree to collect it into the Keystone. Vessa thanks you for helping her, and she'll give you rewards when you find a certain amount. There are 107 wisps that have been scattered across Hisui, and you can also talk to her to find out how many are remaining.

You receive Request 22: Eerie Apparitions in the Night. You can refer to Spiritomb Wisps for additional details. This is the only request that is automatically obtained in the main story.

Hairdresser of the Diamond Clan

You return to bed. The next day, a girl in a Diamond Clan outfit shouts about how amazing the Jubilife Village hairdresser is. She recognizes you as the person who quelled Kleavor's frenzy and introduces herself as Arezu, a warden of the Diamond Clan. Her hobby is that she gives haircuts. She had intended on speaking with Kamado, so she leaves. This isn't the last time you'll see her, however, as you receive a mission: Arezu's Predicament.

The player receiving their second star

Head inside Galaxy Hall, and go up to the third floor to reach Kamado's office. When you approach, you overhear Arezu and Kamado having a conversation. An Ursaluna has gone into a frenzy, much like the noble Kleavor. Arezu turned to the Galaxy Team, because both clan leaders are busy and Ursaluna's warden is too stubborn to let her help.

You enter into the room. Kamado orders you to head to a new area, the Crimson Mirelands, to study the Ursaluna. You nod and head down to Cyllene's office for the details. Cyllene informs you that the Crimson Mirelands is filled with more dangerous Pokémon and a harsher landscape, so this won't be easy. You must be a Second Star to go to the Crimson Mirelands.

If you haven't already, earn enough research points to rank up to Second Star (you need 1,800 points). You can refer to Part 2 of this walkthrough for details.

When you earn enough research points, talk to Cyllene to show her your Pokédex.

You've become a Second Star recruit!

As a Second Star recruit, you can use a new type of Poké Ball called a Feather Ball, which flies in a straight line and is intended for certain flying encounters. In addition, Pokémon up to level 30 will obey you in battle and you'll earn more money from survey reports. Cyllene hands you the crafting recipes for Feather Balls and Super Potions.

After reaching Second Star rank, Cyllene gives you the details of your mission. You must head to a place called the Solaceon Ruins to find Calaba, Ursaluna's warden.

Some practice before the trip

Head outside of Galaxy Hall and go to the front gate. Rei/Akari meets you there, and they challenge you to a battle to train them again!

  • Rei/Akari leads with Mime Jr., a Psychic/Fairy-type Pokémon. It's weak to Poison, Ghost, and Steel-type attacks. Watch for its Hypnosis: it causes Drowsy, which increases the damage taken of the inflicted Pokémon and gives them a chance to be too sleepy to act on their turn.
  • Then, they send out their main partner, Pikachu, which is Electric-type. Electric-type Pokémon are only weak to Ground-type attacks. Ground-type Pokémon are also immune to Electric-type moves, so it would make a perfect counter to their Pikachu. Also, watch for Thunder Wave: it causes Paralysis, which reduces the Speed of the inflicted Pokémon and gives them a chance to be too weak to act on their turn.

After defeating Rei/Akari, they hand you a new recipe for Stealth Sprays, which muffle the sound of your footsteps and make it harder for wild Pokémon to notice you. They also mention something called a space-time distortion, which you can get rare items from, and head off to the Mirelands Camp.

When you're ready, head through the front gate to depart for the Crimson Mirelands.

Space-time distortions (Optional)

Now that you have access to space-time distortions, there's some preparation that you need in order to make the most out of them. They drop many items for evolution, items for earning money, and most importantly, exclusive rare Pokémon! They can spawn every 5 to 40 minutes, meaning it can be a very long time until another one appears.

Press Minus (-) to open your Arc Phone to see where it is on the map. If it hasn't begun, it appears as a semi-transparent hemisphere.

Preparation

When you receive the notification that reads, "A space-time distortion seems to be forming!" that means it hasn't formed yet and you have a few minutes to prepare. It won't begin until you receive another message that reads, "A space-time distortion appeared!"

  • Only bring the essentials. Empty as much of your satchel as you can, and make sure you're prepared with Poké Balls and healing items like Revives and Potions.
  • Bring a couple of Pokémon for catching. This typically includes a Pokémon with False Swipe and another with a move that inflicts a status like Hypnosis or Thunder Wave.
  • At any point, if you ever rest at the tent to heal your Pokémon, ONLY rest "Just for a little while". Any other option will change the time of day and the distortion with disappear. Of course, returning to Jubilife Village, blacking out, or closing the game will also make the distortion disappear.

When it begins

Head to the area where the distortion is on the map. It appears as a hemisphere of thunderous dark clouds. Inside, there's a lot going on, but don't panic, there's only a few things to know.

  • Rare items will begin appearing on the ground. Press Plus (+) to ride Wyrdeer and press A whenever you come across an item. Keep moving and searching around the entire area of the distortion.
  • Pokémon will begin appearing in front of you, in groups of 2 to 4. After a few seconds, they will despawn and a new group will take its place. If you want to catch one, throw out a Pokémon, and the Pokémon will stop despawning. Being in battle or opening a menu pauses all timers, including the time it takes for new Pokémon to spawn, or the time before the distortion ends and disappears.
  • Otherwise, keep moving around on Wyrdeer to avoid their attacks until they despawn. Be careful, as many Pokémon can be a very high level or even be an alpha.

When it's finished

Once the space-time distortion is over, the area returns to normal and all of the exclusive Pokémon and items disappear.

Congratulations! You've completed your first space-time distortion!
  • You should return to a base camp to heal your Pokémon and empty all of the new items you've collected into the item storage.

New Pokémon in the Obsidian Fieldlands

This is an updated list of encounters to include Pokémon in space-time distortions in the Obsidian Fieldlands. They also now include mass outbreaks, which are events where you can encounter multiple of a certain Pokémon with increased Shiny rates!

Ramanas Island and most of Lake Verity are still inaccessible, so they will be covered later.

Crimson Mirelands

Laventon greets you when you arrive in the Crimson Mirelands for the first time, as it's teeming with poison-type Pokémon. Rei/Akari heard about your mission to help Ursaluna, and they point you to the Solaceon Ruins up north. They set off to look for space-time distortions.

Laventon also suggests that if you ever have any trouble, have Zisu teach your Pokémon new strong moves. You can also have her use Seeds of Mastery to master those moves and enable agile/strong style. You should also use any Grit items you may have (like Grit Dust or Grit Gravel) to increase your Pokémon's effort levels and stats. The most important stat is Speed, due its direct effect on action speed.

Make sure your Pokémon are at least level 20 before proceeding.
All of the areas in the Crimson Mirelands

New areas to explore (Optional)

Now that you've arrived in the Crimson Mirelands, there's tons of new Pokémon to catch! With Wyrdeer, you have access to the entire map! You can reach Golden Lowlands, Gapejaw Bog, Ursa's Ring, Sludge Mound, Scarlet Bog, Cloudpool Ridge, Shrouded Ruins, Diamond Heath, Diamond Settlement, Bolderoll Slope, Cottonsedge Prairie, Droning Meadow, Lake Valor, and even the Holm of Trials!

To reach the Holm of Trials, you'll have to jump across a shallow part of the river near Sludge Mound. There's a few spots it looks like you can jump, but only one of them is actually thin enough to jump across.

Warden of the Pearl Clan's Ursaluna

Calaba, an older lady in a pink Pearl Clan hoodie next to a Bibarel, introducing herself to the player.
Calaba, one of the wardens of the Pearl Clan

Head to the Solaceon ruins and continue inside. Approach the older woman in a pink hoodie with a Bibarel. She introduces herself as warden Calaba of the Pearl Clan. She notices your Celestica Flute and recognizes you as the one who quelled noble Kleavor's frenzy. However, she judges you for the way you handled it and the Poké Balls you use, and decides she doesn't need your or the Diamond Clan's help. She tells you to leave, and walks off deeper in the cave.

Volo arrives in the ruins, as he mentioned earlier. He wants you to show him the strength that quelled a frenzied noble, and challenges you to another battle!



After defeating Volo, he complements your strength and heals your Pokémon. He asks for your help to retrieve a stolen Wall Fragment. A group of bandits called the Miss Fortunes stole a chunk of the wall engravings from Solaceon Ruins. They even stole from the Ginkgo Guild! Calaba's been trying to chase them down, but she's having trouble at her age. Volo suggests that you check out a mysterious campfire near the Mirelands Camp.

The Miss Fortunes

A group of 3 women in tattered clothing with blue war paint, introducing themselves as the Miss Fortune sisters.

Head near the Mirelands Camp and instead head east, along the river. Approach the campsite: you hypothesize that someone must have been here, when you hear a voice—3 hostile women, who you can easily presume are the Miss Fortunes. They introduce themselves as Charm, the eldest, Clover, the middle sister, and Coin, the youngest.

Coin is challenges you to a battle, alongside her partner Pokémon Toxicroak. Defeat her to take back the Wall Fragment!

Toxicroak is Poison/Fighting-type. It is weak to Flying, Ground, and Psychic-type.


After defeating her, she reveals that she once was a part of the Galaxy Team, but left. She gives you the Wall Fragment for defeating her. Charm asks you why you were seeking them out, and you answer that it was for Ursaluna or Calaba. Charm explains that not everyone has the luxury to help others, as some people struggle just to survive. She also has a score to settle with the Galaxy Team, reads out the Wall Fragment, threatens you, and leaves.

Return the Wall Fragment

Calaba playing her Celestica Flute to call Ursaluna

Head to Solaceon Ruins with the good news: you have secured the Wall Fragment! Approach Volo, who commends you for your effort. Volo explains that even though Calaba is stubborn, it's because she loves the Pearl Clan a lot and not because of any actual hate. Volo wishes you luck on quelling Ursaluna, and heads out.

Approach Calaba in the back of the cave. She's as stubborn as ever, but you hand her the Wall Fragment. She puts it back into place, and it reads, "All lives touch other lives to create something anew and alive..." Calaba interprets the message to mean that people can help each other to reach greater heights, and she understands what it means now. She asks for your name and for your help to calm down Ursaluna. Because it's not in a full frenzy like Kleavor, he'll return to normal with some medicine.

Head to Sludge Mound

Calaba says to meet her on Sludge Mound when you're ready. Head to Sludge Mound and approach Calaba. After Calaba plays her Celestica Flute, Ursaluna appears! She wishes you luck with taking it on, but she won't allow you to catch it as it's important to the Pearl Clan.

Ursaluna is Normal/Ground-type. It is weak to Fighting, Water, Grass, and Ice-type. It also is immune to Ghost and Electric-type.

Finding items with Ursaluna

After taking out the Ursaluna, Calaba feeds it a special medicine of the Pearl Clan, called a "Toxi-Gone", meant to clear poisons. Ursaluna cries out of disgust, but it has now calmed down. Strangely, it's not in a frenzy, and you can tell because it's not glowing like Kleavor.

Calaba asks you to play your Celestica Flute. Ursaluna learns the sound of your playing and you can now ride it! It also gives you the Earth Plate. Calaba explains that it's good at digging, and suggests that you report to commander Kamado about what happened.

You can now ride Ursaluna! As always, you can summon a Ride Pokémon by pressing Plus (+). You can also swap between your Ride Pokémon by pressing Left or Right on the D-pad. You can't throw any items or Pokémon out while on a Ride Pokémon, so press Plus (+) again to quickly dismount.

Ursaluna acts as an alternative to the Dowsing Machine, which was used in previous games to look for hidden items. A colored radar will appear in front of Ursaluna, starting off as the color green. If it turns yellow or red, that means it's getting close to an item and it'll run faster. A red "!" icon will appear if you're on top of an item, and you can press Y to dig it up.

The mysterious Pokémon stuck to the player's back

The Symbol Pokémon

Head to a base camp and talk to Professor Laventon. He notices something odd stuck to your back, and it turns out to be a Pokémon in the shape of the letter A: it's an Unown! Laventon heard Volo mention that the carvings on the walls of Solaceon Ruins resembled writing, and he hypothesizes that the carvings are meant to resemble this Pokémon!

Laventon adds a new section to your Pokédex called the Unown Research Notes! Unown will be hidden in certain spots on the map, but they won't move or battle you. Throw empty Poké Balls at these hidden Unown, because you are unable to battle them. The Unown Research Notes also include hints on where you can find them.

You can refer to Unown Locations for a detailed walkthrough on the locations of the Unown.

When you're ready, talk to Professor Laventon again to return to Jubilife Village.
