Missions

Master all mission types in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, including Language Lesson, Find [x]!, Research [x]!, and Type Match-Up Tests. Learn how to earn Festival Coins.

There are hundreds of different missions in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, categorized into several types. Some missions require prior participation in at least 20 other missions before they become available.

Mission Types

Language Lesson:

Run by your visitors and look at the speech bubbles. Talk to those speaking in the language targeted by the mission. For example, target “Hello!” and “Thank You!” for English Lesson.

Find [x]!:

This can range from “Find the oldest sibling!” to “Find Bug-type enthusiasts!” Run by the visitors and look for speech bubbles linking to them fitting the status requirement and then talk to them to earn points. For example, Bug-type enthusiasts will be talking about various Alolan Bug-type Pokemon.

Research [x]!:

You will have to research clothing colors! Talk to trainers wearing the specific color targeted by the mission.

Send people off to…:

You will have to send visitors to various facilities and try to make them like it!

Costumes and Disguises:

Find and talk to visitors wearing (silly) costumes or disguises, or as an inversion, talk to visitors who are not disguised.

Life and the Universe:

A general lump category of missions that usually assign you to finding out about people’s lives. For example, you might be tasked with talking to people who have free time and find out what they do and how much they have.

Type Match-Up Tests:

There are two missions, that are inversions of each other. Both involve talking to all the visitors in your Plaza and answering their question which involves knowing the type chart like the back of your hand. The first mission will involve answering using the standard type chart, the second mission involves answering the questions as if inverse battle is in effect (i.e. all super effective / ineffective matchups are flipped, so Water is super effective against Dragon, for example).

Mission Rewards

At the end of each mission, you’ll be scored individually and overall as a group. Afterwards, you’ll be given an amount of Festival Coins (FC) corresponding to your individual and total player score. Achieving 5 stars for both scores grants the highest advertised FC; otherwise, you’ll receive a portion of the amount. Focus on your individual performance to aim for 5 stars, which usually yields half of the maximum FC. Showing up in the Top 3 can also earn extra rewards. The total player score needs to be very high, often requiring many players, to reach 5 stars. Not all missions fill up with players, so aim for your individual best.

Global Missions

Global Missions are similar to normal Missions but are released by Game Freak and Nintendo. They last for about a year after the game's launch. Released through Global Link and Game Sync, you need to register a Game Sync ID to participate. These missions have a specific duration, after which you receive FC as a reward. Succeeding can reward up to 4,000 FC if registered to Game Sync. Even if the goal isn't met, you'll receive over 1,000 FC for participating and being registered.
