Show-and-tell requests
Section titled “Show-and-tell requests”Three trainers at the start of Hoenn keep asking to see a specific Pokémon that you caught yourself. Each request has a minimum level, and you keep the Pokémon. Every time you show one you get 250, 500 or 750 F plus an item.
After each request you have to wait before they ask for the next: until the next full hour after the first and second, and until the next day (midnight UTC) after the third.
| Trainer | Where | Pokémon they ask for (minimum level) | Item rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oldale Town Pokémon Center | |||
| Petalburg Pokémon Center | |||
