Kanto side quests

Kanto mixes short story-time quests with some of PBO’s toughest post-game content: Yveltal, Regidrago, Mewtwo and several weekly and daily battle challenges. The guides below give full solutions, so they contain spoilers.

Pokemon Tower 7FPokémon Tower 7F, where the Calamity Covenant performs its ritual.Wild Pokémon here
  1. Start during the story. Do the Moonlight Ritual in Mt. Moon and Part 1 of Buzzing Hide and Seek in Viridian Forest.
  2. Become Kanto Champion. That opens the daily hide and seek, Ash’s Champion battle and Mewtwo Strikes Back.
  3. Do Mewtwo Strikes Back before Project T.E.R.A. The Mewtwo you catch in Cerulean Cave counts as caught by you, so it can become Armored Mewtwo.
  4. Do Sage Eron and the Regis before Echoes of the Unknown. The Fennel Valley researchers only appear after the first part of Eron’s quest in Hoenn, and the Regis drop the Stone, Icicle and Iron Plates you hand over.
