I've been hatching Synchronize Abra to get all the usable natures, so this won't take long at all. This is worth it for the 5 Rare Candy alone. (thank you very much annoying grind to level 100)
Huh. I'm guessing you'll need to gather them from Isle Abeens specifically; gifts from other players or the cafes in the Pokemon Centers won't count. I guess I need to make use of the thousands I've already got to make sure I've room.We crushed the goal with ease (14,503,078 eggs hatched). Get your 400 or 4,000 FC reward by talking to the girl next to the PC when you enter Festival Plaza. The serial code to redeem 5 Rare Candy and Love Ball will be available mid-April. Next mission, which involves harvesting Poké Beans, will begin April 25th at 4am UTC, stay tuned!

I'm guessing that, for the next mission, only Poké Beans that add to your total will count towards the mission, i.e. if you maxed out your Poké Beans and try to collect more, they won't count even if they disappear from Isle Abeens.
Well, I guess I'll be straight up throwing them away in batches of 50 if I want to contribute to this one.I'm guessing that, for the next mission, only Poké Beans that add to your total will count towards the mission, i.e. if you maxed out your Poké Beans and try to collect more, they won't count even if they disappear from Isle Abeens.
What is the max limit you can get per day? Since there's 5 islands the max you can "throw out" easily is 250 in one go (and the timers last less than a day so if you go back later in the day you can probably toss out a batch more). But tossing the 250 per day should give you plenty of room to collect all the new Poke Beans. And if you still need to get rid of beans there's always the option of feeding them to your Pokemon.Well, I guess I'll be straight up throwing them away in batches of 50 if I want to contribute to this one.
not looking forward to a certain brachyuran mission :/Dragon Fang said:Looking at the raw game-text in Sun & Moon, you can notice some interesting lines of dialogue which are most likely referring to the objectives of future Global Missions.
Hatch as many Pokémon Eggs as possible during the mission period!
Harvest as many Poké Beans as possible on Poké Pelago during the mission period!
Take as many photos that exceed 10,000 points as possible with your Poké Finder!
Catch as many Crabrawler as possible! They’re hiding behind Berries!
Defend your Pokémon League Champion title as many times as possible during the mission period!
Find fishing spots with bubbles coming out, and fish as many Pokémon or items as possible during the mission period!
Win as many Master Rank Battle Royals as possible during the mission period!
Win as many lotos as possible at Festival Plaza and tourist bureaus during the mission period!
Earn as many Battle Points as possible at the Battle Tree during the mission period!
Text for the previous two missions to catch Pokemon and catch / defeat Island Scan Pokemon, as well as for the ongoing mission to do GTS trades is there too.
Dates, rewards and numbers are mentioned nowhere. The order the missions are listed in above is random, and not necessarily the one they'll occur in.
Although highly improbable, it's not impossible for any of these to be changed or never happen.
You can open and close the PokeFinder to reset for what Pokemon appears in the various spots if needed, but I believe taking photos of Bewear is the most consistent means to getting lots of points. Crabrawler won't be too hard as there's plenty of opportunities to encounter it across Alola.Would be interesting to see how the Poke Bean mission goes, considering there's a limit to how many Poke Beans you can collect at a given time so it's going to need multiple days to complete, let alone get to the Level Ball goal.
Rapti:
Ooh boy... some of those are making me worried:
10k Photos: I'm guessing you need to fully upgrade the PokeFinder to start getting those level of photos. Eh, I've been meaning to do that so maybe will get on that. Still, considering how many points you need for the final upgrade, it's going to be a grind. Of course, that brings up what will the goal be as I don't think a lot of players will be willing to do that. Maybe instead of taking 10k photos how about just us getting to a certain amount of photo points?
Crabrawler: Wonderful, another catching one for one of the Pokemon most annoying to catch in the wild if you're not lucky.
Win Master Rank Battle Royals: HAHAHA!
Triples are only really gone because the 3ds wouldn't be able to handle 6 pokemon at once on screen. It already lags with doubles, let alone how it'd lag with triples.The spoilers man! THE SPOILERS! >:[
(/doesn't actually care about you mentioning spoilers o3o)
On a serious note, everyone please try Battle Royals, they're fun and I don't want that metagame to disappear the way triples did
:[Winning Master Rank Battle Royals where everyone is out to get ya is sure going to be fun tho!!1! /s
A mission based on this would be absolutely helpful for me, for someone who is as obsessed with battle facility sets as I am, the lack of attention I have given the Royale has been appalling. This would be a clever way of getting me back in that ring.On a serious note, everyone please try Battle Royals, they're fun and I don't want that metagame to disappear the way triples did
Not really, since I think bubbling spots are always the same. The easiest one to do is the one accessed by the Steelix boat in Seafolk Village, the spot where you can catch a Dhelmise. Since it's right next to the door you can easily reset it by going in and out.A mission based on this would be absolutely helpful for me, for someone who is as obsessed with battle facility sets as I am, the lack of attention I have given the Royale has been appalling.

That fishing mission is going to drive me to (more) insanity.
Oh, I'm not referring to the inherent difficulty of the task, I know how simple it is in this Gen thanks to that spot near the Ruins of Hope entrance. I've just found fishing boring for the entirety of the series.Not really, since I think bubbling spots are always the same.

I don't think it's about difficulty so much as it is about how dull and boring those missions are. Fishing is boring. Catching large amounts of pokemon is boring. Scanning QR Codes is boring. There are two clear cut-out answers for why all those missions failed so miserably: 1 - Nearly unrealistic objectives and/or 2 - They were boring as hell. Hatching a lot of eggs is also an incredibly boring task, but it's something the fandom learned to do compulsively, regardless of it, over the years, and that's the only reason why it was a success.Not really, since I think bubbling spots are always the same.

Agreed. Fishing in itself is boring since most people will have completed the Pokédex by now, so there really is very little incentive to participate in the mission, given the rewards of FC, 5 Rare Candy, and an Apricorn Ball (not to mention that the Festival Plaza is not what they had hoped it to be). It would be different if, instead of fishing, it was just to chain and the goal were a cumulative chain of a certain number. At least the chance of getting a shiny would incentivize more players to participate. Not sure if they have a way to track it, though.I don't think it's about difficulty so much as it is about how dull and boring those missions are.
Doesn't matter if they didn't complete the Pokedex, the bubbling spots only spit out something other than Magikarp and maybe Wishiwashi about 10% of the time. Few of the missions are exactly exciting, and the rewards are still pitiful. Since you have to log in to your PGL account to get your code for the rewards, why not have it that it's 5 Rare Candy for every multiple of the certain number to contribute you personally contribute? Or better yet, give us more than one Apricorn ball for the stretch goal reached reward! It doesn't have to be a huge number, 5 of the chosen ball would probably be nice enough incentive. (I still don't like that we get them back, but only one of each in the game and no way to purchase more, and this "well if you reach this number of ___ in this Global Mission, we'll give you ONE more of this ball - oh, but only if you've a PGL account!" almost feels mocking or something. They know players want these balls, so they're going to make players go through these missions just for the chance to obtain an extra.Agreed.
