Linked Tasks

You start with task 1, Ratpack Rumble: defeat 30 Rattata in any zone. Claiming it gives you 3,600 XP, 5 Revive and 20 Ultra Ball and unlocks task 2, Uprooted Menace (30 Oddish). If you repeat task 1 later, you no longer get that reward but the Repeat one: 900 XP, 1 Revive and 4 Ultra Balls.

1. 

   Step 1:

   Open the panel with Ctrl+L or the Linked Tasks button on the top bar. The shortcut can be changed in Hotkeys.

2. 

   Step 2:

   Pick an unlocked task and press «Start». Hover over its chest to see which reward you will get: the first-time one or the Repeat one.

3. 

   Step 3:

   Defeat the Pokémon it asks for, in its zone if the task names one. The panel shows how many are left.

4. 

   Step 4:

   When the counter reaches 0, the task is no longer active and «Claim» appears. Press it to get the reward; if it was your first time, the next task also unlocks.

• You can only have one Linked Task active. While you do, you cannot start or claim any other: if you have finished one, claim it before starting the next.

• If you cancel the active task you lose all the progress of that attempt: if you had 6,000 of 10,000 defeats, you go back to 0. First, the «Cancel Task» window warns you («All progress will be lost!») and you have to click «Yes, Cancel».

• If the task names a zone, only defeats there count; «Johto or Kanto» tasks accept either region. If it names none, defeats count anywhere.

• The panel only shows the tasks you have already unlocked, with their Pokémon, the amount, your progress and the reward.

• The star marks a task as a favourite. The panel lists the active task first, then your favourites, then the rest in order.

The first time you complete a task you get its full reward. After that you can repeat it, but each Repeat pays less:

The element Bag also drops on every Repeat, so repeating tasks is a way to stack up Bags. The Rare Bag (tasks 17–76, for example the Rare Electric Bag) gives better odds of rare Creature Items, medium fragments and better Boost Stones. The Mythic Bag (tasks 77–150, like the Mythic Ice Bag) holds higher-value rewards: rare Creature Items, large fragments and powerful Boost Stones.

Doing all 150 for the first time takes 880,720 defeats and gives you 689,220,580 XP in total.

Tasks 1–16

The warm-up: 30 to 800 defeats of one Pokémon. They give 3,600 to 4,320,000 XP, plus Revive and Ultra Ball: 5 and 20 on the first task, up to 80 and 320 on task 16. Tasks 9, 10, 12, 14, 15 and 16 are done in Johto or Kanto. Task 16, Inferno Sovereign, adds 2 Minor XP Boost and 2 Special Bubble Gum.

Tasks 17–76: Wildscape Hunter

10,000 defeats of one species in Wildscape. The first time they give 5,000,000 XP, 10 Balls of one kind, 1 Minor XP Boost or 1 Special Bubble Gum and the Rare Bag of its element. Each Repeat gives 1,250,000 XP, 3 of those Balls and the same Rare Bag. Wildscape hunts only give XP from level 150; the Hunt Finder in Hunts takes you to each entrance.

Tasks 77–150: Hoenn Hunter

4,000 defeats of one species in Hoenn. The first time they give 5,000,000 XP, 5 Medal Box, 1 Log Pose, 10 Alliance Ball, 10 Premier Ball and the Mythic Bag of its element. Each Repeat gives 1,250,000 XP, 3 Medal Boxes and the same Mythic Bag. To hunt in Hoenn you need the Hoenn Access quest (from level 250).

By zone: 74 tasks require Hoenn, 58 Wildscape, 6 Johto or Kanto, and 12 have no zone (1–8, 11, 13, 31 and 42).

Note: Kabutops (31) and Omastar (42) are the Wildscape Hunter exceptions: they ask for only 100 defeats, in any zone. Hydreigon (76) adds 100 Premier Ball the first time.
