Sun and Moon Poké Pelago, Beans and Berries
Develop Mohn’s islands and put boxed Pokémon to work on Berries, items, training and hatching.
Original Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon for Nintendo 3DS (2016). Sun and Moon differences are labelled. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have a different story, expanded Pokédex and altered trials.
Unlock and develop the islands
Poké Pelago opens after Kiawe’s trial and is accessed through the menu. Mohn develops its islands using the number of Pokémon in your PC Boxes and a supply of plain Poké Beans. Build the next island for a specific purpose before spending every Bean on temporary speed boosts. Pokémon living in Boxes support the development requirement.
Five different purposes
| Island | Purpose | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| Isle Abeens | Beans and visiting wild Pokémon | Shake the beanstalk; return to check interested visitors |
| Isle Aplenny | Grow Berries | Plant useful healing, resistance or EV-reducing Berries |
| Isle Aphun | Item-search missions | Choose a cave route for stones, shards or treasure |
| Isle Evelup | Experience or EV play sessions | Select the desired drink and number of sessions |
| Isle Avue | Friendship and Egg warming | Check residents and hatching Eggs regularly |
Plan Beans and timers
Beans in an island’s crate improve its activity while their timer remains active. Better island ranks increase capacity or results. Keep a reserve of plain Beans for permanent development. Rainbow Beans are also valuable for Pokémon Refresh affection, so decide whether to spend or exchange them. A visitor on Isle Abeens is not an automatic catch: check again to see whether it stayed and wants to join.
Avoid accidental training
On rank 3 Isle Evelup, an EV drink supplies four EVs per session, making 63 sessions a full 252-stat plan from zero. Beans speed the session timer. Experience sessions serve a different purpose and do not train the chosen EV stat. Collect or check Isle Avue Pokémon regularly; an excessively long uninterrupted hot-spring stay can eventually reduce friendship. Confirm the selected Pokémon and activity before leaving the islands.
